It can really vary depending on your case, even with people at the same embassy, my wife barely got asked anything, I think cause our case was easy for them, even though its a high fraud country.

Yeah, that's true.. I don't have doubts tho, I'm only curious :rolleyes:

 

Thanks all the way !!

Instructions for paying the fee were in the package?

I wanted to pay it today then saw I needed info I didn't have.

you can pay it here

https://www.uscis.gov/file-online/uscis-immigrant-fee

 

you will need the applicant NVC case number  and the Alien number (A#) this info is usually on the visa (temporary Green card) paste on the passport , i will suggest to wait for the passport. just remember After payment make sure to PRINT/SAVE confirmation page.  This is the only time you will see the control number and the only time you can print it. Is important because it is the only way to prove you pay for the green card.

 

good luck!

Just got an update, DHL picked it up, it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow!

 

Wow this is so much faster than the whole CR1 process, so exciting!

Did you guys stay in Juarez for pick up or are you having it shipped else where in Mexico? Just wondering if that makes a difference on how quick the delivery is ready for you guys!

We went back to Mexico City, they shipped it overnight, its already at the DHL location, but we probably won't pick it up till tomorrow morning.

Its possible for other locations it can take a little longer, I think we would've had the same wait time in Juarez.

We're not planning to cross right away so there was no need for us to wait there.

Hello!

 

My wife will have her interview in Lima, Peru. Although we are still waiting for the CC, I would like to know how did it take from you guys from CC to Interview Notification Letter? Or, better yet, since you could hear over the phone (assuming that happened before getting the notification) when was you interview going to happen ?

 

I believe it varies a lot depending on where the Consulate/Embassy is located. So is anyone here having their interview in Lima? All I could find was K1 visa scheduling estimates but I don't know if they are relevant to us since we went the IR1/CR1 route.

 

Congrats on the approved interview to everyone here! And thank you for your replies.

Got My Passport and visa in hand earlier today :dancing:. They called me from the consular office to come pick it up as according to them it is faster for me since I live close to the embassy.

 

I have also paid my immigrant fees online and created a USCIS account and verified it - all went smoothly and successful.

 

So It is all over! I most grateful to Vj platform and members for the support, reliable information and most of all for keeping me in-check. 

 

Of course I will share my POE experience when it happens - very soon :)

 

Congrats to you Binna, hopefully this will be me soon,how long after your case complete did they take to schedule your interview?

Transaction Amount: $220.00

you 
 Your payment was applied to the following case(s):        IOE************* (This USCIS Receipt Number that will be used to track your case)

 

In addition if you create an account after the payment, and run through the verification process, all your cases will be added to your account automatically and you can see the progress when next you login.
