Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

So my husband had his interview this morning and he was approved!!! We are so overjoyed!!!

The CO he had was very nice and asked only a few questions. When and where did we meet, what we both do for a living, and why he want to move to the U.S. He was not asked for 2013 transcripts but he offered to submit them anyway. Because I am living with him in Israel, only the Joint Sponsor's 2013 tax transcripts were taken. They did not want or need mine. They gave him back the originals and told him he will receive his passport in a couple of weeks.

I'm so happy to have had the support of VJ throughout this long 15 month process. I wish all of you the very best of luck in your upcoming interviews and afterwards!

Got Interview letter for a July 3 interview!

That's pretty early. Practically 3 weeks from now! its cool i didnt have to wait for an interview after case complete in June!

So far everything has been going perfect so hopefully interview will too :)

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)

You can do either. Paying later, however, would delay you getting your physical GC by weeks (temp GC you'll get at the POE). If you've got the funds now, pay it and be done with it, unless you have a definite reason to expect outstanding issues at POE.

Had my interview today............

It went well but then not a gud news though......... :(

CO asked my few questions and asked me to show the wedding album.... then he asked me to wait for sometime and go back to my seat in waiting area......

Then one gal called my name on the other window and asked me to provide some details on the paper (sibling name, previous passport number, countries that i visited , previous addresses and my occupation). I wrote down the details and gave my DS260 for previous addresses. Then she handed over my AP letter :(.

When i asked what do you guys need, she replied CO has asked for this information and thats all that they need. Then she asked me to check status on ceac website.

I don't know what was wrong.... i worked in 2 different countries and submitted original police report from that countries as well. Other 2 countries was just for tourism purpose.

Now when i am checking the status on CEAC website and it shows updated date for today but status is still "READY".... :(

Any idea guyssssssssssss????????

The darn AP!!! I hope it would be a quick turnaround for you. I had it on two successive non-IV applications myself, and I didn't do anything wrong then either. On one occasion, they asked for all the names and birthdates of my siblings (I do have a common name, and it helped that my parents were very productive LOL). A month after they asked for this information they issued my visa. Pray it won't take longer than that, but do brace yourself for a longer wait and plan your immediate future accordingly.

Any reason that they would ask for a list of where you lived and names of siblings at this stage? Isn't this all info that's submitted to USCIS originally?
