Hi everyone!

We had our interview on Wednesday and it was approved!

My son and I went to the interview with him.

I was a little nervous especially when I saw how they tough they were with someone before us.

But it was very easy just basic questions:

Where did you meet? How long have you been married? Have you been to the us? Where will you live? Is your son a citizen?

We had a problem with our sponsors 2013 income being low and they were going to request us to provide another sponsor, but I was able to show them that our sponsor made plenty in previous years and their assets and the co changed her mind right away and approved us

I just wanted to post this so I could let everyone know some things that were kind of weird.

When we got to the embassy they told us to give them copies of our i864 and tax papers. Since I sent to nvc it wasn't supposed to be required, but I brought a huge binder of all papers just in case so it wasn't a problem. I also brought our sponsors previous years taxes and assets and those actually saved us from being sent away.. So pleeeeeease everyone even if nvc says the papers are not required, just be prepared for anything

Well done for being ready and successfully fencing with the CO.

And I fully agree with you on being well prepared with all kinds of supporting documents. It's unforgivable for anyone to trust that the long chain of sometimes inefficient and/or unorganized agencies (USCIS/NVC/Consulate) would not miss or mess up a critical piece of evidence in your case file.

I checked the dhl tracker and saw that the last shipment to Nigeria was shipped October 6th (Monday) and delivered October 9th (Thursday). The next shipment is likely to be Tuesday since Monday is holiday, hopefully my file will be included. Fingers crossed till Tuesday

I just checked the DHL tracking. A package from NVC was received yesterday in Warsaw.

My husband went to see his primary care doctor this morning and discussed his requirements for vaccinations. (The doctor who does the medical exam for immigration visa in Paris sent us the instruction before hand.)

Well, he needed to take a blood test to see which vaccinations he would need to get. It will take about a week to get the result, and based upon the result, he would get his vaccinations if needed, and he would bring the documents to the medical exam that the embassy instructed.

So, I would recommend that you see the primary care doctor well in advance so you have enough time to get appropriate vaccinations.

Here is our time line:

Appointment at primary care doctor to see which vaccinatins to get + blood test: 11/10/2014

Blood Test Result: 10/1/8/2014

Appointment with primary care doctor for vaccination: 10/20/2014

Appointment with medical exam: 10/31/2014

Interview in Paris: 11/04/2014

This may not be the case in other countries but I just want to share just in case.

I took a look at your timeline and just wanted to ask if you had a checklist?

Thanks!

Hi. Yes, got a checklist on i864. Husband incorrectly input adjusted total income instead of just the total income. Took 60 days to have them reviewed. Got a Cc in sept.2. Also, checklist for my son's i864, it should be i864w since he will be a US citizen upon entering US. We didnt know that, haha. His case complete was sept.23 so, i guess they based my interview with his cc date.

London started scheduling interviews two hours ago. I've got Nov 17 I've gone a bit giddy but that could be the two stout stouts I had before calling them

Congratulations. I have updated you.

I am unable to make the DHL tracking site work, but my case is showing up as "In Transit" on the CEAC tracker. Yay!

I don't understand about i864W.

Instruction for I864:

"The following type of intending immigrants do not need to file this form:

...

2. Any intending immigrant who will, upon admission, acquire U.S. citizenship under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. as amended by the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA)

...

If you qualify for one of the exemptions listed above, submit Form I-864W, Intending Immigrant's Affidavit of Support Exemption, instead of Form 1-864."

Your son has american father in his birth sertificate?

Waiting is very horrible...

[Ketsuban 1,034]

I'm gonna be calling on Tuesday to see if my interview has been scheduled. Since Cathy got hers, I'm almost certain I got mine too

[dilmera 124]

Guys,

I had my POE yesterday evening at ATLANTA>

It was pretty much a breezy after the bad start to the flight, which was delayed by 4 hrs, which resulted in missing my connecting flight. Nevertheless I reached ATL 4-5 hrs later than the expected time.

At POE, I was taken for finger printing, And another place which handles immigration like our cases, made to sit after I Submitted my sealed envelope. Once the papers work from their side was done, I was made to sign, and given a temperory green card stamp on my passport, along with a small slip with the time frame I need to remove the conditions. That was it! No questions asked

Totally took me not more than 20 mins.

Good luck to everyone else

Yes Dont worry. Mine had it too

megharjun or anyone going through the Mumbai Consulate, please need your help. Am feeling so lost. All the info is thrown at me and I can't make sense of it all. All I know is that I have an interview appointment on November 7 and I should do medical before that. Also, I read the instructions that I should register for passport pickup location. When I created the profile to do that, it asked me to schedule an OFC appointment. What is this , is it photos and biometrics? Does this have to be AFTER the medical? Help!!!

Hi. Were also surpised that my son needs i864w cos we send the i864 but got checklisted. On the checklist, they explain that my husband should file i864w since our son will benefit from the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. On his BC, husband was still a Filipino Citizen, he just naturalized a month after our son's birth. But then, on the factors, son is less than 18, petitioner is a naTuralized USC, and soon will be living in the US upon pursuing permanent residency, so I think he qualifies for the CCA of 2000.
