Issued! The interview was on December 2nd, on the 5th SEAC status changed to Administrative Processing and today, on the 7th it says Issued. Now it's carved in stone finally and I am out of any doubt

I did do a lot of front loading. I even sent them a 25 page child art style book I made (which I let the kids color) that explained our whole story with pictures instead of words.

Thank you! When my husband was approved I was so happy, I cried like a baby. When I saw the visa today, I was back to the Kleenex box again. I had better have plenty of tissue in my pocket when I meet him in the airport, because I know I'm going to be a mess.

So I called the NVC today and the rep told me, that our case has officially been completed yesterday, which means that all the other times I called it wasn't even though I was told so?

Anyway, that mean our cc date is Dec. 7 and now we have to wait again (usual time to get an interview scheduled at the Embassy in Frankfurt about 40-60 days). So now we have to wait another month or more for an interview date...how frustrating...

i dont know what they gona ask ...

guys please help who had their interviews ..

what kind of questions they can ask

my visa type is IR-1 / CR-1

Thanks

If you read the interview reports,you can see, that there are 2 questions that they ask everyone : how did you meet your spouse and what does your spouse do. Very often the conversation does not go beyond these 2 themes. If you give good answers the CO gets completely satisfied.

So, preparing Perfect answers to these questions is a clue to successful interview. My husband and me did that.

Hey guys my husband just finished his interview. He said they didnt ask to see no pictures or any documents other then the ones sent from the nvc.

All he has to do is get his medical exam done and send it to them and he will recieve his passport back with his visa.

Thanks for all the help
