February 2016 Interviews

[Jenvds 15]

Hello February Interview members!!!!

Has any one used any method to track the packages from NVC to your respective embassy?

I found this but do not know if works. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I used it. It worked!

Our package was shipped January 12 so I searched Jan 11. Once I found our package I copied the Waybill number and then just tracked it from there. It was sent the 12th and received in Amsterdam on the 14th.

Congratulations. That is a big step.

Thank you, I'm very excited that it was approved!

I did notice it worked but how do you know when your packet is mailed? Same day of CC or how many days after.

I guess you know that something is getting there.

Whats is the difference between waybill and the long tracking number starting with J ?

What can I do with either number? Is it for just one package (visa) or a packet with a batch of visas?

I used the date that our case was marked "in transit". Then I tried the day before that and the day after. It turned out to be the day before. We never got a cc date because we were expedited. Dwheels76 said in general I could use the day that our expedite was approved as our cc date, but I didn't get our lawyer to send our packet until more than a week later.

I know that many cases aren't sent immediately after cc. A lot of time they aren't sent until closer to the interview date.

I would just keep an eye on CEAC and wait for "in transit" then start looking on DHL a day or so later.

I don't know anything about tracking numbers starting with "j". The Waybill number is just what DHL calls tracking numbers as far as I can tell.

Oh, but CEAC seems not to update in REAL time, that thing seems to lag a lot.

The tracking number is the one that pops up when you click on ITEM on the far right. Knowing that number you just can go straight to tracking.

How can I use the airbill number?

I just figured out you can track with either number. You will get the same results.

[AmainElvin 1]

Our status now at ceac website changed to "Ready". Im so excited!

[dwheels76 5,466]

Wow... I made it! Visa granted! Actually interview was on 14th January, so sorry guys details is coming late (preggers things).

Hubby came in on 13th to join me. we woke up exactly 4:30am on Thursday morning having set an alarm. Drove off at 5:45am and got to the embassy 6:45am.

I quickly came down from the car while hubby was still looking for a place to park. There we the rolls, I knew one would be for immigrants and the other non-immigrant. I asked which was for immigrants and swapped.

We were asked to bring out our Int'l passport, interview letter and then medical report envelop should be open.

After this, I was allowed to go into a hall were documents were checked and then transferred to another section in same hall where the interview letter will be submitted. After submitting my interview letter, my name was cross checked on the list they had with them and then ticked. An entry pass was given to me. This pass allows for entry into the embassy where one will be screened again and then interviewed.

We were called in 5s, went into a screening room were I had to remove my wrist watch, drop my bag into a tray, some pulled their shoes, belts etc. All these went thru a screening machine.

After this, I walked down into another building were I was asked to press a B-button by the door, it ended up giving me a piece of paper that had a number on it and my number was B450.

Hmmm... I got into the interview hall, saw some people sitting while some were standing. I joined the queue, the guy in charge quickly called me up to come sit cos of my condition (pregnant). I got into the hall around 8:32am and at 10:45 my name was called at Window 12, where a black mama had to do document screening. She asked for my Int'l passport, the little paper given to fill out my name and address. I immediately brought out all civil docs as I learnt here on VJ and handed it over. She was like hmm...GOOD! She returned all the pictures and passport we sent to USCIS and NVC. So, I asked her if I could leave cos I was tired already and she said do you want to leave I said no, I tot you are through with me. She laughed and said don't worry I'm going to expedite your file so you can go.

Less than 10 mins, my number B450 popped up at Window 1 where a white guy was standing.

I got there, smiled and greeted him.

Me: Good Morning sir!

CO: Good Morning

CO: He raised his right hand saying... Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

Me: I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

CO: Take your finger print.

Me: I did.

CO: Who is ....?

Me: Smiling... Mr.. is my husband.

CO: Where did you meet?

Me: We met at ... (while he kept typing on the computer, I brought out all my documents as arranged in each folder).

CO: How long have you known each other?

Me: 20??

CO: When was the last time you saw him

Me: He's around now, he came in yesterday.

CO: Can I have your wedding pictures.

Me: I opened the first page - This is our traditional wedding pix while this is our white wedding. I opened the second page and he said that was okay by him.

CO: Is that a gift

Me: No,it's a traditional cake.

CO: I gonna issue you visa.

Me: Smiling.. thank you!

CO: You pick it up in 10 days @ this address.

CO: When are you expecting your baby?

Me: This month - EDD is next week.

CO: So you are in your 39th week.

Me: Yeah!

CO: You said your husband is around before now when was the last time you saw him

Me: October

CO: before October when was the last time you saw each other

Me: April our first wedding anniversary - that was when I took in. I knew he was asking all these cos of my pregnancy.

My interview was less than 2 mins. I give all thanks to GOD ALMIGHTY for making it a success. I won't forget to thank dwheels for her encouragement - you've been a sister and over supportive. Also, to DonT, Manent, Laddu, Rian and other VJ members for their support. I love you all!

God bless y'all!

Awwwww you are so kind Sis. I have tears. (happy). You are smart o. Way to be wise and not rattled. Now can't wait for that miracle baby to be born.

I guess you can't fly at all right.

Congratulations again. I love happy news like this.

Hi guys I have an upcomong interview , but my case status still shows at NVC is this normal ?

Your interview is over a month away. This is very normal . Expect it to go out probably after 1st week of February. It's way too soon now.

[dwheels76 5,466]

I'm wondering the same since my interview is on 02/26 and my status says the same...at NVC.

There's no need to call embassy or wonder. It's way too soon for petitions to be sent out. You are a month away. NVC usually send out 2 to 3 weeks befre interview so expect maybe end of next week or 1st week in February.

[dwheels76 5,466]

Got email this morning from NVC that expedite request was accepted and case will be forwarded immediately to Embassy, I'm so happy !

Awesome. Congratulations on the expedite. Keep us posted when you get dates and such.
