Case Complete to Interview May 2016

[Rosegrove 86]

Whoa, almost got a heart attack this morning when I saw an email from NVC with a Checklist just 2 days after our CC was confirmed via phone. But it's all good ; they are just asking for the 2015 IRS transcript (which my hubby could not get in time) and I can bring it to the interview. I wish that nice lady at NVC would have told me that when I called them on Monday though; could have saved me from the shock after waking up :-P

Six days to go for interview. I did get the children expedited to do interview at the same time. Where has the time flown....I pray all our vjers family the best of luck that we all get approvals. This is such a family site...Dwheels at the helm guiding and informing. God will see us through that we can get this process over with and finally be with our spouses as a family.

How exciting. Almost there. So glad you will all be together. It will be fine so just enjoy the ride.

And thank you for the kind words.

C'mon, Dwheels! Your Swedish genes should help keep you calm (HEHEHEHEHE!)

Inside joke, VJ peeps. Inside joke.

It feels so good to finally make it to this thread. Thanks again dwheels76.

Welcome to the group. You are added to the spreadsheet.

[dwheels76 5,468]

He's been Approved!! Big sigh of relief! And we didn't need the envelope or postage in the end, since we'd registered with the CSC beforehand. Wow! What a day. I'm kinda in shock. But very very happy.

I thought we were gonna have to pay another fee there, but we didnt. I presume the only fee left is the Greencard one we do online?

Congratulations. That's great news. And great information you know you can go to the info page of your portal and update with that so people don't get confused.

[dwheels76 5,468]

Now lets get some bottles of chilled 17:59 and drink to that Congratulations!!!

I like where your minds at. But I might drink all day everyday into a coma I swear. hehe

Dwheels I know how you feel, we'll get through this together. 2 days left to go for us and I'm experiencing so many different emotions . Anxiety for sure and doubt is creeping in as well, but each time it does I'm doing my best to cast it down. I keep replaying how I think the interview will go in my head (even though we have no idea what they will ask lol). My husband doesn't even want to think about it, I can't blame him. Our file was touched yesterday, hasn't been touched today so I know they're doing their checks.

Forum members please please please pray for us. There's power in unified prayer so please petition heaven on our behalf . I'd be very grateful. This is our second rodeo at the Lagos embassy (our K1 was denied back in 2014 for lack of evidence) and although we're way more prepared this time around I'm still a bit apprehensive. This is a blessed thread and I try and keep that in mind each day that passes.

Amen in unified prayer. Where 2 or more are gathered. It is well.

[dwheels76 5,468]

First of all good luck to everyone having interview this week and Congrats to everyone who has been approved in the last weeks. I have a question. My husband's interview in 6 days in Port au Prince Haiti. The time say 8 am. Would it be 8 AM Haiti time or 8 AM the NVC time because Haiti is 1 hour behind.Please advise.

Thank you

8am local time in Haiti

For anyone who is interested, I've submitted a review of our interview experience today:

We arrived at the consulate at 12:50pm for appt at 1:00pm. I expected to be turned away like a lot of other spouses and fiances seem to have been in the reviews before this one. Surprisingly, they allowed me to attend the interview with him, and be a part of the whole process at every window. Everyone working there was very friendly and chatty. When we arrived, we were called to one of the windows to check in, and then told to sit down. Then we were called up to another window to submit original and copy documents to a woman who asked us a few questions. (Birth cert, marriage cert, affidavits, tax forms, etc.) We were told to sit back down and wait to be called again. I was glad I got to come in with the Husband, because we kept each other company and had a good laugh while we waited, since they take away your phone and all electronics before you arrive. We ended up waiting for nearly 2 hours before we had the actual interview, because there were several others ahead of us in the waiting queue... (a J1, a CR1, and another IR1, who ended up being declined because he was missing a form, the poor lad.)

When we were finally called up to the last window for the actual interview, the consulate officer was really friendly. The first thing he did was compliment us on how well organized we were with all our forms and documents. (THANK YOU VJ!) He said the amount of people that show up missing documents or not having things properly filled out was quite a lot, so it was nice to work with our file. He asked us about how we met, what our plans were up arrival to the US and where we plan to live, how our sponsor was related to us, about our kids, and what Husband plans to do for work.

He then made a few jokes. We had a bit of small talk. Over all, the whole process was super easy and nice. He said, "Congratulations! You have been Approved!" at which point, my husband said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" and gave me a big kiss. HAHA!

Because I registered with CSC website beforehand via the link that was sent to us through email by the Embassy back when the interview date was assigned, we did not need to pay extra for postage or submit the A3 envelope. I designated for us to collect the visa/passport from our local DPD courier, which the consulate officer said should be available to collect within 10 days.

All in all, the whole day was a very positive one. Now our real adventure begins!!

Awesome review. That is so cool. Glad you were there with him.

Thank you for the response my fellow vj'ers. 5 days until my husband's interview. Sending out positive vibes to eveyone especially the ones with interviews this week and this coming week. In Jesus name I am claiming approval for all the interviews on this thread.
