September 2014 Interviews

[Jenny_USCIS 27]

So today was the day.

Got to the consulate this morning at 07:10, first received a number and then security. After that I proceed to another building with a big room with several counters.

First I had to go to a reception were the provide a sheet of the different stations and told me to go to the first counter (22) they collected my passport there and asked for the print out of the ustraveldoc side with the registered address for the IV package.

Then they told me to wait to be called for the next counter (either 21 or 20).

After a short time they called my number and took my fingerprints and went thru the details (needed to change our US address since we just moved last week). Then they handed over some information about SSN, the condition green card and the domestic violence brochure.

After that I waited for the interview with the vice consul.

Which called me shortly after. He took my oath and another scan of my fingers and then started the interview.

-Where did you meet your spouse?

-Where was he working then?

-Does his family live there?

-Where will we live now?

-Then specific questions to a picture we provide:

Where was it taken and why did you wear helmets?

Then he handed me over the originals and said that everything is fine and he approves the visa.

I asked how long it will take to get it back since I am flying on Monday and he said that the visa will be issued either today or tomorrow morning and then goes straight into the mail.

I should have it on hand either Thursday or Friday will see.

Visa was issued then later today as he said.

Thanks so much for all the help here and good luck to everyone still waiting, it soon will be other.....

Before the interview i got a piece of paper with instruction how to pay immigrant fee (in english and polish) with my names, case number and registration number. Lady - the one organizing NVC package - explained me how to use it.

Surprised that not every embassy provide this kind of instruction.

We got NO instructions - no sheet of info, no "go to this website" from Sydney, Australia. I'm so thankful for this list - I knew where to go to pay it!!!

My spouse has now been in the US for 35 days. No Green Card yet.

I called many times before my case complete, all they told me was 'please wait 30 business days, then 60 days, blah blah blah..." lol :bonk:

I think my husband should get into September interview cause when I check the GUZ embassy website, they still have some august open....but I'm just guesstimating... haha :whistle:

Ours was scheduled two days after interview but then we got an earlier date when the embassy received our case and we requested it.

Well they won't tell you 30 business days like before when you call!

Hi everyone,

New to this thread! Hoping for SOME guidance if any of you have it. My husband and I were recently approved for expedited processing through NVC. The Sydney consulate approved this request last week and our case and all files attached were sent to the consulate. We had already submitted and paid all fees pertaining to AOS and IV and DS260. Just yesterday my husband received a 'Packet 3' email from the consulate. I keep getting mixed answers from different forums and have not been able to locate correct information on here yet. The Packet is requesting original birth certificates, marriage certificates, and also to fill out the DS230 Part 1 and 2. I'm so lost as to what we need to send them to continue. We have already submitted our original documents to NVC, if we have to request them again, it is going to prolong this even further which would eliminate the need for the expedite. Any suggestions or help?

I think that is old automatic E-mail ,,, because there is no DS230 ,, now is online DS260,,,

my advice just relax and forget about it .. and go to the interview...

Does anyone know how many MMR shots are required? My wife is 28 and they gave her 1 dose and told her to come back one month later(after interview) if she's still around for 2nd dose. Can she get this in the US or will she have an issue at POE.

Got our interview scheduling email on the 15th - my interview is in Montreal a month from today - Sept 19! Flights booked and registered for Loomis, now working on scheduling medical etc. (And all of this from hotel rooms across the country on our amazing road trip adventure! I can't believe I'm not at home madly printing everything!

Keeps me from being too obsessed I guess!

Since your case file (which includes your IV packet originals) is already at the Consulate and you already submitted DS-260 online, you're good to go as is, unless you have a pending checklist or you have additional information or corrections to known mistakes. Remember that NVC didn't get a chance to check the completeness and correctness of your submissions. Best of luck!
