February 2016 Interviews

[ampabst 2]

Hello Every one....

my scan date was DEC 01 but today i found out that i have check list ... apparently i signed the document [i864ez] but forgot to date [which is not true ] and also i didn't include my 2014 Tax Transcript [ again not true ] .... so i already overnight the documents... should be their tomorrow mid day.....

my question to anyone here who was in the same/similar situation... was the case completed fast or doi have to wait for another 30 - 45 days :cry:

i know i have red one person case got complete in 6 or so days after check list.

I had a similar situation. First time they said they never received husbands birth certificate. I overnighted it and it arrived on a sat and they never received it...after calling for a couple weeks I resent one more time and they told me it wasn't a certified document. Husband had to travel to get a new copy from the state he was born. He got it notarized and an apostillado and we sent one more time. I received CC within 2 days of scan date for the final document and received 2-3 days after.

It took about 3 months total and I was told it could take up to 45 days to review any new documents from the scan date. However I received my CC within days of sending the correct document.

Sorry if that was kind of long but that was my experience.

After the interview is done they give you a slip that you can fill out with the delivery address and who to send it too via the EMS. You can track the delivery progress via http://www.ustraveldocs.com. Just register an account and you can track the status. You can request expedite delivery which is 1-2 day delivery vs 3-5 days. HCMC does not have local pickup. You can go to Cho Ray or the IOM either will do. Wife went to Cho Ray and got everything done in a day. Just be prepare to show up early to get ticket /in line.

Good morning/afternoon/night everyone!Just got off the phone with NVC..We got an interview date MUCH earlier than we anticipated!!February 3d!!That's only 28 days after CC!!Now I'm a little anxious to have everything ready by then!Oh boyyyyy!

But in about a month I'll finally get to be and start our life together with my husband!!!So happy about that...I also can't help but feel sad about leaving family and friends behind.I'm especially close with my mom so this is going to be hard..If anyone has any tips about dealing with that or is just in the same place I am feel free to message me.

New year and new wonderful beginnings!!!Good luck to everyone waiting for cc or interview dates!

APPROVED!

Thank you Lord.

This is based on the steps that i can recall.

Had my interview today. Went inside the USEM Manila at exactly 6:15 AM.First is giving the queuing number then the finger printing where u put left and right four fingers and both thumb. Second is the pre screening i think, staff asked me for my BC, MC, CENOMAR, and NBI (mine doesn't have AKA but was accepted). At this point she asked me of the countries i have been to other than PH, i told her USA only. Do u have any overstay? I told her none. She then asked me how long did u stayed there? A year and eighteen days. You have any waiver for your overstay? I told her its not required for the J1 visa bcos it has a 30 days grace period after your program ended. However she did not believe me and put a note on my file regarding this. I told her i have something from the us state website that i printed out. Also i still have ny DS 2019 available and she can look at it if she wish. After that she just asked me basic things like my birthday and date of marriage and where it took place. She then advised me to show the CO the printed copy of the FAQ (J1 exiting the program) from the us state website. Step three is were you take oath and right after that step four for the interview proper. Steps are pretty easy but what makes it somewhat complicated is the fact that theres a lot of people inside and sometimes the line staffs are also confused on which part of the seated applicants to call in first (queuing board isn't working) Its really crowded inside if i may add. Moving forward, here comes my time for the interview. It took me a while cos the CO was grilling me about my "alleged overstayed j1 visa".

CO: its written here that you have a j1 visa before can i have your old passport? Do u have a waiver for your overstay?

Me: i did not overstay the j1 visa because it comes with a 30 days grace period after the program ended. I have printed out a portion from your site which states this fact.

Co looked at my passport and previous visa and took my printed copy from their site.

Most of the questions the CO asked was from my internship before, what i did and what the program is all about. Only basic stuffs was asked regarding me and my husband, like how i met him, and have i known him before i had my J1. He finally said okay everything seems good i am approving your visa pls proceed to step 5 for releasing.

At this window they will tell you if you have to send them some lacking docs, or erroneous documents that you submitted which you have to resubmit luckily for me everything is all good. And was advised to wait for the visa.

That sums up my visa interview! Hope it can help some of you. Thank you everyone for the great help and here's to hoping ill have my visa soon!

to everyone still waiting for interview and will soon have their interview, good luck and just prepare all your documents and you're good to go!

No need to panic!Have you called them?It does seem like a long time to get an interview scheduled.Perhaps the other person you're talking about was expedited.The best you can do is call them (try option #4,this is to confirm an interview date) and tell them what you tell us.That it's been too long and other people are getting interview dates.NVC does not schedule interviews but they will know what could possibly be happening.I'm sure everything will work out!
