Congrats. The light is shining brightly. Good going.

We had our medicals today. A small fortune later. And I think it went ok. My son needs a vaccine that is not in Australia, but needed for the USA and my eldest daughter hasn't got any chicken pox vaccine records. So we need to get them done and send thru a certificate saying that have been done and our medicals will be complete.

And just as we were arriving in Melbourne, I got a skype message from my fiance to say that he has packet 3. Doh. It didn't even get sent to me, but he did forward a copy to me.

But anyway.. Good to hear some people getting good news. Keep your heads high.. I'm going to put my head low on the pillow for some sleep.

Well wishes to everyone

So glad your medical went well. Don't worry too much about the vaccine in the uk the chickenpox one is not available either. I was told mines not complete till I get to AOS and do medical there. Plus they accept if you have had chickenpox before. The rest you can do in the US. Things are moving for you you will be doing your interview soon.

Hooray we were approved our visa today at the interview. Thank god. Ithe visa will be sent In about 10 days I was told. Got up really early around 5.00 to get ready. It was rainy today and silly me left my umbrella behind. Luckily when I got to the que there was a girl in front of me that was going for a visitors visa who was kind enough to share her umbrella with me.

The embassy was packed full of people all going for diffent visas. It's funny the k1 visa didn't move as quick as the other visas. AnY way after 40 mins of waiting I finally got called up to counter number 1. The lady was a nice Asian lady. She asked me for my interview letter and my number. Then asked me for my police cert and my 2 passport pics. Then my birth certificate. I gave her all of the stuff she asked. She then said where is your daughter. I had to explain again that she didn't come cos she won't be joining me till summer. So she said ok but make sure she joined you in the summer cos the K2 visa has a 1 year limit after that they won't allow her to join again. She said can I fill out the forms for her now so she can make a folder for her for when she comes to interview in June. Luckily I carried all the info of her school etc with me so was able to fill out the ds157 and 156. I handed it back to her and she then told m to put my finger on the screen for finger prints. After that was done she took my passport. And asked for my visa receipt of payment and the courier recipt. She took my passport of me then put it in somekind of plasticky see through folder then gave me my x-Ray film from my medical said I can keep that. She told me o go sit down and wait and someone will call me in for the interview. I sat down for another 15 minutes then my number flashed up on the screen I front again. I went to counter 16 and saw a lovely African American lady who proceeded to tell me to swear that everything was the truth. After I swore she asked me a few questions.

First was how did we meet

When did we meet

How did the relationship progress

Have I been to see him

Have I met his family

Where did we meet again

She kept trying to confuse me cos even though I told her Georgia she said a few times was that in Florida.

She asked when he proposed

When do I plan to go

Then after that she said I am happy to tell you your visa is approved. It will take about 10 days to be couriered to you. When you get the white plastic envelope inside there will be sealed envelope this is what you need to give them at the port of entry in Georgia . Congratulations and good luck with the future. She even printed out all the information that my daughter needs for when she has her interview I.e evidence she needs to bring.

That was my experience happy it is all over and done. On to the next phase which is finding ticket to fly in December it's been a journey I must say. All those still waiting don't worry they really are nice at the embassy and it's just a formality cos they already know they will be giving you a visa. If they didn't they would grill you with more questions. In my interview I never got many she just repeated the same ones twice.

Hope all waiting that filed in may have a good experience too. I will let you guys know once the visa arrives by courier. Thanks everyone for the support really appreciate it and am so glad I have been able to meet such nice people here on the visa journey site.smile.pngsmile.pngsmile.png

BUMMER!!! No interview date yet! The other person said midweek this this one just said it's on the way to the embassy in Rio de Janeiro. Anxiety is torture!!! Must be patient but i'm not very good at it!oops8rh.gif

You really need to read up on some of the posts here. For K1's, your interview date is not assigned by the NVC. It's assigned by the embassy once you've completed their requirements.

In other news, CEAC updated for me today. Or rather the date on it did to today's date. I'm thinking that means our paperwork's been logged and now London is ready for us to do the medical and the two forms. When I sort this blasted passport out.

