Case Complete to Interview June 2018

[truelove29 218]

An update on our case...my husbands interview was last Friday (May 18th) in Ankara. Everything went well except they asked that we upload 2017 1040 tax forms to CEAC for me & our sponsor. We did that on Sunday & emailed the embassy letting them know. They responded on Monday saying that they will review everything. Tuesday our status changed to Administrative Processing...and today it changed to Issued!! Woohoo!! Hopefully we'll be able to pick it up sometime next week...I'm just so happy they were so quick about it 😀

Check out this forum for more information of this form.

Actually it applies to cases which need more background security checks.

Congrats!! Just curious they asked you to re-upload in spite of uploading everything before Case Complete or did you receive a checklist to bring to the interview?

We had only uploaded 2016 tax info since it was before the deadline. Our case complete was April 4th. They didn't request anything further. I sent the 2017 taxes with my husband to his interview just in case...they asked for them but then handed them back & said that they just need to be uploaded to CEAC. I guess they need everything to be electronic for the file.

Got it! I am assuming they wanted it uploaded as your case is PIVOT and they do not have any packets to send along for POE.

do you know if just maybe they started scheduling? same cc 2/26...Mexico is taking soooo long

[ImpatientMexican 13]

Not yet, they're saying they start scheduling next week. But last month they started on the 24th so maybe they're just saying that? Who knows  It will be 3 months since CC for us in a couple days. @imasunshine

Hello Guys .. I got into the United states yesterday 😁

Congratulations... quick question, did you take your dad’s 2017 tax return and did they ask for it at the interview? My dad was in Nigeria until August when we went back together for my school, I’m not sure he worked at all last year. So I’m really confused.

My husband and I had our interview yesterday in santo domingo. As the petitioner I wasnt required to go but I wanted to be there. We waited about 10-15 mins at a window for the first part where they gather your paperwork and we were asked to provide the original birth certificate of my husband and our marriage license, as well as the police report and medical test my husband did and his passport. They only asked us how long we have been married, if we have kids together, if my husband has kids with anyone else and if my husband is currently working. We answered married 1 year 1 month, no kids together, no kids from other relationships and that mu husband is currently not working, he is a student. This took about 10 minutes.

 

We were then told to go around to another set of windows and they would call our number. We waited an hour and 15 mins in this line to have the official interview, which is just at a window not in a room. The guy was very nice and personable. He only asked my husband if he has traveled outside the DR, to where and if he ever lived or worked there for more than a year. My husband said hes traveled to America,  Canada and Europe and has worked in America but not for more than a year at a time. He also asked him where I worked and what I did, my husband told him my employer name, what the company was and what I did there.

 

The rest of the questions were to me, asked me where and when we met and when we were married, i gave him the months and years but not specific dates. He asked what my husband currently does and since he is a student, he asked what he used to do when we met, I told him of a couple previous jobs he had. He asked how times were visited each other. I told him 11 and he asked how many of those times were in the DR and how many in the states. Lastly he asked what my favorite thing about my husband is and i said that he makes me laugh every day. And he asked if we would reside in iowa or Missouri, I told him Missouri. Then he said your Visa is approved and you'll be contacted within 10 days to pick it up 

 

Praise the lord this process is finally over, I still cant believe it! Good luck to everyone and thank you for being a source of strength and knowledge throughout this journey!
