They received ours around March 2012 and my fiancé had his interview in August 2012. So, for us it took about 5 months. You may get yours sooner though. I think it just depends on how many petitions they are getting in. They told us they were overloaded and they would grant him an interview as soon as they could. Good luck

Our case was send to the embassy on the 29th of April and we received an e-mail from the embassy on the 13th of May with the appointment date, medical instruction, and packet 3 (all the forms) that needed to be filled out and taken to the interview. His interview was on the 29th of May. we are now on AP and waiting.

Hello Elizabeth,

I also had to send the original signed form to my fiance, but I realized it before the interview and was able to send it to him through DHL .... My fiance also had his interview on the 29th of May? But we were placed on AP. Was wondering if your fiance was also place of AP or not.. because they told my fiance that all males were being placed on AP...

Thanks
