Good luck. Our interview went well. I think it makes a big difference when you go with your fiancée during interview. It shows that your relationship are real. Did not even get asked about support paper. And interviewer just look at the photos we submitted on the original I-129 application. Asked how many times I visited her and where some of the pictures where taken.

Now just waiting for her passport back.

God luck to others as well. This has been an interesting journey so far.

I wish I could go with him' but I have to work ;( don't have much time off to use cuz I went to see him twice and I need that time off for when he comes to take care of things like social security drivers license etc.

Good to know it went smoothly. I'm making him over prepared for everything, including the answer of why isn't she here? Ha ha ha ha

Thanks for the feedback :)

*Update*

Whew! Finally... just got off the phone with NVC and rep said my case was received yesterday, but no case number yet :dancing:

I see the light!!! Maybe by tomorrow they'll have a case number (hoping) :)

Awesome, things will pick up now :) my NOA2 date is 4 days past yours, I wonder if that means they'll receive my case soon. It has been 22 calendar days for me. Maybe they're being sent to the NVC out of order? Sounds like some people haven't gotten info after almost a month.

The embassy just called my fiance! :dancing: They sent him the checklist by email. Told him to not worry about medical just yet that is one of the last things. Once he is done with check list he is suppose to email them and then they will set his interview date and get the medical started.

He is having trouble finding his vaccination records. Getting confusing info from his mom. How does he go about that?
