Hi,

Did you receive the packet 3 from the embassy? Our case is also ready but we are worried that we won't receive the packet 3 for more 3 weeks.

Matt (he is the beneficiary) emailed the embassy and they sent the p3 packet, through email, right away after he emailed them! I would definitely have the beneficiary email the embassy tomorrow!

Hi everyone, 

wanti congrats everyone for getting this far. @Ayeshacharles congrats on your visa and safe travel to the states. If you are coming to the northern part of the states make sure to bundle up cause  our winters could get brutal. I told my fiance you will be in for a suprise when you get here in December. 

Could someone give me any insight on what documents they asked at the interview and what they ask. Would really apperciate it want my fiance to be ready for her interview so when the time comes it will go smooth hopefully. Thank you in advance for all the help.

Congrats Vintage Girl!!! Welcome to the USA!!!!!  I've been blessed. My fiance has been with me for 5 months at the beginning of the year and again since September. I feel so bad for folks who have to go so long without their loved ones. God bless and best wishes in America!
