Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations :D How was POE?

It was pretty easy. I actually got more questions there than I did at the actually embassy interview. But regardless it was easy. They basically process your information so they can send everything to USCIS to have your green card produced. I will write a review for my POE but they dont list Nassau Bahamas as an option, I sent a PM to the admin. Are you getting nervous yet????????

Just got back from the US Embassy in Santiago. My wife and step-daughter's visas were approved!

I plan to submit a full review of the interview later, but the short version is that it was one of the easiest steps in the process and took just under an hour.

I told them we have our flights booked for next Tuesday and they said they should have the visas ready to be picked up Wednesday or Thursday of this week!

Good luck to those that have interviews coming up!

Visa Approved!!! :dance: It is just pending medical results which the London embassy seem to have miss-placed, hoping it'll all be sorted by end of week though as the medical centre are also sending another copy of them to the embassy.

Yay! Congrats Peter! :dance:

I'm sure the embassy/ med will come through with your results--they obviously have them(and they were good to go) or else you'd not have gotten the interview, right? :)

The embassy actually said they hadn't received them yet so I was quick to inform them that they should have received them about a month ago. I did the medical a little early though so the embassy would have received the results before they received the file from NVC which maybe hasn't helped. I'm sure it will all be sorted in the next couple days though.

Good luck tomorrow though, I'm sure you'll be fine, the interview was pretty basic. I think it took them longer to check they had all the documents than it did to conduct the interview lol.
