F2A filers waiting for CASE COMPLETION from NVC

[Ms. Matic 3]

Hi! Visa got approved today! Just want to share my interview experience!

*Stayed at Bayview Park Hotel overnight so it would be easy to make it to the interview this morning and I'd have a place to leave ALL of my gadgets/electronic devices (embassy across the street!). They allow late checkout till 1 PM free of charge. Every hour beyond is an additional 200 PHP.

1) Got to the Manila Embassy at about 5:30 AM and lined up in the 6:15 AM line.

2) Line started moving at about 6 AM and my interview letter and passport were checked. I was also given a 2GO shipping form to fill out for later. Make sure you don't have water or any electronic devices (phones, tabs, laptops, flash drives etc) on you. They will NOT let you in unless you throw them away or leave them outside with someone you're maybe with.

2) Let in and given a queuing number at about 6:30 AM. Numbers aren't in order, so you have to watch the numbers being flashed to know when it's your turn. Made me sooo sleepy just staring at the numbers hehe.

3) Queuing number flashed me to the Fingerprinting window #42 at about 8:30 AM. Quick and easy - just a few questions confirming name and birthday then fingers placed on the machine.

4) Queuing number flashed me to window #51 at about 10 AM. A Filipino interviewer asked me a long list of questions verifying things filled out in the application form that maybe lasted 5 min. She asked for an original copy of my joint sponsor AOS - For some reason they didn't have the one we submitted for the checklist. This was the only thing she asked me for. The interviewer was firm but pleasant. The other windows weren't as nice - from what I could overhear! Others were quite intimidating. It's best that you just answer confidently and straightforward here. Know really well what you put in your forms.

5) Queuing number flashed me to window #60 at about 11 AM. An American consul asked me a few questions that lasted maybe 3 min. She was firm and not exactly friendly. She kept a very straight face and smiled just once haha. (Baliktad ang experience ko - usually mas-nice ang American kaysa sa Filipino interviewer. )

*Asked me to recite oath.

*Asked for my name and the name of the petitioner.

*Asked if my husband and joint sponsor live in the same house.

*Asked when we met and how long we'd been together.

*Asked when we got married.

*Asked my husband's occupation.

*Asked what I plan to do for work.

*Asked where we will live.

*Asked to see photos of me and my husband.

6) Called to window #73 (number or name announced just once - so listen very carefully) at 11:30 AM where they confirmed everything was done and my visa would be delivered.

7) Immediately after I went to window #69 to submit and confirm the 2GO shipping form they had given me upon arrival.

All done! My CEAC already shows that my visa status is "Issued."

Good luck and God bless to everyone still in the petition process! All will be well, so no need to worry!

Hi! Visa got approved today! Just want to share my interview experience!

Hey Ms. Matic,

Thanks for sharing your experience. One question, what is Oath that you had to recite?

[LidiyaF2 3]

Ms. Matic Congratulations you!!!

everwaiting_sam

I think Oath is from a form ds-260:

I, the undersigned applicant for a United States immigrant visa, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that all statements which appear in this application have been made by me are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I do further swear (or affirm) that, if admitted to the United States, I will not engage in activities which would be prejudicial to the public interest, or endanger the welfare, safety, or security of the United States; in activities which would be prohibited by the laws of the United States relating to espionage, sabotage, public disorder, or in other activities subversive to the national security; in any activity the purpose of which is the opposition to or the control or overthrow of, the Government of the United States, by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.

We completed our case on Jan 28, I called NVC on the 30th and was told that case was completed on 28th. We received an email on Feb 4th confirming the case was complete and we have been instructed to wait until they contact us with details about the interview date and time. So for now, it's time to wait, without a specific timeframe in mind.

The oath is a statement that you have to read on the spot stating that everything say is the truth.

Hi Guys,

I've received an email from NVC this morning. What does it mean? Does it mean they will send my case over to Pakistan for the interview? Also does it mean all the documents i provided were all checked and are good to go?

Thanks ,

Khalil

Congrats! That's your case complete status email, meaning NVC has accepted the AOS and IV packages.

However, as stated, "The US Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of

the interview", so it is best to come prepared with evidence of bonafide relationship to the interview.

Hi Everyone,

I have a few questions about getting an F2a visa. My fiancee is a US green card holder (or lawful permanent resident if you prefer that). We got engaged just last december 2013. I came back home Jan 2014 since I just have a tourist visa. We've talked about it and considered getting married there in the US this year so that she could petition for me asap. Would that be legal? Is that the best legal move we can do? How long does it usually take for a petition to get approved? I would appreciate any answer.

Thank you!
