So 23 Dec on CEAC website says 'Ready' ..Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

We were curious as to appointment dates so we called to find out if the local embassy received our petition and when it should be expected to hear from them.

The representative helped me through the process of obtaining the deposit slip to pay in the bank in which I have to pay and then choose an appointment.

I was a bit worried if we were not required to do so at this time as we haven't made initial contact with the local embassy nor the beneficiary received any additional forms.

The representative assured me this is a good move as there may be back up over the holiday and there may be some delay.

So my question is what next?

Hello Hello!

here is an update on me and Mohamed's journey:

We filled out the DS-160 sometime during the week before Christmas.

I e-mailed the Tunis embassy December 22 and I got no reply.

So, on January 2 I e-mailed the embassy again and the next day they replied.

After some confusion we finally received an e-mail with our interview date.

Our interview will be on January 30, 10 AM @ the Tunis Embassy.

***

I wish you all luck :-)

If you would like to chat I answer better via personal messages!

Happy New Year to all Sep 2013 filers...I hope all of the filers (except me) are now approved at the USCIS office and in the process of interview or being here in the US making arrangements for your weeding! Perhaps, some of you are already wedded and congrats!

I, on the other hand, am denied as I had a waiver request of meeting my fiance for solid reasons. I am still waiting the final letter but I do qualify now to reapply once my initial case is closed. I will jump wagon into the the Jan/Feb filers of this year.

Congratulations!

Michelle had her medical exam this morning, everything went off without a hitch. Unfortunately, we've had some trouble getting all her documents together in time for her interview. She has a proxy back in the Philippines who is sending her the NBI, but it won't get to Kuwait until sometime after the 17th. He promised it would be there sooner, but it seems unlikely. Her interview is supposed to be on the 15th.

We've just sent an email to the embassy to see whether she can still do her interview on the 15th and bring the NBI in when it arrives, or whether she has to reschedule entirely. I'm certain it's the second one, but it doesn't hurt to ask... It'll be a bit of a bummer if she has to reschedule, but she's not planning to leave Kuwait until the end of March anyway, so even if the interview gets pushed back a few days or weeks, it shouldn't change our overall timeline.

Congrats!!! We have our interview date on Feb. 18th as we had to push it back a couple weeks as we need time to plan for the interview(paperwork and all). We just saw each other during the new year so the 5 weeks wait won't be too bad. This process has moved so fast!!!
