Unfortunately guys I think we were all very very spoiled by seeing a few early approvals. We should be more realistic here and expect a 5 month wait period.. It has already been a month since my NOA1

Sent our petition on the last day of October with USPS and it arrived on 1st Nov! (according to USPS) so I guess that makes us November filers! didn't see a topic for November yet (I did try searchi

It was our choice date of POE.. We were not on a rush petition, but it just happened that our petition worked so fast unexpectedly.

Hey congrats dancin5hr.gif

Please share your interview experience

My interview experienced was awesome, its very easy really. All questions was all about ur relationship,if u know everything u shouldn't worry.. Med exam is more scary than interview bcoz at interview they will just verified and validate all ur docs unlike in med exam if they sees anything not good they will refer u in a doctor and reschedule ur interview. Just stay positive ;)
