HOLAAAAAA!!

We had our interview this past Wednesday in Lima. The officer told us it will be approved once her medical reports are sent in and are clear/fine. We are hoping for a late March, early April USA entry for her!!!! BUT, will wait for her passport to be in hand and stamped or whatever it is they do to it for the visa..so EXCITED and relieved.

I wish all others that have not been approved the best and an approval!

My fiancée was one of the first ones called for an interview and was out of the building by 0845. What a pleasant surprise as I had planned for a long arduous wait.

She got a woman CO who was very pleasant and asked the following questions:

Do you or your fiancé have any children?

Have you ever been to America?

What is your fiancé's name?

How did you meet your fiancé?

When did you meet your fiancé?

How many times did your HUSBAND visit you in China? (My fiancée corrected her to "fiancée not husband)

Are you a member of the CCP?

What does your fiancé do?

We had made flash cards with every question we could possibly think of and practiced well into the night last night. I had made several with questions about me using the word "husband" and she quickly learned to be on alert for the tricky question. I doubted they would ask that but they did so it paid off.

They CO looked over my I-134 again and made some favorable comments about my income and then said,"You are approved!"

She gave her a white paper approval notice.

I'm still in shock how lucky we were being able to line up at 0700 and be out by 0845!

For us Guangzhou was a breeze plus the weather has been very comfortable.

The April filers thread seems to have slowed down so I hope everyone is getting approved and beginning new chapters with their loved ones at this point. Good luck all!

Thnaks! I see you two are united as of the 12th. Congratulations to you! We've got about 3 weeks before we are together.

Yeah, the April filers thread has slowed up but maybe we'll see it get active again with the next phase of the process. But for now it's nice to take a breather.

We still have not received the passport with her visa. The Embassy has all of her paperwork, we had to send in the med rpt after the interview, since 2/13/2013. How much longer will it take? We sent an email last week and the said to wait until yesterday. I called in to the Embassy yesterday and after being ON HOLD for 40 minutes the call was disconnected - CAN YOU SAY NOT VERY HAPPY to say the least. I will try to call in again today since the usavisa-info.com page does not have an update other than the info that they have our documentation. NOW this is painful, annoying, stressful... Just venting since there is not much one can do other than waiiiiittttt....waaaaaah haha

We received an email today that her visa has been approved and to check...here:

"Dear Sir:

It was a delay in the approvals of your fiance’s visa. Now has been approved and your fiancé can check the next week her account to see any message from DHL informing she can pick up her visa and package of the visa.

Sincerely

Immigrant Visa Unit"

Wait until next Monday and check the website again..is all we can do. YEAAHHH Now, we are excited but will be even more so once she has the package in her hand!!!

Hey guys i filed ours October 30, 2012, any october filers here? Do you guys have any updates? Im losing hope ?

Might want to try this thread for October filers: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/392635-october-2012-k1-filers/

This is the April filers thread. Most of us received our NOA2s by Oct/Nov of last year. You're losing hope already?? You haven't even reached 5 months yet. VSC was slowing to a crawl last year and driving us all mad. Still, most of us did receive our NOA2s within 6 or 7 months which is considered normal. 5 months is really more of a minimum rather than an average for normal case files that aren't being expedited. You still have several weeks before worry should set in. Even then, I wouldn't be losing hope over it. If you haven't received a response after 7 months, then you can start putting your foot down so to speak. Follow the thread I linked here and see what other October filers are discussing. Trends vary so what we went through at the time isn't going to necessarily put you at any ease. However, 5-7 months is the normal processing time at any given time until USCIS says otherwise.
