We have an interview date: August 20th 11am. New Delhi Embassy. Traveling from Bhutan to New Delhi for the medical and interview all in the same trip was difficult due to the interview dates available at such short notice so we decided to break it into two trips. Went for medical exam July 24th and scheduled interview once that was complete.

I'm jealous of all the filers who are able to be with their partner so soon after approval. But it feels good to hear everyone's story and seeing this dream finally becoming reality. We are waiting for approval before handing in a 30 day resignation with her employer and will target flights for that time frame. So looking like late September, early October for us.

Thank you for all those sharing your stories and keeping us posted with your updates. It's somewhat therapeutic to have this forum and read everyone's experiences.

Not sure if you know this; ALL petitions are posted/sent/mailed to Texas. This is not the service centre your petition stays at. The NOA1 will state SRC or CSC and this is NOT a transfer. If you wer

POE date will hopefully be sometime next week and Wedding date will be October 11th :)

From what I noticed, whenever your status date is updated the first time while on AP, it means they have received your documents. Every time they work on your case, your status date will update. If they are satisfied with what you sent, your status will change to Ready. Once your case has been approved by a CO, your case creation date will change to the current date and the type will change from Immigrant to Nonimmigrant. This is a good sign :) Then your status will change back to AP for a brief period (a few hours to a day or so) then turn to Issued.

I am so ready to be done with this part of our journey! It has been 6 months since we've seen each other! At least he will be here for AOS and we can go through that together. :)

No, Visa is not in hand yet, but hoping for Mon or Tues.

I only emailed the Consulate twice throughout this whole thing. First was July 11th after our case had been "touched" with no status change to Ready which is when they emailed me back about needing the financial stuff. Then the 2nd time was August 11th for a status check. The reply was very nice. They said they are working to process as fast as possible. THEN, the very next day after that email reply, our visa was Issued...coincidence? I don't know. I am glad I emailed them on Monday though regardless :)
