Any passport return updates from you?

Not yet. But worried cuz saw a news story that US Emmbassy and consulates are experiencing technical difficulties that may delay visa processing.

I know Monday parts of the state department network were shut down (due to cyber attacks). Was hoping it had been resolved... Argggghhhh.....

Just to update you all. I had to go back to the London embassy today because they couldn't get my electronic signature on Monday because of a computer glitch. Wasn't happy at all. Got there early and thought they were not going to let me in. Cue tears, panic and calling the missus. But they did. Saw a different CO from Monday who took my prints again and apologised for the inconvenience. Told me they took them electronically to make sure I was a good guy and not a bad guy. I asked could I wait in the embassy until it showed AP and he said take a seat, we'll print it now and it'll be ready in 20 mins. I was in shock. When I was called back, the interviewing CO from Monday was there and told me she had asked if she could give it to me as I was so lovely and so happy when she told me I was approved that I made her day. I'm now in Oxford St. with the Crown Jewels in a Marks and Spencer carrier bag because it's too big to fit in my laptop bag and I'm terrified of bending it or leaving it somewhere. So happy right now I could cry. And it's the first time in my life I've ever been described as lovely

well

My husband applied for the permit (which allows Palestinians in the West bank to enter Jerusalem legally) on Sunday for his interview on 12/15/14 and today it got denied. We kind of felt like that was gonna happen just because of everything going on in Jerusalem the past few days.

Everyone on here getting ready for their interview should be extremely thankful they don't have to worry about this "issue". Actually getting to your appointment at the consulate or embassy might be the easiest part for you.

We've been waiting 2.5 years for this interview and now he can't go.

Life in an occupied territory...

That is absolutely devastating! I am so sorry Maybe you could post in your regional forum and ask other former applicants for advice? Definitely get in touch with your embassy.

Just got back from my interview and I have to say to was easy, everybody was so nice to me and I got approved yay finally I get to be with my hubby . Thank god! I will post my review later today

Thanks again everybody for everything here this is a really great forum

Congrats to everybody who got also approved

Good luck to everybody who's interview is coming up!

cheers

Woohoo! Congrats Nadeshda! You'll have your printed visa in no time

We got it. It is well. He will be at that interview 12/15. I am sure just these last few days will calm things (I pray). Don;t worry he will get approved to go get approved. No down now. Just a delay and a obstacle to get around.

She shouldn't need to pay anything unless the courier is arranged there and then.

Thank God they were able to sort that out! And that was great reading about the CO you saw before seeing you again just because she liked you so much

When I was approved I was in shocked/numb silence and I think I came across as too nonchalant

Hello all. Checking in on the Interview thread.

Case Complete on November 14. Waiting for email confirmation and interview date in Santo Domingo. I'm hoping for January.

I see some of my mates here from the November 2013 I-130 thread. I'm glad to see folks moving along now. We had an AOS checklist and that set us back 60 days, but it feels good we are moving to the interview stage.

Did you call NVC? to see if they are still scheduline for December you may get end of December. I got cc on 10.31.14 Interview date on 11.12.14 and they were closed for two days which I think that was the delay

but, if you call they will let you know.
