My husband left yesterday night from Central Texas to CDJ. It took approximately 10hrs but he finally made it. He said crossing the border was difficult (due to all the steps he had to take). He is at his first appointment now and I can tell that he is ready to return to the States. He said it (CDJ/MX) is not like anything that he had imagined/remembered (he has been here in States since teenager). 

 

What questions did they ask your husband? My husband's interview is on Tuesday (5/29/18). This entire process has been very humbling. Congrats on your approval, to God be the glory!

Sorry I just saw your comment but I also saw your husband got approved congratulations to the both of you! How exciting!! My husband got approved last Tuesday and got his passport back on Thursday at about 3pm Juarez time so I'm sure your husbands case will be the same

hello J Laredo have you tried calling NVC?

I’ll try tomorrow after work. I was at work today when this came out, and I figure NVC phone lines are swamped this evening. No wonder!  I want to call but I can wait one more day. I wonder how long it takes to receive the email? Anybody know?  maybe I don’t want to wait that long, lol.

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! 

What’s the difference with a live scan and regular fingerprints? My husband was in the US four times when he had a visitor visa in the 80s-90s, so maybe we should have that done? I never thought before about needing US records since he didn’t live there, but maybe it would help. He hasn’t been back since 97 if I recall.

Did you get an email or text with tracking number? Did you pay the immigrant visa before your husband crossed over again? 

 

Thanks for the kind words. That 2 day turnaround is awesome 😎

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?

CONGRATULATIONS!  I love reading these kind of posts, gives me hope to keep fighting.

NVC finally sent the request to USCIS for my waiver approval. How long did it take you to get a cc after NVC requested the aproval from USCIS?

Our scanned date was 11/1/17

Cc was 1/23/18 ( 12 wks)

Interview email received 4/2/18

Interview today 5/29/18

 

So when we found out NVC did not have our waiver approval notice, an NVC sup had to get involved. It took about approx 4-6wks to finally get approval to NVC. This took place while our packet was still in queue to be reviewed, so everything was happening simultaneously.

 

It takes so long to get waiver notice from USCIS bc they (NVC) requests them in batches, so they arent just waiting for USCIS to send your 1 waiver, they are requesting and waiting for many at a time. Apparently this happens all the tim. Smh. 

 

NVC told my husband not to leave country without waiver. If they didnt have waiver by the time it was time to schedule our interview, they were going to delay our interview. You must have that waiver, (if applicable) or visa will be denied and applicant stuck in MX. 

 

And yes, keep fighting. This process is for warriors only! And the bible says, we are more than conquerors through Christ. AMEN! 🤗

How you guys get the people who answer the phone at nvc to give you information? My husband called 2 times these month and whatever he ask all they say is, no interview schedule yet. And I call once talk with a lady in Spanish and she said the exact same thing, no interview schedule yet. I see some of you are told at least that they started giving appointments.

Scheduling interview is solely dependent on the consulate. Some consulates schedule starting of the month, mid month or end of the month. It is a possibility that your consulate has not started scheduling interviews while others have begun. Check in the Hoduras thread to see when they usually schedule interview. :)

Thanks for the info. NVC told me that they have sent the request to USCIS last week and that the problem should be solved by the end of next week. I hope that is correct. We have been at NVC for over 8 weeks now. 

Best wishes to you!
