:joy: Alright COLOMBIA. Now Hubby is coming home. Congratulations. :dance:

I really can't answer your question about can you go in embassy. Your country portal page has no consular information. I would suggest asking this country in your countries forum. Also have you gone through the 40 interview reviews? There may be information there also.

You are almost done.

I will do that, thank you for advice.

Guys finally my visa is issued. In fact I was handed it today along with the yellow envelope at the embassy today. Thank you Dwheels76 and Saylin. If people read my post I had gone for my Interview on the 8th of the month. My visa category is IB1 (VAWA). The CO interviewed me and after the Interview handed over a white slip with the box ticked administrative processing. She also returned my passport. However yesterday my status changed to Issued. Minutes later I got a call from the embassy to come there with my passport. I was at the embassy today and the person asked me to wait for 10 minutes. Finally he called my name and gave me my passport with the visa and the yellow paper. I am so happy and thankful to god that my ordeal is coming to an end. I want to thank everyone here and the site. Thank you

Yaaaah....Huge congratulations. Now time to buy the ticket. Can you post your experience of the embassy, please?

Congratulations. Now some sub-titles please!!! :)

As an update: My husband just called me after his interview at Mumbai. He received 221g slip for an I-864a for my mom to complete (Dad is co-sponsor). Annoyed because NVC told me no need for the I-864a when I spoke to them several times. They took his PCC & Dad's updated I-864 as requested from our NVC case complete letter. CO told him his interview went well, and that he would not need to come back for another interview, but to just return with the missing document & his passport. So approved pending receipt of the missing document I guess?

What should his status in CEAC be? I'll be searching for other people's experience with returning 221g requested documents to see how long of a time frame we might be looking at. Anyone have any info on it?

Thanks All, I will post his complete review once we get the missing form all sorted out.

Hi Jilly: Does he need an appointment to go in with the I-864A and the passport? Or does he just wall-in? Hope he gets his visa very quickly. Also, please share his interview experience there.

I am sure you know it but thought I will mention it since it occurred to me. Make sure you include Mom's W2, employment letter, pay stubs etc. along with her I-864A.

Ok, been reading through the Embassy reviews, when I started reading I remembered that I had read some of them before but it was a long time ago, reading them again had new meaning now that I am closer, in the past it seemed like a far away goal. It does answer the question about IF I will be allowed in, and after reading several they all attended the interview but only one person allowed in the following day to pick up the visa.

Reading the reviews did raise another question, many people say they ask for documents original documents, I have already sent my original documents to the NVC and I understand that they will forward to the Consular office for interview, I'm a little confused by that- I only have copies of what I sent in at this point. any thoughts on that? do you think I should start gathering NEW originals ?? I think not that was quite a task--

other than that I don't think I have any other questions at this time- - I appreciate your input.

thanks

Yes, we have included all as per the I-864a instructions. She does not have employment letter but we have done 6mos previous paystubs, W2s and corresponding tax transcripts along with birth cert, drivers license and marriage certificate to prove relationship to my father, the co-sponsor with I-864 to her I-864a.

Hubby does not need appointment to turn in the documents, just says to turn in as soon as possible. So he will submit it as soon as FedEX delivers it. :-) I'm going to post the interview review as soon as this part is complete so I can do it all at once.

Once in a while you do read someone being asked that don't know if the originals were lost or what. Its a toss up because they should have everything submitted to NVC and they know we don't have extra originals so don't know why they do that. Just bring the copies I say.

Glad reading the reviews refreshed your mind. Thats good. Getting close each day. YAY!!

I'm going to have my husband bring updated I-864's + W2's with him to the interview so it includes 2013. For anyone else doing it too, are you going to include more recent pay-stubs?
