February 2015 Interviews

[dehiguey23 52]

Hi dwheels76! Question: on the NVC site where it says "prepare For interview " it says to "bring all original civil documents, or all original documents". Won't NVC send those to the embassy on our behalf? Do I really have to get all that expensive stuff again?!

[dustyrah 13]

This is a difficult question to answer but please chime in with your comments. So how long would it take from the time the plane lands to get out of immigration and customs and head to baggage claims? I have heard people saying they had to sit around to get their passport stamped etc. So would 1 hour be at minimum required to get out to baggage claims or?

It really depends on when you fly, and what airport you are using for your POE.

I personally would not think 1 hour is enough, I went a little excessive and booked a flight with a 6 hour layover. You know, just to be safe.

That is a good question and actually i have had that same question. I saw a couple months back someone say it took them 2 hours to just get through immigration so to always leave time but then again it depends which international airport you are going through.

Anyone else have some advice or comments?

[Robisons 91]

Okay, I've emailed them. I'll keep you updated!

I've seen people from the UK have their medicals done months before CC even... It shouldn't be an issue

Congratulations. The Administrative Processing you see is normal that everyone goes through after approved interview. They are getting everything together. They have paperwork to do and they they have to get the Visa issued. Takes a few days like they say a few weeks. So long as they said approved everything is fine.

Many embassy sites say that. I think its out dated or its there for people who maybe were expedited and processed through the embassy. If NVC has your originals you don;t have to run around and get new ones. No worries there.

[Sulaimon & Brandy 20]

We got a case complete on 01/12/2015. I have been following the thread now I am here to join the thread.

Well depends where you are POE'ing and what is happening. I have seen the immigration line go from 0 to 1000 people in 15 minutes. They always say give yourself 2 hrs at least. You never know if you will be delayed or pulled into secondary questioning. Or anything can happen.

But it's about the time of day and the traffic. I would check out the POE reviews on the airport you intend to be landing at.
