Puru444!!!!

Oh my goodness! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Thank you so much for being so detailed.

Dont worry its not that late? Have faith and dnt lose hope, I dont see any reasonto not move up to 08Jan 09 this time. It will be only two weeks movement all you need, do you really think its not possible at this time especially when there is a fresh quota will be distributed for the new fiscal year 2016.

Some people receive interview letters early and some receive late, its all about timing. There are many cases I have seen over the years who receive interview letter after visa bulletin issued date around 15-18.

I pray for your daughter, inshallah she will be through smoothly. I understand your situation, please be calm and have faith. Everything will be fine very soon.

Thanks for all the hope. Please visit me when you are in USA.

My Interview was scheduled for 9 AM.

I reached there at 8 and was sitting inside the chamber by 8.15 and waiting for my turn patiently. There was a huge crowd waiting already inside the Immigrant section and the staff was serving the people on first come first serve basis.

At 9.30 AM, I was called on the window for fingerprints verification, and they issued me a token no. to wait for my turn for further processes.

At 10.00 AM, my token no. was displayed on the screen and there was an Indian Lady behind the window and she asked me following questions:

1. Who calls me?

2. What he does?

3. Is he the citizen now? If yes, then please provide me the photocopy of his naturalization certificate.

I did follow everything whatever she said and then she took my passport and told me to wait for next call and consular officer will take the final round of interview with me.

At 11.15 AM, I was called by an American Consular Officer. She asked me to raise my hand and take an oath and then she asked me the following questions:

1. Who calls you?

2. Where does he live?

3. What does he do for living?

4. When did he go to US?

5. How did he go to US?

6. Where does he work?

7. Are your parents still married? Are they living together?

8. How old are you now? Are you married?

9. What will you do when you go there?

10. What do you do now?

11. Where is your mother right now?

12. Is your father a US citizen now?

Then, she examines every document carefully and told me to have a seat, I will call you shortly. This time I was surprised because I was the only one who was asked to sit and wait during the final round, otherwise everyone was through during the last stage.

Anyway, I was waiting for my turn yet again. I could see her discussing my case with her fellow colleague and their reactions were negative. She was not at all convinced with some point and I couldnt heard her from 20 feet away but her facial reactions were not good. I was tensed and confused all this time and I had no idea what is wrong with my case. Meanwhile, I was scanning every single document carefully and try to figure it out what's stopping them to issue me a visa.

At 1.00 PM, an Indian Lady calls my name from different window. She was holding my passport and I was scared to hell when I saw my passport in her hands. She called me up and said: Sorry sir we cant grant you the visa this time, since your father is Citizen now, hence your case has been treated as an F1 it is not at all classified under F2B. Sir, here's your passport, sorry we cant help you with this case any more and you will be notified soon by us for next steps.

That was a moment, when I laughed in my mind and relieved a bit. Then, I told her everything about this CSPA Section-6 and told her my story that how did I gained this Opt-out approval notice from DHS last month from USCIS Field Office Delhi Embassy itself. She asked me to show her the original copy, I gave her that piece of gold immediately. She did read the whole stuff thoroughly and nod her head and told me to wait while she goes to discuss this matter with that american consular officer.

At 1.30 PM, I was called on the same window and that american lady said this one and last sentence to me:

Congratulations Sir, you visa has been approved!!

And then finally after so many hours of intense drama and panic situation. I came out laughing out loud and hugged my mom and celebrate the moment.

I checked my status on ceac.state, and it shows "Issued". I just hope that I will receive my passport before saturday so that I could go with my mom on 6th late night.

In short, my case wasn't at all a piece of cake like others. In fact, it was a roller coaster ride for more than 5 longest hours of my life with full of tension and stress. But, in the end it all went well. Thank you all for your support and wishes, I am really thankful to my god today. He saved me today seriously.

Oh wow!! This was indeed a very serious interview. But now its all over and there's only celebration for you Puru!!! Welcome to the USA!!! Happy that you will be with your loved ones soon.. Do let me know, Im at California, would love to meet you & ur family.

Dear Puru and Chubbs,

I am curious, why did you send your AOS and IV packages before paying your IV fees? My understanding from reading the nvc.travel.gov website is that all fees (AOS & IV fees) must be paid prior to sending AOS & IV documents to the NVC. Thank you in advance for your response.

By the way, everyone, I got some updates... My father (petitioner) called NVC a few days ago and was told that NVC was waiting to receive the Choice of Agent forms so my brothers went online and submitted them. At the same time, my father paid the AOS fees for both of my brothers; however, the IV fees are not invoiced and you cannot even click on the payment box. It won't allow you.
My father called NVC again and was told that the IV fees will be invoiced only after NVC receives the COA forms and that this could take up to 42 business days.

My brothers' visa category is F2B and their priority date is September 24, 2009 for those that would like to know.

Thank you so much limenita for ur good wishes, I wish to cya soon there.

I am glad that ur brothers cases have started finally. Now, just wait for few days and NVC will contact at every step and instruct you wisely. You must pay the AOS fees by now, and start gathering all the financial documents which required in your case. Send that AOS package right away dont wait for IV process. They both are different process and dont have any dependency on each other.

You should not ge worried about IV package right now, this is the time to complete the AOS formalities first. IV process usually starts at later stage. Meanwhile, complete all the paperwork with AOS and the AOS package asap.
