Hi Soloenta! :luv:

You enter your profle, click on edit my profile, click on signature on the left menu.

On the text box, there is a formating menu, click on the third button (it says Special BBcode), select spoiler, and paste the text ;)

An easier way to do it: Write whatever you want to be in the spoiler like this:

(spoiler) insert your text (/spoiler) , but replace the parenthesis for brackets -> [] :yes::)

:) Thank you so much Alejandreska your so sweet, how kind of you to take the time to explain it to me. :D(F) (L) (F)

Thank you Sukie and I really hope you are correct.

I guess I am just concerned about how sometimes they put cases under AP review. I have read stories here on VJ where everything goes fine even the interview is approved but the people dont get their passports for 3-6 months. In those cases they get 221g letter (i guess thats what its called) where they tell them that they need to do futher processing. In my parents cases they didnt give them anything so ...... it seems like a good sign and the fact that CO himself said that both the passports and visa will be issued within 20 days.

Did you by any chance check the visa status after the interview? Was there any change in status?

Thanks

I have read many times that if they take your passport you have your Visa and if they give it back you DO NOT HAVE VISA so I would say, CONGRATULATIONS I'M SO VERY, VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I'm so happy for you and your parents. :D:dance: :dance: :yes: :dance: :dance:

My visa status changed to "Issued"!!! But I wasn't able to check until I got home from Sydney. I also got a letter from the Consulate saying that the visa had been printed.

G'day everyone.

Had a quick read but can't find what I need.

Where am I going to fill out the DS-261???? I have all of the necessary numbers to do this but can't figure out where to log in to.

Did you read Saylin's Wiki? It's on the first page and if you click on the first link in her post I think or second one it will answer pretty much all your questions and you will find the link to fill out the DS-261, did you pay the AOS fees if not they wont be available. Good luck to you and welcome to the Thread. :D.

Actually, it seems that in Pakistan (maybe other places as well), the Consulate would keep the passport when the case is put on AP for weeks or months. They have no business doing that unless they question the authenticity of the passport. Either way, the applicant has no choice but to accept, wait, and wait some more.

:cry:Oh I had no clue about that I know that in Egypt they return the passport at the interview if they aren't going to send the

Visa soon. I don't understand why they give them so much power. :(

Thank you Soloenta. I hope its moving in the right direction just like ou mentioned. The CO actually said within 2 weeks. I just cofirmed with my mother. She told me that she asked the CO twice whether he meant 20 or 15 days and he said within 15 days so ...... I really hope to see two passports with two visa within 2 weeks.

Sukie

Hmmmm ok ok. I guess I am just being too impatient. I need to give couple of days to see any change in status. Also soncsidering tomorrow is July 4th, all the consulates will be closed and the people will be off so it may take couple of days for them to update the status. I just hope within 2 weeks means less than 2 weeks.

Did you read Saylin's Wiki? It's on the first page and if you click on the first link in her post I think or second one it will answer pretty much all your questions and you will find the link to fill out the DS-261, did you pay the AOS fees if not they wont be available. Good luck to you and welcome to the Thread. :D.
