Yesterday morning Passport status changed to "Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery." I hope my husband can pick it up today at the DHL location. I want his POE to be tomorrow or Sunday.

Congrats to everyone who received an interview date. And for the ones who have not the day is still young.

Yay, happy to see the progress! I hope things move along quickly so that your hubby can be reunited with you and your daughter by this weekend :)

The only fees associated with the CR1 visa are i130 petition filing fee of US$420 per person and the Immigrant Visa (IV) fee of US$325 per person. You pay nothing else at the consulate.

Once approved for the Immigrant visa, you get the option of paying for your green card either before departing for USA or after your arrival in the state of permanent residence. The fee for green card is US$165 per person.

Other associated fees for the process would be medical examination, passport renewal (if applicable) and passport-sized photos...to name a few.

Add also $ 120 for AOS processing.

I'm so happy to hear everyone's news! I'm praying for those who haven't heard to hear really soon. It's true what another member said, no one can understand the feeing of the happiness we feel to hear a date lol, this is quite a process and being apart is just very difficult but we have to keep on keeping onnnnn. Everyone who hasn't gotten their date yet and were completed in mid April or b/f, keep trying, you'll get your date too. Can't wait to see your news as well and then in the near future to hear about everyone's approvals. It's gonna happen soon for all of us!
