Qatar Airways is one of the best, I love flying with them when I can. Very good airline, too bad all their rates are a LOT more expensive when you buy from Qatar! So we're back.....AND APPROVED!! YAA

I updated the April interview list right before you made this thread (bad timing on my part ) to include a "received" column in the list, so people can put the date they received their dates and other

She had her interview on May 9th and they told her that her visa is approved, took her passport and said that it will be sent to her address in a week's time.

They also gave her the note to pay the $165 USCIS Fee before arriving to the US

So sry about my last post. I meant Ndu and Den.My question is this. Our case was recently closed on April 8th and my husabnd's interview is June 21st. We filed i130 in sept 2012 but we got married in July 2012. i havent visited since last july when I went for the wedding because I have been in school.I took fall,winter and spring classes. Im getting ready to take summer classes too. Plus im not financially buoyant at this time.Do you guys think it would be a problem for my husband. If he is asked when last did I visit since it is not up to a year and if yes what can we do?

Thank you for your anticipated reply. Meanwhile pls how do I add my interview date to the thread?

Congrats on your interview date.

First you are getting a late reply cos this had been deemed closed cos we now have a new thread : JUNE 2013 INTERVIEWS".

You need to go to your timeline section and click on "edit/add entry". Keep playing aorund with the site and you will get the hang of it soon :)

I was almost in the same situation as you. we wedded in Sept and I left Nigeria oct 15th. Came back to school and job and also PREGNANT. Before the pregnancy, we had planned i would return In Feb.

Ultimately, my opinion is that it depends on challenges (red flags) and what you have going for you like

* how long before wedding did you know each other? we had known for about 8months by our wedding.

* what is the age difference between you guys? he is older by 7yrs(very early 40s and me mid 30s).

*any cultural difference? we are both Igbo

*WHEN DID YOU GUYS MEET AND HOW MAY TIMES BEFORE THE WEDDING DID YOU VISIT HIM?( very important to overcome your absent of recent visit). I visited twice within a one year period; first time to meet him(in FEB) and then to have the wedding( in late AUGUST) which I stayed abt 6weeks. your husband NEEDS to know your visit dates and duartion too.

*did you FRONTLOAD additional proof to NVC like pics and other evidences. it most times eliminates the need to grill the applicant too much that day. if not, then make sure you get him proof of you beingin school for all those semesters.

*have you previously petitioned or has he been petitoned before by someone else? in our case, NO.

At the interview, the CO DID ask him why I havent visited again and he enswered that I am heavily pregnant. in your case, you guys could state you both decided for you to focus in advancing in your school program as much as possible so that when he comes in, you can both devote better time to each other ( you could omit the financial part or not stress that as the major reason cos you need to be able to support him).

You guys should remind yoursleves on other intimate and 'little' information likle where you live, what

job you do, etc. if he does well in answering those questions, the gap in visit should not be a problem.

when did you receive your interview date so I could add you?

i will link you to our interview review just in case:http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=11854

I will also PM you this reply just in case.
