I have a one big doubt. So the location we select while scheduling Biometrics is our pickup location right? Are there any other place we select it?

Has anyones case ever be sent to get reviewed by a supervisor and how long did it take to get the response? Also how long does it take to get response if you email the request for expedition?

I called this morning regarding my parents case and to why my mother has an interview on November 3 and why my father doesnt. Again, they said its weird it should've definitely been scheduled together so she sent my fathers case for review to a supervisor. and then the rep also told me to email and explain everything requesting and expedite since his case is already approved all they would have to do is just make sure they both get the same interview date. Until then....my whole family is stressing out

It's only the 6th and I'm already not seeing posts to announce VJ member's interviews scheduled, Last month it seemed to remain busy for the first couple weeks, and slowed a little in the 3rd week before it stopped.

Just an FYI for those about to interview.... my husband is scheduled for interview on November 5. He looked thru his paperwork and found that the police certificate that we submitted expires before the interview. He is going to get another just in case they need a current one. I have heard that they are good for 1 year. His was only good for 3 months. Check the date on your police certificate. You don't want that to be what holds you up in getting approved.

Last week many people here were scheduled interviews...but have not seen anything this week...I just called nvc...no interview in Caracas yet.

So I have few questions regarding my interview in November:

1. Do I need to take documents to the interview that are marked with letter F in the packet 4 interview letter?

2. Is there any fee that needs to be submitted at the embassy before interview for CR1 visa?

3. I'm married to my cousin and although it's legal in the state my husband lives in (NY) but should I still take something to prove that our marriage is not for personal benefits or fraud? How do they deal with cousin marriages at the embassy?

TIA

1, No

2. No

3. That's what the whole interview is about to show evidence you are in a bonafide relationship. That's what we all are doing. Regardless the relation you have.

Cousins marrying in many countries is normal and okay.

You should read your countries interview reviews. I have read many stories of cousins marry some didn't end well some did.

Dear all, I'm using the instructions below to try to track my packet as it leaves NVC in Portsmouth, NH. My question is: What is AVR. Please see #1.

Thank you and good luck for you all.

_________________________

1- when you know from AVR that your case was forward to embassy ( mm/dd/yyyy) lets take an example case forward to embassy March 20th 2009

2- go to DHL TRACK

3- then under track list click on track reference

4- put the reference in this shape EXP19MAR2009A and push track

now we seen its completed in 2oth but we searched in 19th yes because they schedule shipping day before so DHL know in advance when they will ship it so day before will be your exact day for NVC shipping your case to your embassy

i tried it this way and worked but i found 2 cases to cairo so which one is mine dosent matter as along as i can keep an eye on it for sure the month will be changing just the example above for explanation

_________________________________

Don't use this track by watching your Visa status tracker on ceac.gov.

To use DHL tacking you would have to know from NVC when your package left. Just watch on ceac status it change to In transit then when it arrives and logged in Ready.

If you do DHL you will see packages for your embassy daily means nothing because you have no idea its yours so its really futile. Fun but no exact science.

[dwheels76 5,468]

Can someone help me please. I posted this question over the weekend not sure it someone responded.

i applied I-130 for my mother and father at the same time. They both got the same CC date and were supposed to get same interview date. Over the weekend P4 was sent only for my mother for interview November 3. My fathers P4 was not sent. I called NVC yesterday. They confirmed my mothers interview, they confirmed that my fathers case was complete and all the guy said was "oh that's weird they weren't scheduled together." He told me to call the embassy and tell them to see if they can schedule my father the same day as my mother. I call embassy this morning and they said they can't do anything because NVC is the one who schedules interviews. So what do I do guys? Call NVC again or call embassy again but explain a different way? My mother has already scheduled her medicals for October 20.

Call NVC and demand to speak to a supervisor and tell them they messed up and split two cases that were to be together and you already contacted the embassy and they said you are he ones that have to schedule my dad.

DO NOT SPEAK TO THE OPEROTOR WHO ANSWERS EXCEPT TO DEMAND TO SPEAK TO SUPERVISOR NOW!!

Help pls..how do my husband (petitioner) get all our phone call records. Then also how much dose d greencard fee cost. Thanks

Depends what service does your husband use.He needs to check into that. I use Rebtel and i can jut go and print my phone log monthly. If he has like verizon, Sprint whoever in US he can go to them pull his bills.

Did you not submit any communication between you in your I-130 petition?

Vsa fee after you receive Visa is $165 you pay online either before you leave or when you get to US. Your choice.

[dwheels76 5,468]

My husband just completed his interview in Kingston Jamaica. He was not told if it was approved or not. They kept his passport, gave him a white slip and told him if they don't call him, he should receive his visa through DHL. I'm feeling nervous and unsure of what does that mean. Any suggestion my VJers

What did the white slip of paper say? I guess they have some more administrative wok to do. Which is normal with your embassy being so backlogged they might not have finished their investigation, or waiting for a report o something Just a waiting thing now. Good thing they kept passport.

[dwheels76 5,468]

Had interview today finally after 6 months of waiting.

My husband spent 3 and a half hours in the embassy today, they asked him simple questions like how did you come to know your wife, when's your anniversary, stuff like that.

My affidavit of support wasn't enough so I had two joint sponsors but turns out those two joint sponsors sponsored other people so the affidavits were worthless.

Visa denied until I can find someone who hasn't already sponsored an immigrant to sponsor my husband.

Did they not list the other people they sponsored in their household size? Dang sorry about that 2 of them down the tubes. Well hope you find someone soon. At least everything else is fine.
