F1 case complete and waiting for visa # availability

[NevermindVz 51]

If you are telling me the Cut-off date is September 16th, 2006, for the Sep. 2013 bulletin, I don't want to hear it!!!

No no, we don't know yet. The good news is that it seems they are starting to send out interview letters today. According to that link, the cutoff date will be "at least" Sept 22nd.

(he is from Peru but his interview is in Italy, since that is where he lives now)

You're a good news bringer. Thanks for that! And, yes -- I've been dreaming about the forum, too! You've all been family for so long now.

So looks like the cut off dates moved, and I believe a party for you is in order! Pizza and vodka over here! :-)

Thank you all for the congratulations!!

My interview was scheduled for 7:30 am, I arrived at 7:00 am and joined the line. At 7:00 the security came out and placed us in two lines, one for 7:15 appointments and one for 7:30 immigrant visa appointments.

Once inside, I was given a folder in which I was to placed all my documents to make it easily accessible. This didn't work well since I carried ALL my documents in my effort to be prepared. My name was called at around 9:00, at the window the clerk went through her file with me and asked for my original birth paper and a copy as well as the recent tax statements from my sponsors. She pointed an error on the affidavit of support and allowed me to correct it. She then took my passport and one of the pictures I walked with. I was given the DS230 to review, at this point I made a change to the address where I wanted the documents to be mailed in the US. This process took around 30 mins to complete. I was then asked to be seated and I would be called for an interview.

At around 10:00 my name was called and I proceeded to another window. I was asked my mom's name, what's the longest time I ever stayed in the US, and since I lived in Jamaica for three years, I was asked if I ever went back there to live or if I lived anywhere else. I was then asked if I made a reservation with DHL already which I had previously done.

That was it!!!

Visa Approved!!!! The interview was less than 5 mins!!!!

I was then asked to sign the DS230 and my birth certificate was returned.

To those with interviews coming up....good luck!!!

To those still waiting.....have faith you are almost there!!!
