I remember someone had wanted to start a regional Visa Journey FB group, in regards to immigration issues and questions they had in their area.

If I recall, the idea of a FB group was shot down by many VJ users because we enjoy our level of "privacy" that VJ offers.  Many did not want their real names, immigration story, and images tied with their FB accounts and shared with virtual strangers.



 

Thats fair enough, I have seen it for other places so I was wondering if there was any interest.

I would love to hear from any July 2017 filers for Adjustment of Status   from K-1 visa that will eventually have their interview in the Seattle field office.  Has anyone got their interview date yet?

Wooo!! Just logged in to check on my status on the USCIS website and noticed as of today it’s now changed to “interview scheduled”! Hopefully there is no delay in receiving the mailed notification!

Thanks for thinking about this type of idea!  I'm also in the mind frame that I like the privacy of Visa Journey.  Face book is so much more open.  Keep us posted aabout how you are doing.  We will do our best to encourage your journey!

Strange, we already received our interview letter and our interview is early next week, but today our status changed to "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" on both sites as of yesterday. I have no clue what this means if anything, but damn I hope this doesn't mean our Interview was cancelled. I can't find any occurrences of this happening online, not sure what to do at this point except just go to our interview on the scheduled date.

Something similar like this happened to me.  I got a text stating:  We are still reviewing your case.  We will notify you when your status changes.  Then it says update your notifications.  So I looked at my notifications update and what I understand is that once anything new  happens Like say your interview has been booked.  They will just keep notifying you every two weeks. So since the last action on my  USCIS saying interview booked nothing else has happened.  Basically there is nothing new to report. So they send a generic text like the one above.   If that makes any sense.  If you are concerned called them to confirm your interview.   They will be able to confirm this.

Quick update: I will fill in the details later. We had our interview today, the interview was straightforward. We had WAY more evidence than necessary.

 

Unfortunately, they gave us a notice saying our case is being held for review. This notice was printed out before the interview, not sure about that. So now we have up to 120 days of waiting, hopefully it doesn't take that long.

Thats unfortunate to hear, considering the notice is printed before the interview I am wondering if they are just putting at as a placeholder since they are trying to catch up.

Whelp, unequivocal good news now! At 1am we received FOUR sms indicating the status was updated. I gave no clue why four but I'll take it. Our case status now reads New Card Is Being Produced! Finally, after a year and a half!!!!!
