Alright so I just scheduled my interview for October 11th at 8:30am not that the time matters from all consulate reviews.  Will schedule my medical soon. OMG so excited.

Interview time was at today at 1pm (Romanian time) (3am our time) I waited a VERY painful 1hr and 45 min until I got the call from my F ... his words? Baby, I now declare us husband and wife!!

VISA APPROVED!!!

Although he was one of the first in line, after he had gotten through security clearance, he had been skipped over 2-3 times which is why it took soooo long. I was getting so worried because I know, based on what others have said, that interviews generally only take 10-20 min! The actual interview itself was only about 10 min.

Some of the questions they asked:
*How did you two meet?   When he replied online, they then asked
*Where online?  When he said in World of Warcraft they then asked
*Oh, you guys play World of Warcraft? (with great interest lol) What avatar do you play? What avatar does she play?
*Have you two met in person? Yes
*Have you been to the United States? No
*Has she been to Romania? No
*Where did you two meet in person?
*Does she have kids?
*What are their names?
*Are you aware of her previous relationship and divorce?
*How long ago was her divorce?
*How does your parents feel about the relationship?
*Then asked some questions in regards to the age difference
*Then jumped back to World of Warcraft (lol) What was her avatars name when you two met?
*Oh, she plays a priest AND a warlock? (lol)

He will soon be traveling back to his home town and then we can start looking at airfare again... but, prices have gone sky high since gas has gone sky high... so, that is a bit frustrating. AND he will have his visa and passport in 2-3 days.
And by the sounds of it, there is going to be MANY more approvals right around the corner!!
 

EDIT: I pushed real hard to make this happen a month after NOA2!!

Congratulations, Holly!  Great news! 

Wish you to reunite shortly and a traditional happy ever after!

Is there anyone here willing to give me their receipt number that has already been approved after or before March 16th so I can prove to these nice ppl at USCIS that their information is false. I am a day away I swear from giving up...I just need proof. Also the case can not be a case that was expedited. You can send it through messenger if you like but I am tired of waiting and playing games with these ppl

Well took a break from VJ. Update is we are 170days still no NOA2 but in the eye of hurricane Irma in Florida so that will keep my attention for now. For all the ones that have received there approvals and fortunate to begin there journey to be with there love ones congrats!!!!!!

 

Just hang in there guys! I feel you pain but time flies and your approval is on its way. 

Keep believing in positive! At least that's what we're trying to do while our case is stuck at NVC. 

Huggs!

Congrats on all the recent approvals for everything! So wonderful. I am so pumped just made my Medical Appointment for 8:30am October 3rd in Montreal. Means Mum and I are gonna be staying just over a week since my interview is October 11th. But we have plans to take the train to Ottawa and visit my sister Claire.  She works for the finance department of the Canada Government in Ottawa. We also have plans to do some sightseeing. The guy I talked to at Medisys in Montreal was soooo nice.

Well, guys, we've got not really good news today. 

Called NVC to figure out why we are still "at NVC" status. 

 

Our case is undergoing through administrative procedures. They are unable to give a time frame. And we have to wait until they'll notify us via email for further instructions once it is released. No further information can be obtained during this time. 

 

We will call again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and so on and so far. This is the only thing we can do now for only God knows how long.

I'm not even upset or frustrated, I guess lost is the only word that is more appropriate. 

 

After I read this I looked, and my case was marked "Administrative Processing" - I called NVC and spoke with Hank and according to Hank it is the embassy that has done this. He was not able to give me any specific reason why this was the case, only mentioned that it needed some extra processing. I called the embassy and have thus far been unable to find the right combination of buttons to press to speak with an actual person.

When you guys were in the between USCIS approved and NVC received phase, did you try and call USCIS to find out if they shipped your case to NVC yet?

If you have the the USCIS app for Android or Iphone you can see hundreds of case receipt numbers that were approved for I-129F AFTER February.

Having said that the USCIS is half correct the answer is they are still working February cases which is true they still have people from January even that have not yet been approved

Until they have all the February cases complete they will not state that they are actively working on March or April.

You don't really need the NVC # for the DS-160, as they specifically ask for the USCIS receipt number. So yes, you can start working on it, just don't submit it at least until the case shows as 'Ready' on the ceac website or you get word from your Embassy, depending on how things specifically work for your country. Actually that's what the NVC # is good for, tracking the processing of your case, as well as being needed in some countries to be able to book the medical and so on.

You can fill out the form for your fiance if you want to, but he should be the one signing and submitting it, as he's the visa applicant and all the info refers to him.

Payment is also country specific. Take a look to the US embassy website for your country, or at the VJ'S portal.

Good luck!
