I am curious if all of you who already had an interview, went it with some sort of communication log?  We talk 100% over FaceTime and it is somewhat a pain to provide as an evidence. 

I just wonder what you guys have done for yourselves. Thanks! 

We printed our FaceTime log using iExplorer, and had a bunch of other evidence that we had communicated and seen each other after we submitted the petition. The CO in London didn't ask for any of it.

@Yuliia, @tpeach, @IG&JG, @OutOfThisWorld,

Do you guys know if in Ukraine you first submit DS-160 application and then pay visa fees or you first need to make the payment?

If payment has to come first, then how do you make it without any papers in hand?

 

Thanks!!!

You can submit the DS-160 and pay the fres concurrently.

Congratulations! How was the interview? Do they ask many questions? Did you stay the night somewhere good that you could recommend? 

Im hoping for an interview with Sydney soon . 

Did they say how long that you will get your visa? 

Sorry for all the questions 😊😀

No ask away,  I dont mind. I wrote a mini review on my timeline you can check it out. 😊 

My visa is already on its way to me! They said in a week i would get it but i think it could be sooner. I stayed at siesta Sydney hotel only because it was about 12 mins from the consulate. The hotel was decent for 1 night. I went with my brother so we got 1 room with 2 beds and a shared kitchen and bathroom with other people. Its totally worth it if youre staying for the night  There was only 1 other couple sharing with us and i only saw them once. I think i was asked 5-6 questions. Super easy ones basically about us.  How did you meet him? and how long have u been together? when was the last time you saw him? has he been to AUS? have you been married before? do you have any children?  thats all, and then he said ok your visa is approved. 😊💕

what paper from the organization did you guys give to the police for the certification?

 

They said I need my passport and 住民票 and a letter or something that explains where it's needed for.

I'm so ready to be done with this step!  It's just unbelievable!

You'll get your approval before I will. You had an RFE so you should be hearing something very, very soon.

Still no news from ombudsman?

Nope...because of the government shutdown they sent an email saying they would be delayed with a response. So I'm sure that added and extra week to my 45 days of waiting for a response.

Apparently it did. Me and @Maria1989 both got an email back stating they would be delayed. We got the email a week ago. 

 

I tried to put in another inquiry with USCIS but I have to wait 30 days from my last inquiry response  which was January 10th. I call USCIS once a week now especially since the processing chart updated this week saying they're processing cases as of June 27th. The only thing I'm told is my case is at the final stage of this process and should be reviewed very soon.

 

Now, I'm waiting on my Senator to help although I'm not holding my breath with that!!!

You can submit the DS-160 as soon as it is ready status, then make payment to the bank that they say, after you have made the payment and it has been posted to their account make embassy appointment. Sorry I just saw your question, it may have already been answered. But really you need to schedule that medical first. It will determine the date you need to schedule the Embassy appointment. Embassy is about 2 or 3 days waiting, Medical may be a week out or longer for appointment. With children longer for some reason.

I really don't understand what's happening with them! I'm really sorry. 

 

At least now everytime you call theyre telling the same thing? So at least it's not a lie again..

I guess that's a good thing.  Doesn't help with my depression or feeling like all this waiting is setting me up for a denial at this point. 15 more days of waiting and it will be 9 months since we mailed our petition in. I'm closing in on a year and I have received nothing!!! I would be so happy with a RFE right now because at least I would only be waiting 2-3 more weeks after responding back. 

 

I'm really really happy to see that almost everyone in my filing group is done or almost done with this process but it makes me sink deeper in my hole because Reni and I are stuck. March 4th will be our 2 year anniversary and I'm confident that I will still be waiting, fighting to get him here. 

 

Just starting to think that our outcome will not be a happy one!!!

Nooo don't think like that! There are people who gets it after long long waits! I just saw a January 2017 get it this month! (Which is sooooo not what's going to happen here they did get an rfe etc confusing story there) but the length is not correlated with denial...

Hi @Naes,

 

Here is the details if your originally from Tokyo. (The guidance differs by each prefecture's Police Department so need to check the website by prefecture)

 

Seems differ by people living in Tokyo and the Japanese citizen living abroad but just follow the direction on the website and you'll be fine.

 

For  the document of "提出先機関からの証明書を要求する文書等、証明書発給の必要性が確認できる書類",  I brought I-797 NOA 2 approved doc from USCIS which my fiance in US received. 

 

The Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo is very nice and used to this certification process so you don't need appointment but just visit Kasumigaseki:)

 

You'll get it it 2 weeks.
