Apologies for the delay, wonderful VisaJourneyers. Hubby went for his interview June 19th at the Atlanta Field Office and was preliminarily approved in 18 minutes!  It was, by far, the fastest experie

No and I didn't want to ask. She was nice but she was like in a hurry. I guess we'll just have to wait!

Dallas- Peeps! Any one got interview ? My status is stuck in FP Scheduled Notice. 

 

To all good fellow filers. I have a quick question. I am planning a trip outside USA from  17 April to 6 May- Will you think i might get interview appointment date  during this time ? i have noticed people get interview appointment exactly 1 month after the letter. Let's say I am one lucky son of a gun and get an interview letter tomorrow will that be first week of May or may be later ?

True. Strangely, seems many of the people in October who filed through Phoenix are getting through, but the people, like me, who filed through Texas aren't moving much. I know Memphis is slow as. Back to waiting :)

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
