Progress thread for TSC filers now between NVC and Interview Stage

[wbeem 568]

If you don't know, just say you don't know. It might look bad if someone didn't know their fiance's name, but they won't care if you don't know where his cousins live.

Haha very true! I was just wondering lol not worried about it though thanks!

There seem to have been some technical errors on their system over the past week or two. Don't worry - as long as you are approved, you are good.

Hi, welcome!!

All the best for your fiance's interview today. Let us know how it goes. I'm leaving work at lunch time to travel to London for our medical tomorrow, but will try check in on here if, as and when I can

You must be nervous and relieved at the same time. Your case was one of the 'forgotten' ones like ours. What a relief to see movement at last. It's really encouraging to see that you guys are almost at the end of this section of the immigration process.

Happy to report my fiance passed his interview this morning at London! We are so excited that this piece is over and now we can go full steam ahead to May 3 when he will arrive. We are booking his flight soon. We thought to wait until we had visa in hand, and maybe we still will, but if we wait much longer flight costs are going to be outrageous the closer we get.

Good luck on the medical!! Our cases were definitely forgotten but I'm happy that they moved much faster after the NOA1. Petition seemed to breeze through NVC which was a relief.

We expected them to just ask for proof of income though we prepared for more. London is typically an easier embassy to go through. The officer actually asked Luke to see his phone and show him the last calls we had, which were obviously very recent. I'd also sent him 200 pages of text messages, WhatsApp, Skype logs, etc.. over the past year. The officer asked about my family, about our history and how he proposed. I'm sure some of it was general banter, but also to get information. My fiance is on his train back home now so I will have more details later.

It's a chat, not a quiz that you get graded on. One of the guys I recall was asked how many times have you been to America? "I dunno, lots" was his answer. Some are asked what does your fiancé do. A perfectly good answer was "he has some fancy title I can never remember, but he does research in a lab." Those answers probably are more believable than spouting off a script that sounds memorized.

Medical scheduled for April 23rd Another step towards the end!

Yeah that's what I figured cause things are different here and there and everyone can't always remember everything all the time much less when nervous. I mean unless it was very simple things or something you should know. Red flag kinda stuff.

[CheekyMonkeys154 27]

Woohoo our case is now in transit!

[wbeem 568]

Heading off to Knightsbridge Doctors now. This is the part where I think I'm supposed to get nervous or anxious, yet all I'm thinking about is what my credit card statement is going to look like at the end of this month!

[CheekyMonkeys154 27]

Haha well at least you are calm then. Good luck let us knows how it goes Be safe.

[TLSR2014 9]

Awesome!! That means ours isn't far behind ? One step closer! ??

[CheekyMonkeys154 27]

I'm sure yours will change soon!! Only one package from NVC going to London for our date and it is scheduled to arrive on Monday. I wish we could've done a sooner medical but oh well. WE can show ready next week then that way as soon as they do medical results we will be good to schedule interview. WOohoo!

Speaking of interviews I wonder if anyone has ever not known the answer to a question they ask. I mean let's face it if they ask about anniversary and such not everyone will remember those. Haha

My brother, is married to an american and he had his CR1 visa interview in London. His mind completely blanked and he couldn't remember his in-laws' names, but could remember where they were born. I think he found it pretty embarrassing/ stressful. So the interviewer asked about her other family members and he mentioned some cousins, but got the names completely wrong. I don't think the interviewer actually had information on her cousins there though, so I'm not sure he knew he got them wrong. Anyway, he passed and the interviewer said "Surprisingly...you passed! You'll have plenty of time to get to know your new family ;)"

Also, this thread is very useful! We're waiting for our NOA2 (hopefully any day now) so it's good to see the experiences/ confusion/ questions we can expect to go through in the next stage. Good luck everyone!
