It took three days for us until we got a notification that passport has arrived at the pick up location. You can always track it on the UStraveldocs website.

Thank you!! :)  such kind words. 

 

Thank you!! :)   YAY.. You know I LOVE DANCING!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :) 

Thank you!! :) 

 

Thank you!! :) 

Thank you!! :) 

Thank you!! :) I'll def stick around for a bit more. Being a part of this wonderful VJ community has inspired me to look for jobs working in Immigration. hopefully I'll find something upon my return to the US.. Meanwhile, please keep up your strong/positive support here as well. Let me know the day you run out of "likes". You're limited to giving only 50 likes a day.. I'm already out.. 

Thank you!! :) 

Thank you!! :) You know I love dancing!! ;) Thanks for the dancers. ;)

Thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :)

 

Thank you!! :) Hope you get out of AP very soon!! Even though they said we were approved, I'm a bit worried as there computers were down.... Keep us posted. 

Thank you!! :)

 

Thank you!! :) So true what you say... Really grateful that it finally became an option for us.. We'll be celebrating 11 years together in October. We'll also be moving in October. So it's a new start and we hope to start a family via surrogacy and or adoption if all works well.  Thank you so much for your kind words. Very touching. Also I wish you the best. The NVC seems to be processing faster.. I'll be sending you positive energy/vibes in hopes you get that CC ASAP. ;) hugs sweetie! Please keep up the great work on the forum. ;) Love your energy and support you give our VJ community. 

 

 

Thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :) Will try my best. ;)

Thank you!! :)

Thank you!! :) 

 

Thank you everyone again for all of your support. Being a part of this community has kept me busy and made the entire process a lot easier.. I remember when I started this journey a year ago, I was so overwhelmed and was stressed out about it all.. But I wasn't active at all on the forum until reaching the NVC stage..  We were all at a lost, not understanding a thing on how the NVC processed our cases.. 

 

What I've learned by creating the spreadsheet.... 

 

Using a lawyer does NOT mean you're safe from receiving a checklist. Nor does it allow you to process your case faster. 

CC's timing is based on the country where you come from.. Even though the NVC tells us "they're processed in the order they're received".. YEAH but not everyone is trained to review every country or the language.. So this is why that logic is misleading... 

There is no such thing as "under review".. Well maybe there is but there is no average waiting time when you reach that department.. 

When you start to detest the NVC hold music, you have done one of 2 things if not both...Been on hold too long or have called too many times.. hahahah

Getting a checklist SUCKS!! Out of 254 cases on our spreadsheet, 70 cases received a checklist which delayed their case.. HOPEFULLY your info will continue to prevent future NVC filers from having one.. People have already posted on the forum stating they made corrections to their files based on the checklist feedback!! @trininurse, please keep tagging people onto your forum to share stories about their checklists.. Thank you to all those that received a checklist for all of your contribution. 

 

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I thank you all for all of your contribution and the creators of VJ!! Without all of us working together, we couldn't have learned what we have learned.. We would have been lost and even more frustrated with the process.. And alone.. It's been so nice to have a community to come to share this experience with. Even though we come from so many countries and visa types, we're a little bee colony working together to reach one goal!! GET THE VISA!!! So that we can be reunited with our loved ones, return home, work in the US and/or start a new life. Keep working away everyone helping newbies and supporting one another through the difficult/good times.. I'll stay around as long as I can and I hope everyone else does too!! Now it's time to dance!!! (oops, out of emojis- only 75 allowed)

BIG HUGZ!!! Wishing everyone GREAT LUCK!!!!

so, it is over also for you???? Congratulation and thank you for your interest

Still have not received notification of interview date for Port of SpainTrinidad and Tobago. CC date July 13, 2017. Have made several calls to NVC, standard response...Embassy as not given dates. Sent email to Embassy inquiring about interview dates. Email response was to contact "AskNVC". The initial response when I was advised CC date via phone was you should receive interview notce in about two weeks. Nothing yet. Any fellow Trinis have info on Septemer interviews in Port of Spain?

Good luck, worst embassy ever. It will take 2 months , so , your date will be in Sept, and you will notified by August 13, remember you can`t bring any electronic device and bring the w-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are approved, don`t even check the NVC website (my mistake), because it could be wrong and say "refused" and you will have the worst week of your life

 

My wife (she is from Trini) just got her visa....
