My husband's interview was this morning in CDJ and praise God ALMIGHTY  he was approved!  Interview time was 8:45am and he just got out about 30 mins ago (after 1pm CDJ time). 

 

I checked Ceac and it already says issued.  I'm confused on what happens next. Where will the tracking number be sent and will we get back our pictures and papers?

 

Where do I pay the VISA  fee?

CONGRATS!

Thank you all so much. More good news from CDJ.  My husband said his interview was about 10 mins, while the same lady that did his interview kept one guy for 40 mins. He said, they are meticulous and take their time going through the papers they're interested in.

They asked when he got married

How long had he been in USA

Did he come with a passport

When and where he crossed and what the scenary looked liked at place he crossed.

 

At the first window they asked him for the penales (criminal records from US and Mx). But he told them it wasnt required for him due to his age when he entered. They still gave him the "black x" and he had to sit in black chairs.

He said bc the people in black chairs were "missing documents", or preceived to be missing docs, they were scrutinized more. He said the person he went to was very strict. So they split the applicants up based on specific criteria. Missing paperwork or if they think you are missing seems to be one criterion.

 

He also said one guy was denied bc his sponsor did not make enough. Please review your income info to make sure your sponsor qualifies. When in doubt get co sponsor.

Oh yes thank you for the heads up! They asked for a police certificate from the US as well?

My husband picked up his Visa this morning! Our interview in Santo Domingo was Wed 5/23, status changed online to Issued the following day and we received the email on Friday 5/25 it was ready for pickup. Was pleasantly surprised how quick it was! We were vacationing after the interview so he just go the chance to pick it up today. We just paid the green card fee so now everything is all set!  So happy!!!

He said they did. He didnt have either. We contacted NVC several times asking about this and they  said bc my husband came before 16 he would not need it. We asked NVC what to say if/when they ask at the consulate. NVC said to tell consulate its not needed for this case. Even though he was sent to the black chairs, he was still approved. Maybe they just ask everyone, honestly, IDK. 

 

They asked him for pictures at the first window as well. One guys' pics were rejected bc they were "too dark", Im assuming that means no flash. As of yet, pictures not returned. I hope we get them back bc they were my scrapbook pages. (I look to scrapbooking, so Hobby Lobby gets all my money, lol). I sent hubby with about 5 scrapbook pages of pics front and back. Pics of us with friends, family, wedding pics, just us being silly, us at church.

 

I pray this info is helpful, bc this forum has helped me tremendously! 😘

That is crazy. I always figured to when they do the fingerprints here they check for all that, we might just get the live scan just in case. I didn't even think of pictures! Id rather send him over prepared and not get scrutinized if not needed, it is already so nerve wrecking for them as it is.

 

What? They didn't give you back your pictures? Why would they want to keep those? LOL Maybe they will send it back to you in the mail.

 

Thanks again for answering my questions, this forum is the best and I am the same way, I am willing to help anyone I can, since I know this process is so overwhelming and can not wait for it to be over!

You are very welcome dear. I think we will get them back in the courier service. The only thing he got back at time of interview was his birth certificate, jis divorce decree from 1st marriage and our marriage certificate.

 

Check the NVC site. There is a list of items to bring for family based visas. Most of it is same as stuff you sent for NVC packet, with a few extra items depending on visa type, for example pics, 2 passport photos, etc. Be sure to check it out. GOD BLESS. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will try to get answers from him. Right now just waiting on tracking number.

Congrats!! Yes, I've been involuntarily conjuring up all sorts of ways ours could end badly. I think I'm reading too many people's stories. At least I know what things to prep and forewarn my husband about, which I didn't before. Enjoy your freedom!

Yes! Give him positive words so he can go in that appointment confident in himself 😊
