Hang in there - I know how hard it is to do, but the good news is you are in the 150 club, and I believe those are problematic for uscis - they need you approved so they can keep their 150 day average.  

I still recommend calling nvc 2x a week and talking to Tier 2 - (unless you talk to tier 2 it doesn't help)

Good luck

We spoke to some tier 2 officers the past weeks. Im on emotional breakdown right now. I feel like Im having extreme anxiety and I feel so down. Csc just sent us the response to our second inquiry but we have not received it yet from the mail. I hope its something good. I dont know what to do anymore. My fiance will have an infopass next tuesday too. I hope it helps.

Hey everyone.. have not been around much with work and planning and gathering all the stuff needed for interview and planning for the wedding.. etc. etc. and I am not even caught up on everyone's post, but wanted to give an update because I am super excited right now...
So, my F called the embassy this morning... which for us was just a few hours ago to find out how far out they are scheduling.. and as soon as they get the paper work from the NVC, he can schedule for whenever.. there is no wait time!! However, as of right now, the NVC still has the case =( so it could be another week or two before it even arrives at the embassy in his country I am gonna guess. Just so excited knowing that he will more than likely be here before his birthday on the 27th! =)
For any who are still waiting, I hope you get your NOA2's very soon so you can move forward in your journeys to be with your loved ones =)
Fingers crossed that everyone will be here before Christmas!!! Being with your loved one for the Christmas season is a gift in itself! And better late than never! AND if you think about it.. Christmas really is not that far away! AND then New Years is right around the corner after that!!!  AND AND OMG starting the new year with our loved ones!!!! I just can't wait! 
Happy times are ahead for all!!!!

So far I have three for current employment only, which matches the three attempts I made last night to do the DS160 and the first attempt minus the problem areas that were getting erased. I also posted this question in the K-1 Process and Procedures sub forum. Thus far it seems that what we saw in the first attempt was a fluke and not the norm. Interesting.

I don't remember having been asked about previous employers, but I remember I filled in the current one. So I'd go for that!

 

 Hey, your interview was on the 24th right? How did it go?

I've seen her picture on the starting page at the "recently approved" section. So: CONGRATULATIONS @KULtoATL!!! :)

[Eric&Olya 881]

Thanks everyone for your kind words

Sorry, it took me a while to reply, was busy travelling back home and cleaning everything after not being home for 6 weeks

 

@TearsOfBabylon - you would have killed us if you'd known how many stupid mistakes we made

First of all, Eric forgot half of the papers that he was supposed to bring - like his letter of intent. We had to print them out again before the interview. He never brought a copy of his RFE response. He was convinced that tax returns and W-2s were the same thing, and had only the latter.

We assembled all the documents nicely the day before, we double checked and triple checked the folders- only to find out before entering the embassy that I have no DS-160 confirmations, we left them at the apartment! I thought I would have a heart attack! Luckily, they let us in without them, and just scanned all our passports. Everyone at the embassy is extremely nice and helpful. USCIS staff should be sent to Kiev for an internship

Also, my son managed to get a really bad food poisoning - ambulance, hospital, 2 sleepless nights... Right between the medical and the TB skin test check. We ran away from the hospital on the day of Eric's arrival.

 

@Estibaliz - I am afraid now I've lost my reputation of calm and classy Absent-minded and freaking out would suit me better

Great news about the embassy!

And thanks for congratulating us Eric did come for the interview, but we are not moving just yet, we need too many tickets, so we can't afford last minute booking. Hopefully in October - November.

Hahaha, oh my!!! Olya!
What a ride! I'm glad it went out well for you!!!! 
I can imagine how that feels. I have not only double or fourplechecked my folder for the consulate... I think I've went through like 150 times. Then - although I knew it was in the handbag - I couldn't feel my passport in there when I was half way on the freeway. Sweat attack - rest spot stop - double check lol

All in all I didn't need ANYTHING at the consulate, besides from my passport and the appointment confirm. But..... haha
Next thing to freak out about if I don't feel it in the handbag right away will be my envelope for CBP - I know already, haha!

Scott made fun of me already, because I've put the envelope and the passport in 2 seperate ziplock bags, in case a flood comes. On third floor. In Bavaria.

Sooooooo.... lol

LOL, maybe not that calm anymore, but always the classiest lady

That sure was an adventure for you all, but the good thing is now you can relax... a bit

It's great to see you that happy and excited  Hopefully NVC won't delay too much from now and you can jump to the next steps.

And yep, Romania seems to be superfast. I know @rainbow.sprinkle was approved at the interview this week... and the interview was 22 days after being approved with NOA2 

You can't even start imagine how envious this makes me

Question for all who have submitted the DS160 and especially those who have already had their interview: When filling out your DS160, were you asked about: 1.Previous employment after filling out current employment info. 2.Education. 3.Neither.

I wish there were a way to create a poll.   Your participation in the survey is greatly appreciated!!

So far, 5 with current employment only (8 if you count my 3 attempts). 1 with all questions asked. Issue dates back to at least 2010 as far as I can tell from forum posts.

@KULtoATL Hey, your interview was on the 24th right? How did it go?

It was and my visa is approved I wrote a consulate review detailing every step of the way from arrival till the end. Look it up to have an approximate idea of what's coming your way. Did you schedule your interview yet?
