Can anyone direct me to the London forum?

I'm concerned that the scheduling for an interview will take over a month now and I was really hoping to get out to my fiancee by November.

Can I submit my readiness form whenever? As assuming it will take them two weeks to schedule an interview for a month later.. I'd have all my paperwork by then..

The best place to be to get answers to your questions is in the sub-forum for your country. To find the sub-forum for your country go to the top of this page, select "Forums", then scroll down the page to "General Discussion Area", then within that area scroll a little ways down to "Regional Discussions". Once in your regional discussion forum go ahead and post your question and those who are knowledgeable for many of your questions "why this", "can you explain this", "where is this" or "why is it taking so long" can be answered.

Just a recommendation to relieve your stress and to enlighten you on what is available in the way of help.

I posted a thread in the Canada forum with a few more details about it... basically wait until the "Status Updated Date" changes again. which in our case took just under two weeks. Then have your fiance send in the Packet 3 checklist, the CEAC DS-160 confirmation page, and the passport scan, and if they have in fact logged your case, you will receive Packet 4 in a few hours (or less!) If they haven't actually received it, they will just ignore your email, and you can send it again a few days later.

Also on the Ds160 it asks how many times entered US, is it just for our relationship or his whole life?? I would think just our relationship. Anyone?

We just entered the trips my fiancee made to the US starting with when we met.

For trips to other countries, I believe it asks for the last 5 years.

HI,

I might be asking in the wrong portal but since we are all going thru the same process I thought maybe I get better answers then people who has gone thru the process before and don't remember all the little details, our petition was approved on 9-8 just last week, I waited a whole week and called the NVC today and they said they still don't have my case to call next week which is ok our priority date is January 9th, here is where I m beyond confused I am having my fiancé gathering some of the stuff like police certificate and getting his birth certificate and divorce decree apostille.. my confusion is he supposed to get something from the embassy ? sadly Venezuela doesn't have a mail delivery how we do here in the USA what should I do in this case? if anybody here that is almost at the interview stage and has gone thru the whole packet 3 and 4 stage... the process has kind of threw me off since everyone has told me different things... help would be greatly appreciated it we are targeting for a December interview

I'm feeling paranoid here because it's almost 2 weeks and still haven't heard from USCIS.

Does anyone know how much longer should I wait before I start contacting them? :clock:

Have u heard anything from USCIS? We pretty much have t he same timeline and I just got approved today.
