I called NVC just now and they told me my case is a “special” electronic case 🤔 I have to press option 5 every time I called to get info or attempt to get a case number apparently because not all the agents have access to this type of “special electronic” cases so there are only a few who can provide info on this. She also told me it will take them up to 8 weeks to assign a case number and they will notify me. Although she did say that if I happen to call a day and they have the case assigned they will give it to me. Anyone has any experience with these electronic cases that can shed some light into how long it takes for them to assign a case number please?

I had my interview yesterday. It went well, I got approved. I was at the embassy at 7:30am, finished at 10:40AM. Got my number, wait to be called. Once called, the interviewer only ask me one thing : 

Officer :  Please raise your right hand ( I got so nervous, raise my left hand mid way and was like, oh right hand is the other one). Do you swear to tell only the truth today ? 

Me : Yes 

Officer : Congratulation, your visa is approved. Welcome to America. Please go to the EMS counter to sign up for your visa to be delivered to you. 

And that is it, no question asked, nothing. I have prepared to answer all and everything but luckily I didn't have to. I left right after the officer said so, I was afraid I would say smt silly or like if they changed their mind. 

Such a relief, POE will be middle of May

It has been a long journey and I;m glad I had this community with me. Thank you and Good luck to those who still waiting.

Montreal embassy - Does anyone that has had their interview already know if you must have a long form birth certificate or if they will except a short one. They email me Thursday afternoon to bring a copy of long form birth certificate and Friday was a holiday, Monday is a holiday and it takes 5 buisness days to get and I leave for my interview in 4 business days 😬

I haven't, but I did read last night in a news article that they were going to try and make that into a standard process for all visa applicants starting in a couple of months. I think after May of this year.

We are APPROVED, after 293 long, long days. Never in our wildest dreams did we think the process would take this long. A huge weight has been lifted to finally be at this point. Now we have to just wait for my passport  and packet to be sent out, I am hoping to fly on the 6th April, we do have the Easter break (public holidays) coming up which just may delay things by a few days, I have everything crossed that we get them in time.

 

I can't begin to describe how fretful the lead up to the interview was, it is so important and the last hurdle, will I forget something, will I find the building, will my medical packet magically open on its own, what will the interviewer be like, what questions will I be asked...... It was a nerve racking morning, but I did find other lovely people facing the interview as well, we were all  having the same minor panic attacks. We joined forces and supported each other, friendly banter while waiting it made such a difference. I wish I knew the outcome for everyone, Jess before me was approved.

 

I will do a review for the consulate as the past reviews that I have read helped me understand the process of the day and what to expect. Best of luck to everyone still waiting for their interview, be honest, speak the truth and it will be ok.

Great news!!!! congratulations

 

Have you received your passport back yet?
