Thank you! I hope so too after that first experience going back into NY lol

congratulations! I've got mine on thursday and am so anxious about it all.

Thank you I was pretty nervous, but calm at the same time if that makes any sense. We had nothing to hide and it was a matter of organization when you're at the interview. Good luck with yours!

Just to let everyone know that my passport was ready for pick up this morning at the DHL in Dorval I received the e-mail from Loomis who handles the domestic packages (they're affiliated with DHL) yesterday evening. So in total, that only took one business day from the interview date. Hope everyone else receives their passport just as quick

Approved.....! Yayyy!!!!!

Signed up with DHL. Waiting for the pickup at DHL location.

Logged in this morning. No change in log in applicant summary screen. See below.

Does the waybill number and applicant status appear only on the date that the package is ready for pickup???

Well I had my interview today and i'm still shaking. They asked me no questions about our relationship. We were not able to supply evidence of my husband's second marriage and divorce except for a statement from Alaska that they had no record of either event. The officer commented that this was strange and indeed it is, but nevertheless she then went on to the financial stuff. I could actually see the blue refusal slip with my name on it beside our papers and my heart was sinking fast. My husband does not file taxes as he is retired and his income is low. We supplied 1099s and a written explanation as to why he does not file and she said that i would need a joint sponsor.She gave me back my passport and i asked her 'What about my assets?'. I had supplied up to date bank staements with my name on them. She said that they did not seem to belong to me and i said 'really?' She looked again and went away. She then asked me for my passport back and i asked her if everything was ok. She said that normally they like to see tax returns. She did not give much away! She then said that she was going to approve my visa. i cannot express how releived i feel but i'll feel a whole lot better when i have the visa in my hand. I now have visions of my case being reviewed and them saying NO VISA. So still tense but hopeful that my vias will be deliverd soon. Thanks to members for so much advice and ebcouragement. I wish everyone well and congratulations to others on their approvals. I will post when i get that visa in hand!

You can add me as of August interview. We received an interview expedite and just yesterday the Embassy gave us the appointment. The thing is that still NVC has not sent documents to the Embassy !!!! and time is running short !!!!!!!

One question, do we need to give the Port of Entry at the Interview ? How long the transfer has to be if the stop in the first city of the US is not the final destination ? Is it possible to come from Spain to Canada and then make the POE at the Detroit Bridge or Tunnel ? We found a very cheap flight from there
