Hey!!

Finally its good news friends!! Just saw online, my son's visa status shows "ISSUED". I had been tracking it since daybreak in India and at about 8.30 am India time, there was a change in the date from 27 July to 31 July and thats when they were updating his file I guess. At 12.45 pm the "Administrative Processing" changed to "Issued".

Congrats chubbs! That is really good news and I am glad that it is finally over for you guys.

Can you let us know what documents they took and checked during interview and if there are any relationship related questions as to where is your mother now, what does she do in USA, or how did she go to USA etc?

Though not related - I don't see anywhere that one has to submit or carry I-130 approval notice(from USCIS) during this process with NVC or consulate. Am I overlooking something?

Guys,

Please suggest me with this. My mom is with me here and she came in month of May and as I was expecting my interview in July or August but unfortunately as it got late by a month. My mom has a return flight on 7th Sep 15 and my interview is scheduled on 01 Sep 15.

So, can anybody tell me that how long does it take to print the visa after the interview and how soon I can pick up my passport?? Can I book the tickets for 7th Sep 15 or should I book 10 days after the interview i.e. 10 Sep 15 or onwards??

Any advice.

Hey thanks Puru. I think it would be okay for you to book your tickets for 7 sept. Who sponsored you? was it mom or dad?

Im asking this coz just in case they ask any documents like they did in my sons case, you should be able to drop it off almost immediately. So have someone wait outside with every relevant document. Coz the officer does ask if you can simply bring it within a couple of hours. If thats possible then they issue the visa almost immediately. If all goes well, you should have your PP within 3-5 days after interview

Puru,

Congratulations

i thought they do not give interview date until your proority date is current. Your priority date is December 17, 2008 abd August 2015 visa bulletin has priority date of November 15, 2008 current.

Yours is more than 4 weeks away.

My daughter date is January 04, 2009. When should I expect interview letter.

It is not advisable to book tickets before getting the visa. But I would suggest you dont make your tickets but wait till 5th Sept for your Passport with Visa, and then reschedule your moms flight by few days as per your need.

My brother was on F1 and then H1 for total 7 yrs and he came to India to give the GC interview, still his approval took about 3 Months after the Interview, so he had to keep on rescheduling the tickets 3 times by one month every time and lose money. But you never know the delay it can be more or less.

Good thinking. Given the situation that puru with the pd of Dec. 17, 2008 has been scheduled his interview on Sep. 1, 2015, I can say for sure that September visa bulletin will jump from Nov. 15, 2008 to Dec. 18, 2008 but I don't know if it will cover the 14 days remaining of December or not. I guess you will be scheduled your interview in October when October visa bulletin is published in September. And I think you will get the notification of your interview letter in late August.

Hamida please keep us posted in the future about the interview date of your nephew whose pd is March 4, 2009. With the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year, I assume and hope that visa bulletin moves at a faster pace. thanks

Thanks Hamida!!

It is confirmed that it will move up to 22 dec 08 bcoz my date is 17 dec 08. But, I think they will move 1.5 month this time and the date might be reach up to 01 Jan 09. But, anyhow you just relax urself bcoz it will definitely cover ur daughter's pd in october's bulletin for sure.

Dont worry everything will be fine with your daughter. Cheer up and stay calm!! Best of luck for future.
