My fiance had his interview yesterday and he was approved!

I think I'm one of the last to get the visa - our case was ready for interview on Jan 26th, but we were traveling together outside of his country for several months, so we scheduled the interview for after he got back.

We are getting married on August 20th in Sedona, Arizona, an outdoor wedding on the red rocks. I just bought my fiance's ticket to fly here on August 10th. Didn't wait to have the visa in hand as recommended, but since the ticket is for almost three months from now I feel pretty confident we'll be ok.

Congratulations to everyone on here who has finished the process. Love hearing all the lovely wedding stories. I can't wait to have my fiance here.

You must be one of the last. Posts are getting few and far between but here's a big FELICIDADES to you both on such a long wait and getting a successful outcome. You both have some time to refresh, regroup, and focus on wedding stuff before the second part of your immigration journey: Adjustment of Status. Congrats again.

Thanks a lot! Congrats to you too on the greencard ... I can only dream of his getting approved that quickly once he's in the US!

The wait was entirely our own doing and we were together the whole time until 2 weeks ago, so I have nothing to complain about. I'm going to get together all the AOS documents, minus the marriage certificate of course, before he arrives so that we can send the AOS docs ASAP after the wedding.

There's still some of us out there. :) No visa yet. My fiance has his interview in London June 17th. He will be moving here to Seattle in August. I just spent 10 days in England and he was here in February. So we have had some time together. I think there are still a few more waiting for visas.

Yup still some of us out there, my fiance and I are just sitting patiently waiting. Our interview is scheduled for August 1st - I will be out there for the entire week leading up to the interview and then leaving the day after the interview. He will fly over by himself once he gets the visa - I would stay longer but we are not sure how long Cuba takes to administer the visa. So with only 7 vacation days left for the year, I'll save 2 for the honeymoon! Good luck to those Nov filers that are left - I pray you're reunited with your loved ones soon.

Everything you are asking is in the guides. Check them out. They are very useful. I used them for my AOS process. All the answers are there
