I am going through the same thing with my mom

That was the reason for my expedite. I am grateful that I have this time with her. I don't mind being her caregiver. I love having her. Adjustments to my life don't matter, just having her does. And I think God for that every single day.

What frustrates me is they requested more information and no one told me. Five phone calls and not once did they tell me. They all just said it was granted. Congratulations.

Their incompetence infuriates me.

Yes I have heard about it many times. Not sure what your expedite is for but, AmeriDutch has health problems and her beloved mother is dying and they denied her. Let us never forget to count our blessings. Just wanted to say that because it can be much, much worse but I do understand your frustration.

[patnjac 130]

Thank you. Yes and I have been happy that we were granted an expedite. And Everyday I'm saying it's okay bc we are one step closer, one step closer. I just cannot believe they did not tell me the embassy granted it but needed more information from me. That is the part that infuriates me

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your case... I have this kind of granted expedite...it sucks and I argue a lot (I have a medical condition and lost my health benefits in Brazil, and my hubby pays for it in the USA, so I need to keep the treatment there). anyways, I still need to pass through the whole process with NVC and only after a case complete the embassy will give a sort of priority with my interview. It's hard, but at least it's something. My advice is for you to collect all the papers and send your packages ASAP so the clock will start ticking.

I'm sorry again, but thing positively that at least your wait for an interview date won't be that bad.

I now have my laptop computer with me so I just wrote my Consulate Review (Interview Experience)!

I'm now waiting for my passport back with the visa. I hope I get it tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

What a great review. Expected nothing less and like Amanda can only envisage the Yoga. Mind you I think when I hear those magic words I will scream Sydney down.

Dumb question guys!!

Im gonna need some vaccinations for sure, but I am so scared of it haha that it will be lovely to do it here while im at home relax and just the physical there. I mean of course ill havethe record that I take it. Is it allow?

Another question, the biometricsdo you need to nring your interview letter or I can do it now with the ds260 copy? Can I do that at another city like a different city not the one ill be having my interview? The thing is I live close to an embassy and ill like to do as much as I can before.

Im just still sick of my tongue and I am scared ill get a sorta reaction to a shoot or something and omg that wont be cool.

Random.

I cant sleep at night, like I do but it cost me, 2 hours of moving in circles in bed but during the day when I take my mxican nap I sleep like a new born haha

I'm so very sorry about your dear mother and I apologize if I seemed insensitive I didn't mean to at all. Not an excuse but I see so many people getting expedites for the most stupid reasons, like they want to be with their husband for Christmas and they get expedites. It makes no sense at all and their should be a better way so this whole system can work.

I'm sorry to ask but your in Ghana with your mother, taking care of her?

Your frustration with the incompetence of the US immigration is a very valid one and I do understand completely. I hope you everything goes quickly from now on and you get to go home very soon. You and your mother are in my prayers.

I hope someone comes by to answer your questions but if not mistaken you can have the vaccinations given to you at a clinic but the Medical you need the e-mail or letter with your appointment date etc on it. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think you'll be just fine very few people have reactions to the vaccines, mostly just feel a little tired for a couple of days. Good luck to you my dear, I pray all goes smoothly for you at your interview and your medical is an easy one.

Thank you for your comments. I know you did not mean to be insensitive you just were not well informed.

I should've specified what was going on. I am a US citizen I am living in the states. My mom has been ill for a long time however took a turn for the worse the summer. My mom suffers from COPD, cardiomyopathy, Reynauds disease, scleroderma, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and stage III chronic kidney disease. You would not believe how many medicine she's on including a cancer drug for the scleroderma which is quite toxic.

She has trouble walking and barely weighs 90 pounds. (40 kilos). I requested the expedite to get my husband here based not only on that but the fact that to take care of my mom I needed to cut my hours at work obviously. I requested the expedite to have him here not only to help me care for her but so that he could work and relieve some of the financial burden. I also explained to them that he already has a job promised here.

The emotional and financial stress is draining. There is no question about that. And I have just been waiting and biting my time like everyone else. Not complaining thanking God for every day that we're one step closer. I say thank you Lord that they approved him to go to embassy once they review the papers. However, when I heard last night that the Embassy requested further info from me and no one told me, that is when I got angry. Five phone calls and nothing? Not to mention not once did they tell me conditional expedite. And what's worse, is that I have more documentation and I had put that in the original request that I can get documentation from each one of her doctors so I've been sitting on it here because everyone told me we were already granted so why send in more paperwork?

Grrrr

I am still frustrated with them this morning, though not angry. Bc it is what it is

And God is good.. All the time !!!

So this too shall pass

[lou-nic 36]

so my hubby just messaged me on whatsapp that they called him and rescheduled him for this coming Tuesday the 18th. so hopefully that day we will get the news we have been waiting for.

God willing all is fine

Yay!!!! Congratulations finally you are done i read your review it was hilarious you must consider writiting

My interview is 17 days away , my file almost ready just waiting for papers from hubby to fedex ... Bought a huge suitcase (pink one ) and lots of bubble warp for fragile things ..... Russian consulate couldn't provide me with the olive certificate since I'm a permanent resident of Jordan and never stayed more than a month at a time so I asked the to provide me with a document that says that . So yep I'm excited and can't wait for the interview

Meanwhile improving my cooking skills ))) lol

[samreen23 461]

Congrats!

Since your PD was June, 2013, I'm not surprised that you got an early interview date!

PD is one of the factors that determines your interview date!

Yup. I think that was the reason. Cuz another person from Pakistan had cc 30th oct and interview 30th dec. mine was 4th nov. So wasn't expecting anything earlier than 20s. But thank God. We r both happy and excite!! And I read ur review!! Your yoga part was hilarious

[TagTeam 61]

Just wanted to let you guys know just in case this would help. I noticed my AOS changed on the 13th called and the rep I spoke to said my case was completed on the 12th. My last scan date was Oct. 29 for a checklist. It looks like they are taking about 7 weeks to review checklists from what I have observed thus far. For everyone who is struggling and still going through a rough time my prayers go out to you. May God Bless you all with strength to overcome whatever you are going through.

[Norwegian 12]

I am going to stop calling NVC and wasting my international minutes, they are not giving me any answers.

My package was received and scanned sept 29th. I'm positive we will get a checklist. My hubby thinks not.
