guys, i have a question!

so there are 14 CR1 cases for november in Ankara embassy (turkey)

and my case is the 9th case which is on november 18th, so there are 3 cases on the 17th and 4 cases on the 18th and 3 cases on the 19th. all these cases status is still ready BUT they all got status update last week like some nov 5th, nov 6th and nov 7th. EXCEPT my case didnt get status update it's still says: status update: Oct 29th.

i'm afraid if this means early signal of A.P :huh2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2:

does anybody have any idea about this status update thingy??

i noticed that cases get 2 times status updates before the interview.

so i'm freaking out about this..

btw, my case changed from " IN TRANSIT " to " READY " on Oct 27 and got status update on Oct 29th!

similar to all the other cases too they all had first status update around (OCT 27, 28, 29) except that they got second status update last week whereas my case didnt..

im stressing out so much about this and like everyone here in vj i dont wana wait more months... and we already made plans to travel around california if i get the visa.. but it's all depending on the interview and the visa..

oh btw, about the photos album, i picked photos of us and the trips we've been to and family photos and stuff it's 150 photos!

so should i take like a photocopy of all thses photos for the interview in case the CO wants the photos so i can give the photocopy??? or i should give the original printed photos?? ( which BTW wasnt very cheap actually =) around 50 $ )

plus 20 photos of our marriage photos!

thank u in advanced (guys btw i want to thank everyone here on vj this has been really helpful and awesome people! sharing and explaining things experiences..)

I am not an expert..but why don't you think of it this way-- maybe they needed to give your case only one status update…and it was all COOL :idea::dancing: ….i think you are psyching yourself out… :no: .

150 photos!!! :wow: … I guess you can take that many…I ma only taking about 20-30…important ones….and our relationship is 3 years …and we got married a year ago..and to top it…theres an age difference…so we will see...

and worrying is like a rocking chair….you keep moving but DONT GET ANYWHERE>>…

enjoy your time..get your paperwork ready and have a good time at the interview.. i think the most important thing is faith and confidence in yourself. you will do just fine and we all here on VJ will pray for you...

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

I want to get over with this already. It's hard being away from your spouse and this is exhausting but, hey I guess this is the way it goes when you decide to get married in a different country.

I have been away from NVC because of some health issues/surgery. I've got to get my head in the game here, though, because my husband's interview is Wednesday! I skimmed this month's interview thread and I'm so happy to hear about all the visa approvals, POEs, and interview dates.

I'm preparing the documents for the interview, and I believe I have everything we need, though I do anticipate some hiccups. I really hope it goes smoothly, though.

One oddity is that the French embassy specifically requests new originals of all civil and financial documents sent to the NVC. This is frustrating and just really underlines the fact that the NVC stage was just months of unnecessary waiting.

Keep us posted about how the interview went in the consulate review section. Good luck to you, all fingers crossed!!!

In many cases many of these embassies just shut down scheduling when they have run out of petitions or people.

Given that December is 21 days away some embassies might ask that nothing be scheduled after a certain date. Some embassies as I have been told have open scheduling (Iceland for example).

If you are curious just call and ask NVC if your embassy has completed December scheduling yet.

i called and i got a female rep i asked if they are done scheduling for December and if Beirut consulate are done scheduling she said she doesnt know, all what she can know if there is interview date or not

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

Heya! If you have your interview date go ahead and sign up for loomis. The Montreal email that everyone got was just for extra documents they require at the interview. I printed my confirmation right away and have it sitting with my big bundle of interview documents! I bought sticky tabs *____* organization or bust!

how did you know about the number of cases in your country ?

it's available on the embassy website link under "interview schedule"

i just checked the us embassy in Beirut and it's not the same!! there's no "interview schedule" link where u can see all the month appointments.

i guess its totally different from embassy to another!

maybe it's better not to know the other cases haha so u dont worry!! :)

good luck and hey btw im from syria, aleppo city

keep me posted about ur interview!

adios amigo!
