I called today to the US embassy in El salvador to check if I was allowed to be with my husband during the interview, they said that i can go with him but I won't be permitted to be with him during the interview because is just him and the CO. I don't know if is better to wait for him outside or go in with him. any comments?

The phone just rang. She gave the news I was waiting to hear. Visa approved. The interview itself was only about 2 minutes:

a. Who is calling you?

b. Love or arranaged marriage?

c. What does your husband do?

That's pretty much it.

The total time inside the consulate was less than 2 hours.

A huge thank you to everyone here at VJ. You have been like my very supportive family for almost the past year.

In particular I will be remiss if I do not mention Saylin, Kaylara, DWheels. You guys are awesome in everyway.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :luv::luv::luv:

Congrats!!!! My hubby's interview is tomorrow !!! Sooooooo excited!! :)

I'm wishing you so both end up with a wonderful day! :energy:

I just want to share my interview experience today! The immigration officer checked all my submitted documents and he said I think you are good. Then he asked me, "When and how did you meet your husband and where did you get married?" After I answered he said, ok we will send your visa within 2 weeks. I was like, "Sir I just want to clarify, is my visa approved?" He said, "Yes! We got everything we need and you submitted the complete documents!" I said, "Thank you sir!" and I left. Lol...

Visa Approved!!!! Yaaaaayyyy!!!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone here in VJ! Y'all are awesome! Thank you everyone for all the help and assistance! Special thanks to Saylin and Dwheels76!

Huge Congratulations to those who got case complete and those who got visa approvals!

Congratulations to you!! :dance::dance::dance:

I think you need to give it a day or two for the DHL to work. From what I remember reading is that it takes time for them to put the tracking info updated, plus sometimes it will take 1 day for them to actually send it too. But idk I'll have to figure out how to track my own whenever the time comes.

I like the peace and quiet of this thread versus NVC one. one can actually keep up without reading more than once per day and it feels nice and cozy here because people seem more relax (no more nvc checklist or onhold nerves) :P

Always double check your documents and forms. Not only do you get delayed by RFEs and Checklists, but the time it takes for them to review the new items you send could be used to approve more applications. Save yourself and others valuable time!

Current Status: NVC:
-Assigned and Received NVC Case Number, IIN, and BIN April 18, 2014. (100% sure case # was assigned today because I called twice and it wasn't assigned in the morning when they opened but in the afternoon it was)
*Could not provide email then as case was still being updated in their system
-On April 21, 2014 I was able to provide my email and beneficiary's.
-On April 28 I was able to fill out DS-261
-On April 29 I received and paid AOS Fee (at 1pm)
-On May 1 I received and paid IV Fee (at 1pm [became available]), also AOS Fee shows as PAID
-On May 5 IV Fee shows as PAID and DS-260 became available and was completed. Also, AOS Package Scanned by NVC

-On May 7 IV Package Scanned by NVC

-On May 28 AOS Accepted

-On June 2 IV Accepted/Case Complete

-On June 11 Interview Email Received

-On July 3 Interview at Moscow

Note: Medical Exam scheduled after interview letter received by calling the specific clinic, earliest appointment was 2 weeks ahead)

-Visa approved, came to us, got greencard, sadly things didnt go well and divorced. Last I hears she was still in the US and got a full greencard (I notified USCIS of divorce though)

My Status changed to In Transit today. I tried using the DHL tracking thing and found no results. Can any one help?

Ok! So I went to http://www.dhl-usa.com/en/express/tracking/shippers_reference.html

and I put in EXP 02 JUN 2014A with a range of may 30 till today June 4, plus Canada, and got ONE package that has already arrived in Montreal.

(I had also tried EXP 03 and EXP 04 and a few days earlier too, but nothing was found)

Now how do we know it's mine or if it's yours? Or are BOTH of ours in there :dance:
