Hi everyone! Happy new year!!

Im preparing for my interview but i realized that my "casier judiciaire" is from august is it okay? Also what do you bring to the interview ? i just have the email with instructions in portugese french etc and thats it, i am missing something? Thanks

Hey there!

 

It's better to have a recent "casier judiciaire" (3 months old top), but a friend of mine got interviewed in December with a "casier judiciaire" dated July 2016 and everything went fine. But maybe she got lucky, I don't know... If I were you I would try to ask for a new "casier judiciaire" before my interview.

 

As for the documents you need to bring with you, just follow the instructions you got in your email and everything should be just fine!

 

Good luck

I have a question, my fiancée has received an email from Paris IV Pending address telling us that they "have received an approved petition in support of your immigrant visa application"

That was the 4th of January. since then I have not received anything in the mail. Is it normal? can I schedule the appointment or do I need the letter to go to the appointment? 

 

Thanks for your answers

Hi everyone!
I have been very busy lately, I finally moved to the US and got married and... We had even more paperwork to do, with the adjustment of status.
I have an advice for y'all: Do not expect everything to be easy, once you get approved and you move here. Although it's not very hard to complete... It's a pain in the a** to fill everything up. Lol.
So, first of all, congrats to everyone who got approved!!

Do not expect anything in the mail. More than likely, the thing you are going to get is an email and it will be sent to the US Citizen. Make sure that you both check the spam inbox too.
But, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do now... Except waiting. At least I think so. The embassy, in our case, got in on August 19th or 23rd (we had two different information), and we got the email from them on September 6th.
Do not schedule anything right now anyway. You want to make sure nothing gets messed up. I think you will not even be able to, since on the email they send you, they will give you a link with something to fill and it will give you a number that you need to schedule your appointment, if I remember well.
I really hope you get it soon. We all know how hard it is, when you're waiting and you want to do stuff but you can't.

Congratulations on the wedding and the move ! 

You are talking about an email to the US citizen and that's the one we got with the link to complete the DS160 and then create an account on the appointment website. I have done all of that. 

I was wondering if on top of the email that tells us to schedule the interview I needed a letter in the mail also. 

so that's great news! 

 

I've just been to the appointment website and there are no available appointments... I can't even pay for the fee because of this. 

I guess I just have to wait for spots to open. Anyone seen that before?

Oh! Well that's perfect then, you don't have to worry about getting a new letter... Apparently they did send one before, and they still do it in some countries, so I guess that's the reason why this information is not updated anywhere.

I had available appointments 4 to 5 weeks later, from the day I scheduled it. 
How far did you go in the system? As far as possible?
