That's great news. Very soon you should have an answer.

It's been 8 days since my husband's interview and approval and so far every time I check the passport tracker I get the same old thing....... Passport Status : There is no status update available for the passport number submitted

,

If your status shows "origination scan", it means your passport has left the U.S. Embassy and is in transit to the delivery location you have chosen. It is however not available yet.

Only when the status shows "ready for pick up", it means you can go to the Aramex location you have chosen to pick up your passport.

So we just have to hang in there. I know the Thanksgiving days off will slow things down in the embassies this week. So now I suppose there may not be a status change until next week.

Thank you. Hopping you will hear good news and getting your visa in your hands very soon

In one of the letters I received from nvc I've noticed my husband's visa class was stated as IR-1, though we have been only marries for 10 months. Is that simply their mistake or that means anything?

Hi Vjers

I´m copying my experience here in this topic too to share with you that my interview was today 25th at 11am in USA Embassy in Lima - Peru.

And finally: APPROVED !!!!!!


First I want to thank God for this huge blessing !!!

And also thanks to all of you, that could help me with my questions, thanks dwheels because you suggested me to ask about the support with my passport and they are going to help me: I only need to go to DHL after my trip to Cozumel Island, then I can leave my passport in DHL office and Embassy will send it to DHL again including the visa.


Just for your information, these were the questions:

- Do you speak English? - I said yes (but my interview was in Spanish)

- My complete name

- Where and when did you meet your husband?

- What happened after you met him in that app? - She refers about when we met personally and also I talked about my B1/B2 visa, so she asked for my old passport.

- What do you like the most from your husband? - In this part, I got emotional talking about him, I was thinking about his face and the way he is with me and awww he´s my sunshine !

- Why did you start the paperwork on March if you got married on December ? - I explained because of the wedding we did not have the money to send the papers before.

- Also she said: Dont you see him since the wedding? - I said no, because I went to USA for his birthday in October, so I don´t see him since last month.


She took my old passport and with my B1/B2 Visa...and she has cancelled my tourism visa with a big stamp.

Then she said: your visa is approved, you can get your passport in 5 - 10 days (because it´s Thanksgiving tomorrow + Black Friday, so I´m losing like 4 days this week)


Oh myyyy... such a wonderful moment !!!!!!


In that moment I asked her a support, because we will have our honeymoon next week (it´s our 1st wedding anniversary) and I need my passport to go to Mexico, so she asked when I will go back and gave me the option to send my passport through DHL and they will receive it, stamped it and send it back by DHL.


That was all... many questions but I answered them with a honest heart and I´m sure she realized it.


I wish you all good luck on this process.... It took 9 months for us, but finally is done !


Thanks Visa Journey !

This is a great forum, I´m not going to forget you people !!!

Hey guys, we sent an expedite request on November 20 but we haven't got any email at all yet.

For who sent expedite requests, did you get any confirmation that they got your email before they give the final decision( approval or denial ) or its just the final decision without any confirmation after you sent the email.

If you got that confirmation ,before the approval or denial, when did you get it after you sent the request ?

Thank you so much

We are confused wether to send the request again or wait???

Thank you again ?

I sent my expedite request on Sept 29th. On October 2nd I received the email that says the request is under review and has been forwarded to the embassy. On October 7th, the final decision was made: it was approved.

However, things may be different now because it is the busiest time of the year. You may have a longer wait as a result.

My husband has his visa, and returned home for a few days to pack and say goodbyes and then he flies out Nov 29th! :joy:

So after a month since cc confirmation, we still dnt have an interview date. Apparently they put us on sup review after cc, which is a code for all inexplicable NVC things. Anyway, since then we have asked for an expedite. Maybe we will hear something next week. Approval or denial either way we have missed the bus, it looks like January is what we will get.

So on AP right after the interview on 11/20. The Embassy received the document we didn't have on the day of the interview on 11/23. We are still on AP but I notice that there was an update on 11/25.

I guess they are working on the case.

Thats good news, lets hope nothing is delayed in your case...Also I hear a lot of people go into AP after interview so this might just be routine processing since they got what they requested already :)
