Random question:

Have you ever seen someone who got approved at their interview receiving a call or an email from the embassy requesting additional documents?

Do you wait until you receive your passport back before you start making your travel arrangements?

Seen it many times as the paperwork says do not make travel arrangements or quit jobs until you have Visa in hand.

I got approved at the interview, just had to sent them my BC.

After they got that, they emailed me that they needed my Updated AOS and then they mailed my my packet and passport.

I had my Interview today at the South African Consulate...... interview went well.. they ddnt ask to see any of my documents i had gone with,,, CO only asked for my Original Birth Certificate..... i had provided an Attestation of Birth... but he requested the Original Birth Certificate... he kept my passport and asked me to come with the Original Birth Certificate.. Only then will my Visa be Issued... Questions Asked were

Who is calling you

Whats your wife's Name

What does she do

Whats your relationship with Joint Sponsor

Where does she work

whats your wife's Phone number

Thats all, then CO said we cant issue visa at this time.. until i provide my original Birth Certificate

In all.. it was a nice experience.... they didn't ask for 2015 tax papers.. i was really stressed about that earlier.....

That's great!!!

Just to know, did you pay the $165 ?

I did pay the fee, also today called the uscis and apparently it can take up to 60 days. Wonder why they say three weeks at all.

[JyMu 12]

I've heard the green card can take a few months. (the passport stamp acts as a GC for a year).

For the SSN - Did you choose the option in your DS-260 to receive it automatically? If not, you have to apply at SSN office. If you did apply, and still haven't received it, call them at 1-800-772-1213.

.

Did apply for ssn in ds 260. Also I did call that number and it seems you need to have a ssn to be able to speak to a human there! I think I will just go to the local ssn admin and get this sorted. Green card can wait, this can't. I don't see any other option.

They won't answer you on the phone. Go to your local office and apply in person. You should then have your SSN in about a week.

Good to know. I was just going off the instructions that the consulate provided me with my visa package. It said if you didn't receive in 3 weeks, to call that number.

Thank you for the clarification.

Good Luck Ditdot!!! Keep us posted. You guys got this!

Wishing you the best...looking forward to hearing about the approved visa!

Best of luck Ditdot on your interview !! You can do it. It will be my turn the following day !!

Alright Ditdot yo got this. We have Champagne on chill waiting.

Thank you guys so much! The interview with the CO went well! Simple questions were asked then she said the words "You are qualified" ( I've heard the CO's here use that instead of the usual you are approved). She said that they didn't receive my PCC from the Fiji Police Headquarters and their (Embassy) server was down so I was going to be scheduled for another/second interview to take the oath and get the digital fingerprints done. She issued me a 221(g) white slip of course which indicates I have a missing document - which is the PCC which needs to be submitted asap She kept my passport and gave me back my original civil documents and the evidences I provided for our bona fide marriage (to the grumpy lady who was collecting the documents before the CO) but took the passport photos and original copies of the financial docs.

For those of you who are about to have their interviews - > breathe!(lol) Be the first to smile and say good morning - this makes me feel i have have things under control and gives me confidence

Yes it was better than I expected! I should be hearing from them in the next day or two about the second interview.

It's totally normal KiRilie! I was nervous in there looking at the number of people being denied BUT remember what you have is different from anyone else and you cannot base your assumptions on other people's circumstances. You will do great! I am sending out positive vibes to you and to the rest of youz who are about to have your interviews. They'll just be asking you things that you already know about your hubby and relationship!

I have SSN and Florida State ID, so with my passport i´m good for the first year. So i don´t need to do the GC as the first thing when i land
