Haven't been on here in ages, I've been crazy busy with work lately. Just wanted to pop in though and say I got our case complete yesterday!!! Now just waiting for our interview appointment to be issued. Anyone know how long it takes to get the interview appointment letter?

Good luck to everyone still waiting, I definitely feel for you and wish you all the best.

I just wanted to point out that unfortunately Saylin's excel document that documents your visa progress has a huge gap between the end of September and then the end of October. No one with scan dates

Hi all, I just made the following list with all the users and their latest scan date I found on this thread so we can get an idea. Feel free to update it or add yourself! 10/01 - Antre 10/08 - laje

My thoughts in regards to scan dates and such: NVC isn't ever on just one specific date. It'll always be a range of dates, because there's more than just one person reviewing files. And although NVC

Yes, this the one u will attach with document, but, as you have sent both packages under one bar coded cover sheet so it is not needed at this time.

I haven't sent my packages yet but will send this week inshallah. The thing is that these bar-code are already there even before showing up paid. i'm really confused... please someone clear it to me. also why do i need to just use one bar-code page? i'm sending 2 packages together (AOS n IV) so i will need both of the bar-codes for each package, right??

congrats. i didnt know they make problems with not putting middle name. i didnt put middle name. i dont have it neither my dad or husband. omg, i m scared now... :/

Saylin, If we don't have middle names, should we leave the middle name fields blank in form I-864 or should we write "none" or "n/a"?

Thank you in advance

Thank you in advance

[...]

Well, the question on middle names IS applicable, so you shouldn't put N/A as that's not an appropriate answer. It'd be best to put NONE if there's no middle name.
