Case Complete to Interview June 2016

[Hansona 11]

This visa journey is very stressful. Especially, when you are doing mostly of the parts by yourself alone.I wonder any other feel like me. I am an USC petitioner. My husband doesn't even have a clue of this process. I am the one filled the forms, organized the documents, called USCIS and NVC many times, looked for the house, tried to enroll my kid in school, contacted movers and insurances. One of my friends asked him about how was the process, he replied.. "arrrrrrrrr.. it is not bad ..you just need to be patient ". I don't know what to say.

I completely agree! I know how you feel. This whole process is extremely stressful. I also did all of the paperwork and have been pulling my hair out with all the work that needed to be done. I'm just so happy the journey is almost over now and looking forward to my husband's interview on Monday. That's the final step. You've done a great job! Keep up the good work and you will be rewarded at the end of it all.

You are definitely not alone! You know what does help? Driving in the car with the music blasting and just singing at the top of your lungs! I always seem to feel better after that.

This whole process is an emotional rollercoaster. I've wanted to punch someone in the THROAT during this NVC stage especially. The waiting sucks. No doubt about it. This forum is good about listening and empathizing.

We all hold on to the hope that one day in the future (maybe not in the near future but in the future) we will look back at this process and wonder how we made it through, because we WILL make it through, and perhaps have a good chuckle over the mad people we became.

Be encouraged that there are lots of us on here feeling the same way, you're not a lone, and this will all be a memory soon enough.

[Hansona 11]

Wow congrats to all the approvals and interview dates????????. God is truly our source....He is so amazing!!! Hubby and I have been praying for the Ghana Embassy to change the hearts of the people their to be fair and just in their decision making...we have to continue to intercede and lift the consulars up and the entire staff (because I know their jobs are difficult...especially in the high fraud country) as well as those that are being interviewed.

Remember, we all have the victory and by faith we will endure with strength and confidence??

Agreed! Thank you for the uplifting words.

Welcome...looking forward to the good news on Monday??

[Damilolly 1]

I'm so happy!

I just got an email with letter attached from NVC to confirm that I'm now in the queue for an interview at the US embassy in London and it would be within 60 days, even though it was only last week they emailed to confirm they got my package sent 4 weeks ago. Lol I'm not complaining; as long as they're working behind the scene.

How long does it take to get an interview scheduled? Please point me in the direct to getting ready for my interview in London etc.

Thank you.

[LinJoe 117]

Tomorrow will be the interview day.

Hubby arrived yesterday.

Booked a vehicle to go to the embassy.

All set..!

Now In God's hand...!

Just read online about Sri Lanka having a massive landslide and lots of families missing. I hope you and yours are ok. I hope it doesn't effect your interview! Good luck!!!

So, this morning while sitting in horrible traffic I read this and chuckled. Not at you but with you...because there have been times where I wanted to scream or scratch someone's eyeballs out with dull fingernails. The ironic thing about this post is that just last night I was telling my husband that this process is "getting oooooooooooooold" (and I emphasized old in that exact manner). And I added that I can't take anymore and ready to fight. He laughed and told me, "just relax, relax." Well he has the patience of something or someone from another light year...which is a good thing in some respect because I am the polar opposite. But I went on to explain to him how this process is like having another job (but I am so glad that I didn't pay someone else to do it for me) and I have been consumed by paper, pens, binders, folders, markers and tabs and if I NEVER EVER SEE ANOTHER FREAKING OFFICE SUPPLY I would not complain and it wouldn't bother me one bit. And (I know it's not grammatically correct to start a sentence with AND but I did it), it seems that I have been doing everything that he has not a care in the world because he knows that "I got it."

I say all of that to say this....yes, this process can get the best of you. It's not so much the tons of paper that you go through but the wait. I have made it a point to ensure that whatever phase we enter that I explain every (and I mean EVERY) detail to him..not because I want him to feel my pain (well kinda) but because I want him to truly understand the process. So now here we are about 5 business days from the interview, and boy have the tides changed but poor little thing is starting to see it (he doesn't know that I know--my mother-in-law keeps abreast). I think that it will all come to fruition for him when the days draw nearer and he's sitting in front of the CO (if he hasn't done that yet). And (yes, I did it again)..men are built to be tough on the outside, he's not going to let you or anyone see him sweat. So, yes, it does feel like a lonely road, you are a party of one and your better half often leaves you speechless because they not get the full magnitude of what this encompasses--in the end it will be all worth it and your frustration will be a thing of the past.

Speaking alot of truth yet again. This process is draining and they really don't understand. He who feels it knows it. Lol. Only the strong survives I guess.
