GUYS does anyone know where i can find the DS-260 Number ?

London Consulate requires anyone going through there to fill out a form online before interview..

Cannnot seem to find a Number on the 260..

would it be the confirmation number by any chance.

thank you.

Sorry, may I ask here? Do we have a topic, dedicated to spousal interview reports solely? I would love to get to know the details and the results.

Congratulations. Very happy for you. That was fast man (well probably didn't feel too fast) but on paper it is fast.

Jehovah God is certainly good. (Psalm 106:1).

Thanks! All glory goes to God!

Hello everyone by God's grace I completed my interview today at Mumbai... I am happy that my visa is approved...

15 months of sleepless nights and worries comes to an end...

Last night was so terrible that I cannot breathe properly because of mixed reviews about visa approval.

My interview time slot is 7.30 I reached at 6am and waited till seven until consular officer called us.

Stepped in and got all the fields scanned.

Note:no phones and electronic items allowed

Post security clearance got inside embassy and they gave us token according to our language preferences.

Tip:select native language coz I sawhim getting called immediately for language preferences. (i waited almost an hour as I chose English)

Then my number flashed on screen and I moved to the counter. She was a beautiful lady asked all my documents in order below

Passport

Ds260- given at ofc(biometric)

Photo pinned to Ds260

Pcc

Medical sealed packet

Marriage certificate original and xerox

Birth certificate original and xerox.

The officer collected all doc and asked me general questions as who applied and where I am going.

She then gave me domestic violence pamphlet and asked me to go through it as visa consular might ask

I waited for my turn again and read those information carefully

Number flashed and I stepped to the counter again.

Took oath

Very few basic questions and he took my left finger impressions again

He explained about domestic violence and harassment policies and told.me those magical words YOUR VISA IS APPROVED and gave me white sheet for the same.

I carried all documents to support but CO did not review.

Pfb documents required

Financial evidence

All my educational certificate

Work experience certificate

Resume

Chat logs

Emails and travel itenary for the placed we travelled

Be calm and confident and we will succeed.

Mumbai has been so pleasant for me.

Thank you

Congrats

What's wrong with asking for an earlier date? I am going to do that by all means. Every day counts for us.

Your interview is only a week away. What's the point in asking for an interview sooner than that?

Hi Guys, how are you? I am writing a blog in spanish with all the details about my process and NVC nightmare time...if you will like to get some help or know someone needs it in spanish I am answering comments and questions there....Have a good day!

My blog is https://volandoporamor.wordpress.com/

[Sekhvaruli 74]

Yes, it's called embassy reviews.

Thanks!

I wish it were arranged in a different way, though. There are very few interviews in the Georgian embassy, no recent ones at all. I would like to read all recent interview reports from all embassies in one topic. I believe, that would make sense - to show the recent trends.

We had our interview this morning in Jerusalem, and have been approved!

Surprisingly I was allowed to go in my husband and took the oath and did interview with him. Questions were very straightforward, obvious the CO had read all of our papers and knew our case well. Glad to know that someone read the substantial file we had prepared with such thought and effort. They didn't even ask for a paper we got in a checklist back in August (though of course we had it), they only asked for the original civil docs, passport and photos mentioned in the interview letter. The thick file we had with copies of everything we ever sent to NVC remained unopened. The CO was very nice, at some point I felt like I was doing too much talking (she started glancing over to my husband) so I just stayed quiet and let him take over.

At the end she said "you qualify for a visa, you're approved, congratulations!"

His visa is now being printed in his passport, they didn't say how long it will take, but it sounds like we'll get it back within a week or 10 days.

Hello everyone, i did not post allot in the forum but have been following every thread that has helped me answer all of my questions and go through the final stages of this process feeling more relaxed and able to see progress and similar experiences like mine. Yesterday was our interview at the embassy at the Dominican Republic at 8:00am. We got to the embassy at around 6:00am and it was already packed. We brought our 1 year old son with us and got sent to a line for people with kids and got a chance to enter the embassy much sooner than expected. we got number 29 and waited for about 20 minutes for our number to be called. The first time they called us the person only requested my wifes paperwork (police cert, marriage cert and medical exam), baby's birth certificate and naturalization certificate and gave me back a packet that was label additional documents, and told me those were everything i had sent NVC that was not needed. He then advised us to sit down and wait to be called again. After about 40 minutes of wait after that, we were called again, this time it was the official. She was a very nice lady and smiled all the way. She looked at the papers and everything was in order, didnt ask a single question eiher to me or to my wife and joked that we were about 1 out of 2 couples that were migrating to florida as everyone here in the DR usually go to new york,after writing something in the computer she then looked at the AOS and asked me if i had another sponsor besides me because my income wasnt enough i told her i did and that i had sent the sponsors i864 packet to nvc as well. It turns out they never got it and they were only showing me. She asked if i had a copy with me and out of all the information that i did have, that i didnt. it was frustrating, she gave my wife a white papre for her to mail in the packet and that she would hear from them as soon as they recieved the i864 from my sponsor. I asked if i could bring it myself to the embassy instead of mailing it and she told me i could. She gave me a embassy access pass to come back anytime until the 15th and to go to a specific window to hand everything in. I left very frustrated and when i got to my car and checked my phone (no phones allowed in embassy) i had recieved the full packet by carrier and was waiting for me to go pick it up... we were able to get it from the postal office and drive back to the embassy in about an hour. We went back to the embassy and once we entered i was able to go to the nice lady again, she looked at everything and said ok your vsa will be issued today and it will be delivered to the locaton you preselected. Checked ceac status yesterday and said administrative processing. Today i checked again and now it says issued!!!! i am so happy to have finally finished this process after starting it back in december of 2012. Just wanted to share my experience with al of you as this forum has been of incredible help to me once i decided to join as one of its members back in july. I appreciate all the help i found and how he spreadsheet allowed me to stay at ease while waiting for my interview.@@ Good luck to everyone waiting for there interview day to come and to everyone in this dreaded process...!!! WOOHOOOOO SO HAPPYYYY

Congratulations. So happy for you and your family.
