February 2016 Interviews

Oh well, here comes one of the most unusual scenarios. dwheels76, do you know is there some kind of format available for case transfer request from one embassy to another one? I am not able to locate one this website so far.

There's no format but alot of logistics on your part. You have to now contact Rangoon and request your petition be transferred to them. The embassies than contact each other. There's no format just tell them whats up and what needs to be done.

Case was complete 1/8, called this morning and was told interview is 2/25.

Does anyone know if it's possible to contact the embassy and get an earlier date scheduled if possible? My husband and I are possibly having to look at a waiver and I need it to be done and filed ASAP if so. I'm getting farther along in my pregnancy and don't want to be apart anymore.

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!

Congratulations. That's great news.

Please am really getting worried now.... I got a case complete on November 24 and yet to get interview.. But I see someone on the same consulate as mine get a case complete this Jan and already have interview scheduled for February... Dwheels pls how is the interview scheduled... I believe its by who gets a case complete first... Pls someone calm me down.. I am so getting impatient now... What could be the reason

Have you called NVC and asked them? When was the last time you called and did you verify your case complete date?

The petitioner is a citizen right not a LPR?
