Our second scan date was 11/20 and we got CC at 12/28 so it took 5 weeks and 3 days. And now we are still waiting for interview being scheduled. The waiting is suks but this is the only option we have. :(

Yeah, our second SD was Nov 30, and we got CC Jan 12, it honestly felt far longer the second time, but hang in there!

Congratulations! Thanks, I'm trying.. The waiting definitely does feel much harder this time around.

Hey guys its official!! So Saturday I told you guys that I checked our status (I'm the petitioner) and we have a "at NVC".  I also said I would wait to jump up and down until I call this morning to confirm.  Well, I just called NVC and they confirmed the status and told me that we got a CC on January 13 which is amazing to me because its exactly 4 weeks from SD of December 12. So I am now jumping up and down :-).  I am also amazed because there was Christmas and New Year and I was so sure that the cc will come end of January or February (you never know with this process). God is so good all the time.  I am a step closer to reconnecting with my hubby and it feels good. 

 

Every stage is so darn nerve racking and now that we are waiting for interview we or should say I am even more nervous even though I am the petitioner lol. I don't know what it is with the immigration process (I am a naturalized citizen), its always quite the emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. Funny when I became a citizen back in 2010 I vowed I would not step in the immigration offices or go through the process ever again but the love of my life came along and it was a no brainer. The things we do for love :-).  One thing I have learned is - do not ever give up on your loved one or yourself and don't let the process get the best of you. Trust your gut feeling.  I don't know how many times I was told my case/s was too difficult and this or the other cant be done, but I kept going and did everything on my own and trusted me and the process. I will always be so indebted to visa journey family for always being there for me through my journey (started 2004 and ended 2010) and my husband's journey. You guys are so awesome. 

 

That being said, I wish everyone all the best throughout your journey and hope you are reunited with your loved ones very soon.

Is anyone of you who is uploading the docs online including AOS & IV package, maybe FRN or any of the countries that have this system? I’ve attached a list of the countries.
