Hello Everyone.

My husband filed the petition on August 2012. We didn't hear anything from uscis until December of 2012.

I live in the uk so I visited him whilst waiting for the petition.

Still heard nothing from USCIS.

on July 2013 we received a letter from USCIS that our case is approved and passed onto nvc.

From September 2013 until february 2013 we kept on sending any additional documents.

In march nvc scheduled the interview with the us embassy in London for April 30th.

Arrived in the embassy with my two young children. Waited for about 4 hours to be seen my the CO.

CO oNly asked me two questions like how dis yu meet and where the children born before or after the marriage. Told her im they were ofc born AFTER THE MARRIAGE.

CO gave me form 221g and asked for my affidavit of birth.

Submitted the affidavit & the passports on 8th of May and nvc informed that the documents and passports were received on the 9th of May.

I kept on checking caec every day for more than 5 times. Status kept on changing from AP-Ready-AP.

On Wednesday 21st of May at 3.30 uk time, caec changed to ISSUED :)

Today (23 of May 14), dx secure delivered the oasppirts along with the packets for POE officer.

My advice: be patient. Pray a lot. Visit your loved one as much as time will allow you. At the end, if you were meant to eat an American food, you will :) quote from my mother!

Sorry I meant September 2013 to February 2014
