July 2015 Interviews

[Zirq 11]

@dwheels - this thread is a saviour...I don't think I would have mentally prepped myself for the interview without the support of this group but most of all you with all your advice. you are doing a fantastic job keep this up. I think the NVC/Consulate intelligence gathered is top notch - we could all collectively take over NVC! with all the improvements and suggestions etc that everyone has. so keep it going.....

DWheels, as you know, we "finished" the process nearly a year ago, and *I* am still here!!! We are looking forward to celebrating our "immiversary" on the one year date of our POE at JFK. That will be July 15th!

I was puzzled when I saw the "other" list recently. I only knew of yours. This has always been such a positive place - and I KNOW how much time and energy it takes to keep up with it (even when you are sick or on vacation!).

Keep up the wonderful work. I, and others who are done with NVC and the Embassy/Consulates, will always be checking in to cheer on those who are still slogging through!

Awww Sukie you are always a breathe of fresh air. Your help and assistance (you know your AOS, tax stuff goodness). And love love the "immiversary" you need to Trademark that. Too cute. Thank you so much. :goofy:

P.S- A year next month. man that was fast. It seems like you just POE'd (easy for me to say. hehe)

CR1 Case approved for me today the UK embassy.

Arrived at embassy at 12 although my interview time was 1.00. Starting lining up around 12.10. I was fourth in the line and thy started letting people through security at 12.30. Got my ticket and say down. They started calling people at 1.00 on the dot.

I was called around 1.10 and went up to the first window where a man took my

Finger prints and requested our marriage license, my D.O.B, police certificate and passport. He was just about to let me go when he asked if I had another passport photo to which I replied I did. When I gave it to him he compared it with the one he already had and said they needed a new one from within the last 6 months and that there are photo booths in the hall if I have change. Who the hell carries £6 change around with them? So I had to leave the embassy, run across the road to a pharmacy and get my photos done.

I had been told to just go straight back to his window which I did and everything was ok. I then waited 15-20 mins to be called again. It was a nice American lady who greeted me and she asked me only three things:

When and where did we meet?

How did we keep the relatiionshio going while I was in the UK doing my masters? (to which I repli d we lived together)

Who was my joint sponsor?

Then she signed and few papers and said she is more than happy to approve. I was in there about 1hr 15mins title even with the ####### up and still managed to catch my train.

She told me the visa should be with me in 3-4 weeks

dwheels76, the spreadsheet makes it official! Thanks for the hard work, it means a lot!

Help!!! I havent been able to find a single doctor to give me the Tdap shot and my medical exam is tomorrow morning at 8:30am!!! Dr Cheema told me i need to get it before the exam...what's going to happen with me showing up not getting it done?! Will i fail the exam?!

[sam89 3]

Have no idea. Have quite a few waiting for interview at Jordan. One with 3/30 date.

It's so frustrating. Everyone I ask says that three months waiting for an interview from Amman is way too long but every time I call, they just tell me to wait some more. Could my case have been overlooked? Has that ever happened? And if so, what can I do about it?

thats strange my doc gave it to me. i guess explain the situation - go get it after the medical and get it signed off by the doc and send to him before he sends u the results?

Okay, so something weird just happened. I told my husband to call the embassy in Amman and the lady was asking him if he made a profile so that an interview could be scheduled. He didn't know what she was talking about but I can only guess this was what she meant: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

I only found this site a few days ago here on visajourney and made a profile but it's not recognizing his case number and NVC isn't sending anything of his over until they hear back from the Embassy. But it seems like the embassy is waiting on the papers from NVC!? What is going on. What exactly was I supposed to do after case complete because NVC told me all I had to do was wait. Is that wrong? Was I supposed to make a profile right away so that an interview could be scheduled? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

My wife is from Mexico and got her case complete on April 8th. we have still not received an interview date . I call about twice a week and they keep telling me to wait.

It's been almost 3 months and it seems like it will never end. I talk to another girl from Mexico who had her case complete date a day before ours and she got her interview date two weeks ago.

Why is this taking so long and is anyone else in the same situation??

I have tried the same thing, it does not recognize the Case#, there has to be a better answer than just wait, as if we are waiting for the new iPhone to be out