Sorry, I came in really late to the forum about two weeks ago. I hadn't discovered this site earlier although I wish I had. The message is misleading because it says "IN TRANSIT Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." That made me think that maybe the NVC is the one who set up the interview so I called to see if I could find out. Another person also from Rio from this forum who went through the California Service Center and was approved about a week ahead of me got her interview date last week. I'm kinda using her timeline as something to go by. Her interview isn't until December 17. I am just excited to know when we'll be together even if it is two months off so I can really look forward to it.

Anyway, I am very happy for those of you who are getting your visas approved. It gives me hope that we are getting close. I think once I have an interview date set, I will be able to relax and just prepare. There is nothing holding us back from buying the ticket the day teh visa is in hand.

Congrats Nurseling!!!!!!! :)

Btw, Anybody from the Philippines done with the interview? My file was sent to the embassy October 9 according to NVC. As of yesterday, the embassy in Manila said they haven't received the physical file but they will forward an instruction for the interview once received. May I ask if somebody from the Philippines received this instruction already? How long after the NVC sent it to the embassy and was it sent to you thru email or mail? I'm scheduled for interview on the 30th and I fear that I will have to resched. thanks!

Hooray we were approved our visa today at the interview. Thank god. Ithe visa will be sent In about 10 days I was told. Got up really early around 5.00 to get ready. It was rainy today and silly me left my umbrella behind. Luckily when I got to the que there was a girl in front of me that was going for a visitors visa who was kind enough to share her umbrella with me.

The embassy was packed full of people all going for diffent visas. It's funny the k1 visa didn't move as quick as the other visas. AnY way after 40 mins of waiting I finally got called up to counter number 1. The lady was a nice Asian lady. She asked me for my interview letter and my number. Then asked me for my police cert and my 2 passport pics. Then my birth certificate. I gave her all of the stuff she asked. She then said where is your daughter. I had to explain again that she didn't come cos she won't be joining me till summer. So she said ok but make sure she joined you in the summer cos the K2 visa has a 1 year limit after that they won't allow her to join again. She said can I fill out the forms for her now so she can make a folder for her for when she comes to interview in June. Luckily I carried all the info of her school etc with me so was able to fill out the ds157 and 156. I handed it back to her and she then told m to put my finger on the screen for finger prints. After that was done she took my passport. And asked for my visa receipt of payment and the courier recipt. She took my passport of me then put it in somekind of plasticky see through folder then gave me my x-Ray film from my medical said I can keep that. She told me o go sit down and wait and someone will call me in for the interview. I sat down for another 15 minutes then my number flashed up on the screen I front again. I went to counter 16 and saw a lovely African American lady who proceeded to tell me to swear that everything was the truth. After I swore she asked me a few questions.

First was how did we meet

When did we meet

How did the relationship progress

Have I been to see him

Have I met his family

Where did we meet again

She kept trying to confuse me cos even though I told her Georgia she said a few times was that in Florida.

She asked when he proposed

When do I plan to go

Then after that she said I am happy to tell you your visa is approved. It will take about 10 days to be couriered to you. When you get the white plastic envelope inside there will be sealed envelope this is what you need to give them at the port of entry in Georgia . Congratulations and good luck with the future. She even printed out all the information that my daughter needs for when she has her interview I.e evidence she needs to bring.

That was my experience happy it is all over and done. On to the next phase which is finding ticket to fly in December it's been a journey I must say. All those still waiting don't worry they really are nice at the embassy and it's just a formality cos they already know they will be giving you a visa. If they didn't they would grill you with more questions. In my interview I never got many she just repeated the same ones twice.

Hope all waiting that filed in may have a good experience too. I will let you guys know once the visa arrives by courier. Thanks everyone for the support really appreciate it and am so glad I have been able to meet such nice people here on the visa journey site.smile.pngsmile.pngsmile.png

Yaahoooooo!!! We are all expecting it Nurseling!! Happy trip!! please keep us posted on your wedding! dancin5hr.gif

We are on the same boat. The USEM emailed me today informing me that they havent received the physical file but my interview is on Nov. 12. NVC said they sent my file October 7. Since they recevied the electronic file, i dont know why we cant proceed on the interview the fact that all they details they needed can be found on the electronic file.
