November 2014 Interviews

[Cathymac 60]

A very happy status update: My wife's visa was approved at her interview this morning in London.

I will write up a more detailed review later but here is the quick version:

I went with her to the embassy but I did not go in. We arrived around 7:15am. I waited at a coffee shop around the corner. Everyone at the embassy was friendly and helpful. She was inside in under 15 minutes. She waited 15 minutes for her number to be called, then spent about 15/20 minutes at the first window going over her documents and answering some questions. There was another 15 minute wait before the actual interview at the second window. The interview took only 5 minutes and she was asked only three questions:

- How long have you been married?

- Where is your husband now?

- What do you plan to do after you arrive in the USA?

Then the agent said she was approved.

All in all, she was out of there and back with me in an hour and a half.

One thing to note is they didn't want to take my updated I-864. I moved on October 1st and was hoping they would take a new one with my new address. They would have none of that! I guess I will need to file the paperwork with USCIS to let them know of my change of address?

Around the time the agent mentioned the words "approved", the CEAC case status changed to "Administrative Processing."

We filed the I-130 almost 14 months ago. It feels like an eternity. I can't say I enjoyed all the uncertainty and waiting of this past year. I'm thrilled to have all of that now behind us!

Congratulations and thanks for the update. I'm getting nervous about mine but I've got all my papers ready. Good to know how long it takes so I can plan getting home

Hey all I was just wondering when to expect to get my interview scheduled? Got the expedite process approved on oct 28 and ceac status said ''in transit'' first and since yesterday ''ready'' . Anybody knows about the expedite process? US embassy in Frankfurt in Germany. Oh can I also go ahead and do the medical.

Help and advices much appreciated.

TIA

If it says both ready, and current processing site is the embassy in your country on ceac then I would start trying to communicate with the embassy! Most require you to send an online inquiry or email so go ahead and do that! If there is any way to phone I would do that too. I don't know for sure because I did not get an expedite but this is what I understand from other posts I have seen. And it doesn't hurt to try!

I am flying to Montreal on Sunday too! Maybe we'll bump into one another I will be scouting out the location of the embassy Sunday evening - My interview is Monday! Good luck with everything. I opted to just go with my regional police cert as well since the box was checked that there was no match on the RCMP database. Hopefully fine! I did get an email requesting a couple things (petitioners birth cert, kids' citizenship proof), but no request for a new police cert.

That would be crazy, what a small world! We are flying Westjet and our medical is Monday the same day as your interview. Please pretty please post a review of your experience I would love to read it before our interview Friday.

Woohoo.the weather will be nice.and it will be fun.if you haven't been beforedefinitely check out the St josef oratory and walk up mont royal mountain.it will be LOADS of fun...

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to check those out. I am crossing my fingers and toes that the nice weather holds out just a little bit longer, here in Winnipeg we have had light flurries but so far nothing has stuck and today the weather is beautiful.

Your interview is on Nov 7th! Mine is on Nov 10th (next business day)!

Please make sure to "Submit Reivew" (next to your interview date on your timeline) so I can review it before my interview! LOL!

Yes Austin I'll be sure to post our review, good or bad (but hopefully good). Good luck on yours as well, I'm sure everything will go just fine.

That's weird I typed a reply to target November but it didn't post

I am grateful the nice weather is holding up,thanks for the tips!

[JeffNJazz 55]

That's weird I typed a reply to TargetNovember but it did not post. (hopefully this does not double post)

I am grateful for the nice weather we have been having and I'm looking forward to our time in Montreal, it will be a nice break. Thanks for the tips on what to do, sounds way better than sitting in the room for a week worrying myself sick about the interview!

what do you mean with both ready? ceac says Frankfurt, and visa application status says ready

Thank you I will email them monday so I can do my medical already right? I thought I have to have the interview letter to do that?

We filed the I-130 almost 14 months ago. It feels like an eternity. I can't say I enjoyed all the uncertainty and waiting of this past year. I'm thrilled to have all of that now behind us!

Awww awesome news. So happy for you.

Congrats! 10AM sounds great! Mine is 9:30AM (and I'm not a morning person)!

Finally we have a date December 2nd .

Came on board this thread on the last day! Had CC yesterday Oct 30!!! Now hoping for an interview soon in Sydney! Already requested to be added to the spreadsheet.

I hope you get a Dec interview date! Fingers crossed!

Yes Austin I'll be sure to post our review, good or bad (but hopefully good). Good luck on yours as well, I'm sure everything will go just fine.

Thanks! I hope we both get approved! Fingers crossed!
