I just got a call from Shehide and her visa was approved! We did a video chat and I could tell the outcome by her smile without her saying a word. They asked her 3 questions during the interview. 1. When did you meet your fiance? 2. How did you meet? 3. When did he give you your engagement ring? She picks up her visa next Wednesday and her flight is scheduled for October 30th. Edona will get to go trick or treating for the first time! Maybe tonight I'll rediscover sleep... Assuming the euphoria subsides.

Congrats!   The home stretch, almost across the finish line.......  Well done! Speedy POE

Interview date availability is what concerns me...All up to Nov 21 are filled already. But it is what it is. 

Hi, keep on checking available dates every know and then. A lot of petitioner failed their medical exam because of sputum and with that they cancelled their set interview dates. With that there will be an open slots for the earlier dates.

Wow! I'm really so happy for you two. Hopefully with our interview tomorrow we have similar good news.

Hello everyone!

 

I'm having terrible NVC troubles and it's driving me totally bananas. So our case was approved on September 23rd and I started calling the NVC 9 days after. On October 11th I found out they finally received the case from the CSC. Anyway, I posted on here earlier explaining that when I called the next day and they asked for Sam's birthday, they said what I told them wasn't what they had on file. I sent an email to correct it but it's been a week of calling twice a day and still nothing!! They keep saying there's no time frame for answering emails and they can't give me any information without the "correct" birthday. I've checked all the other paperwork including the NOA1 and his birthday is correct on there. So they just made a mistake and now it's costing us dearly. It just seems like it's such a simple thing to fix - I sent them everything they requested for the fix in the email, including a copy of his birth certificate. I keep trying to figure out a way to fix this or speed it up - I'm wondering if I could ask to speak to a manager with the hopes they could look up my email, see that I have his correct birthday, fix it, then just give me the darn new case number already!

 

Ahhh sorry, I just needed to vent my frustration to people that would understand. People not going through this process - despite their love and caring - just don't understand how all this works.

This happens more than you realize.  I remember when @Yzabelle was in your shoes..... She immediately got on the ball - sent email with correct info - Yes it was a slight delay but not that bad.  It is understandable to be upset, but by chance that you have to be 'the one' they messed up on but it will get corrected.  In Yzabelle's case, they never actually got the B'day fixed, got it sent thru embassy to visa issue and she's like a week or two younger now LOL  Just roll with the punches, don't stress too much - it will work itself out.  Soon, maybe tomorrow, you will see it 'In Transit'.

Hey guys! Our wedding rings are available now to pick up, since were on a budget we spent a little less than a thousand on both combined, and yesterday we booked a reservation for the honeymoon for 2 days. A nice jacuzzi to relieve some of the built anxiety from this process. It's much needed, and I'm super stoked and can't wait. It's only less than a month from now that we get married. We only really need to get a half a keg of beer ordered for the wedding, and apply for his social security card. I have everything ordered for the wedding and we only need basic stuff like chips and soda for other people, but I can't believe everything is pretty much done. Catering, DJ, pastor, marriage license, wedding decorations, rings, cake, and all the major stuff is completely DONE.  Now I have already started researching AOS so I can be ahead of this whole process and aware of everything I need to submit. I'm feeling super good about this, and to be honest, I'm looking forward to filing it even though the paperwork is gonna be tiring, but it's so worth it and I don't mind anything. This process has taugh me to be incredibly patient, and while the stress has been so intense in the last few months, I'm actually happy to experience it since I'm not very good at coping with stuff, and have pretty bad anxiety. I'm happier than I ever have been before. I hope everyone else is settling in, and many others have successfully got in the U.S. with their loved ones. I'm so happy for everyone of us here and wish I could personally congratulate everyone for how far we've come. We got so far and did quite a lot to get our loved ones here, and we deserve this. I hope you've all been doing well, and sorry again for my quietness. I had no idea how hard it was going to be to keep up with everything but I like to come on here to post and let everyone know how our journey is going. I think I will have to check out the AOS forum on here pretty soon, and hopefully I'll see many of you in there as well.

So sorry about this. I'm sad to read this. I truly hope the immigration lawyer can advise you accordingly. Good luck!

Sorry to hear but unfortunately someone did not research enough and go by what was suppose to be given in the I-134 you are suppose to have back taxes and pay stubs to show if asked and being she failed to send them that means either she forgot or does not have a job to produce them specially if you had to send her money to visit you. So there for she probably would not have been able to meet the 100% that was needed and at AOS filing she has to show 125% with only you 2 but if kids are involved the income level goes higher.

Oh interesting! How did they end up getting the information for the case? Since they won't give me any info, I'm scared I won't be able to see if it gets sent to the embassy or even when they do get it.
