[dwheels76 5,468]

hey everyone i received 3 N/A's today! my scan date is November 30, 2015

Congratulations. I have added you to the spreadsheet. Welcome to the group.

[dwheels76 5,468]

I am still having issues with DHL tracking even after reading many posts about the topic.

Most examples provided are with dates in the range 10-31.

How about dates in the range of 1-9.

NVC rep told me last night that my case had been forwarded to Singapore Embassy but i could not find any single packages.

So in Shipper´s Reference field I enter - EXP 06 JAN 2016A and select appropriate date range and destination Singapore but none found.

Am I doing something wrong or is it the case that NVC has not sent my package yet.

Thats not how it works. You have to play with the EXP dates. and the EXP 06 is too soon. Here is my findings.

I used EXP 28 DEC 2015A

Date range should always be the day before 27-12-2015 and leave current date.

There's no Singapore. It might show up friday. It's really better to just keep eyes on the ceac.state.gov tracker to say READY

dwheels76,

I played along with it a little bit more and i finally found tracking for my case.

It's EXP 05 Jan 2016A for shipper reference and set date range to Jan 5 to Jan 7. When I signed up for delivery notification, I received this from DHL. I called NVC last night and this morning. The two different reps told me the same thing that they sent out my case on Jan 6. I am pretty sure this shipping info is for my package.

Well, CEAC web site is not shown 'transit' but it says 'CURRENT PROCESSING SITE: SINGAPORE'.

Pickup Date: 2016-01-06 13:37:00
Estimated Delivery Date: 2016-01-11 23:59:00

Hello everyone!

I have one little question and I`ll ba happy to hear any advice.

I have my CC date on NOV 24th and right now I`m impatiently waiting for interview date. And I have already got originals of AOS from my husband. At NVC stage he was unemployed so we wrote it into AOS and his dad is my co-sponsor. But soon after he got a job and now he works. Should we change AOS or leave it the way it was sent to NVC? I heard embassy likes fresh docs and I thought it might be a good thing to show that things are going better right now.

What should I do?

[K&K M 8]

Has anyone had an interview scheduled this week?

[Kim♡Michael 0]

Hi guys! The embassy emailed us we would receive Packet 3 shortly. My question is - should IR1/CR1 expect Packet 3? We read somewhere in this forum that only Packet 4 (but not Packet 3) is usually sent for IR1/CR1 applicants.

Another question is - how do they send those packets: by mail or email?

[LHEtoNYC 4]

hey everyone i received 3 N/A's today! my scan date is November 30, 2015

Lol isn't the 3 n/a's one of the most exciting steps in the process? lol my wife and I felt like we had won the lottery lollll!

Someone above asked about emails...we got the confirmed CC (via 3 n/a's + confirmation through NVC via phone the day after) on Dec 29 and received the confirmation email of CC on Jan 5. Still no paper letter for CC nor any email for interview scheduled date.

[Nkkystel 8]

Nkkystel,

You are already approved. I noticed they've already made decisions before the interview. Thanks for great wishes, it shall be over soon. I'm still in Lagos till I get my passport next week.

Amen and a big thanks for wishing me well.

[ndkellys 6]

Our interview went well yesterday. I attended with my husband and they asked him just a few basic questions in the interview part: How, when, and where did you meet? What language did you speak together the day you met? Why was your wife in France when you met her? When did she return to the U.S.? Where do you live now and where does your wife live? What does she do for a living? What company does she work for? When was your wedding? How many people attended? Was your family there? Was her family there?

They never asked for more evidence of our relationship. The only additional papers they wanted were originals of his birth certificate, our marriage certificate, his police certificate (casier judiciare). They also wanted the first page of our interview letter, the copy of the ds-260 completion, and the email indicating we had registered our appointment with usinfo. They also asked if I wanted to update anything in the i-864. I told her that I had a new original if she wanted it but nothing had changed and she declined to take it. She gave us back one of the passport style photos.

At the end she told us Felicitations! They kept his passport and told us we should get his passport back in 10-12 days.

I am so relieved and excited. Good luck everyone! Hang in there even though our journey has been relatively short it has been hard to endure the waiting and not knowing how it would turn out and when we would be reunited. I won't feel completely settled until I have him in my arms in the U.S. Thanks to everyone who has written in here. I can't express how much that has calmed my nerves to read about others' experiences and know that we are not alone in this process.

Hello guys I have a question about the interview...what should I sent regarding AOS do you mean about the i864 form because when we sent that to NVC we didnt make a copy ,so is this going to be a problem ?
