So I post this to let you know our experience getting a visa. During the time that I was worried about our case, I find comfort and hope by reading experiences leading to a happy ending. I hope ours will make you feel the same way too.

For Sputum Exam (3mos)

August 15 2014 - Supposed Scheduled Interview

September 22 2014 - Sputum Negative Result Released

October 2 2014 - Rescheduled Interview

October 31 2014 - Submitted 221 (g)

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING

November 3 2014 - Case Status Updated "AP"

November 6 2014 - Case Status Updated "ISSUED"

November 7 2014 - Case Status Updated "ISSUED"

November 12 2014 - Case Status Updated "ISSUED"

November 13 2014 - Case Status Updated "READY"

November 14 2014 - Case Status Updated "READY"

November 17 2014 - Case Status Updated "ISSUED"

November 18 2014 - Case Status Updated "ISSUED" and received an email from USEM that visas are issued for us three

Also, always keep a smile on your face. It attracts positivity.

PD is March22,1993. JUNE 2014 our case became ative and the same time the NVC sent the doc to our embassy. It took 2 months for them to schedule our interview.

You should always check the Visa bulletin for your priority date.

Thank you and I hope yours will have its own happy ending! :)
