Hi! I encourage you all (fatty1011, Magazine, sherin001) to meet each other prior to the interview. There were three other Australians being interviewed on "our" day, and it really meant a lot to us to meet each other in person after so many months agonizing on Visa Journey! It helped calm us down (a lot!). We met for breakfast and walked to the consulate together. Best of luck to all of you!

It really sucks falling in love with someone from another country. I wish that there were no liars and then we wouldn't have to go through so much red tape. My husband and I have only been able to se

WE HAVE AN INTERVIEW!!!!!! October 5th at 11am!

She said it was scheduled Friday, apparently after I called. I wish I'd called later as to not then send the email. I'm sooooo worried they are still going to pull our file now and delay us.

She said the package shipped today, though I realize it is supposedly packaged today and picked up tomorrow. So I REALLY hope we are in that package that leaves! I'm going to be biting my nails until I hear something from the NVC. Hoping that at least it will change from at NVC to "in transit".

I am the petitioner, he still lives overseas

found each other August 2009
started courting December 2010
first held hands February 2011
engaged June 2013
married May 2014
began process January 2015

Most recent update: Interviewed on 05-OCT 2015. Approved and visa in hand!!!

Our appointment is the day before the USCIS will stop accepting the old i-864 so I hope they don't want a new form from us as there is no way it'll arrive to him in his country in 3 weeks. I won't be able to send any of the data I was going to send. So he's just going to take all scans and printouts of what I email him and hope for the best. He has all his originals and I sent a bunch of originals with the I-130 package, so if they didn't lose that package then they will have most everything except an original new form i-864

Very good, congratulations. It looks like they accepted your expedite request, sorry if I missed where you updated us on that.

I just called. No date yet but something really nice happened. I finally found a rep with a heart and humane!!! She was so nice and helpful!! Faith in reps at NVC call center restored!!! They do have human beings, understanding, caring, eager to help people at that place!! So I asked for a Sup, but this time to give a positive feedback.

Now waiting for the Senator to inquire. Maybe by the end of the week! Wish us luck!!!

I don't think they did. I just emailed on the 11th after calling them first thing in the morning. So I don't think they've even opened the email, let alone approved it.

It looks like I just called a little too soon. I've received no replies at all and instead am worried they will pull the file from being mailed, which will result in a delay instead of expedite.

I'm glad they actually had an interview, because more than 1 rep told us they didn't even have Croatia's slots to schedule. He called today to see if there was any update on the Expedite email and was surprised with an interview time.

I'm very glad it is only 3 weeks today, but I hope it goes well and he is approved. I have a MRI soon to see which direction my treatment needs to go. So it's nice to think that he will be here in just a couple months and I will be able to get the help I need. Even nicer to think he won't have to leave after a couple weeks like he always has!

wow received the interview letter just now! Looks like the only thing they want him to bring are the originals of his IV package and the original of our marriage certificate, which I mailed him last week. So hopefully that arrives in time. The mail to there is SO slow!
