Interview scheduled! November 21st. The Friday before Thanksgiving week isn't exactly the stuff dreams are made of, but I suppose I should be thankful we finally have an interview date.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of fee due at the time of the interview at the consulate? We have obviously paid our IV and AOS fees to NVC, but I need to know how much $$ to bring to the interview. Thanks!

My timeline for NVC processing:

May 4, 2014 Submitted DS261

May 7, 2014 Paid AOS fee

May 12, 2014 Received an email confirming that my DS261 (agent registration) form has been processed

May 15, 2014 Paid IV fee

Last scan date: July 22, 2014 NVC received my IV and AOS packages (mailed together), date confirmed in the email on Aug 5, which also told me that it will take at least 60 days to process

July 25, 2014: Submitted DS260

August 6, 2014 Requested an expedite

August 8, 2014 Got an email from NVCExpedite asking for two phone numbers

August 8, 2014 Responded with two phone numbers

August 15, 2014 Received an email from NVCExpedite which states: "The US Embassy or Consulate is willing to expedite this case once we have all the fees, forms, and documents. We received documents for your case. Please allow 60 days for us to review your documents."

August 15, 2014 Called NVC, the rep told my husband that while the Embassy has agreed to expedite my case, NVC will still take at least 60 days. The reason that NVC cannot do it any faster is because they cannot sort through all the mail to locate my case.

September 16, 2014 Got a checklist for a divorce decree, the original of which I submitted. They said it needs to have a stamp, even though it was issued by a US judge, whose office confirmed that their original decrees do not have stamps. [/background][/size][/font][/color]

September 29, 2014 Mailed a copy of the decree with a certification and stamp attached to it. The judge's office in Lancaster county, Nebraska, said that this is how they certify their documents. They still do not put stamps on originals or copies themselves.

October 2, 2014 Checklist scan date

October 17, 2014 AOS fee changed from "paid" to N/A

October 20, 2014 Case complete confirmed by calling NVC.

I had the interview yesterday. The whole experience took like 25-30 minutes. First in the embassy they got me through metal detector and checked all I was carrying, after that they sent me in the building where I was having the interview, a nice lady asked for my passport, for my renewed police certificate, the TNT confirmation (this is only for Romania) and all the proofs of relationship. This took like maximum 5 minutes. After the CO called my name, took my fingerprints and my oath. The consul asked me how we met, how many times my husband visited me and when we married. And that was all! He said "Congratulations, your visa is approved! You can pick it up on monday. Welcome to America!" On the website it showed ISSUED in less than an hour after the interview. I am so happy!!!! POE is on Boston on the 7th Nov. Yaaaaay!!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!! :dancing:(L):dancing: :joy: :dancing:

Originally, NVC gave me an interview date for 25 november but I contacted the embassy via email and I asked nicely for an earlier date and they gave me a date for 29th october. Whenever you see on CEAC website READY contact the embassy for an earlier date and they will help you. The staff is amazing!!!
