 Thank you Greenbaum. I’m planing the medical by the end of June and the interview for July. Do You know if the monthly schedule is when a new month start or they open interview everyday? Do you recommend to keep checking everyday or every week?

Check each day. Maybe others in your subforum can enlighten you further on the interview status for your embassy.

Fifi is at the embassy today. Prayers and good vibes please. He left his phone at home so I'll be waiting anxiously to hear what happens.

Awesome. 

[Shellimedz 33]

Yes, a few simple questions and he was approved! I don't know if I'm happier that he's approved or if I'm happier to be done with this stressful drawn out process. Thank God for the strength and patience it took for me not to have a nervous breakdown.

Today is a big day for some as your case file may ship out to your embassy. Check CEAC for updated progress and look for "in transit"!! If that shows you are on your way. Shipments are throughout today and tomorrow so don't get discourage if your record at CEAC has not changed over to "in transit” Also, for those who want to have a little fun in tracking your shipment see the DHL hack on the first page of this thread NUMBER 19 for instructions. NOTE: The DHL hack information will not be available till Wednesday as the DHL and NVC computers must sync with each other to produce the outcome.

 

You have three stages 1) in transit - shipment is in the air or soon will be, 2) received - physical case file is at the Embassy and 3) ready - your case is ready to schedule and complete your interview.  These will be your current state or status to your case file once you have received the case number. Once your record is set to "ready" you are ready to proceed in processing your next steps as listed in your P3 for your embassy.  I have most P3 if you hit me up with a request, I will post back the links.

 

Please don't screenshot and post your CEAC status as it just clutters up the thread. We all know what it looks like. Let us know your progress as we want to celebrate with you. Good luck.

My fiance is coming to US tomorrow. I am flying to New York to meet her there. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can read about what to expect at POE and specially in NY. What questions they will ask her and what will they have her do. Go through her stuff, look at the documents, take picture, etc. Her english is not so good so I am trying to prepare her as much as I can. I will be waiting for her when she arrives. Will I be able to help if she will need a translation or can I even see her or come close to her when she will be asked? Any info will be helpful. Thank you guys and I am so exited. 

Saw this a bit late. Hope the POE went well. We had zero issues with JfK.

Approved! 😍

 

Thank you to all VJers who have provided and shared their experiences here. It really helped a lot. 😊

Maybe this has been covered in the preceding 134 pages somewhere. But I was going to call to see what the status was after receiving the NOA-2. I went back and reread the I-797 and found this little gem: "...You should allow a minimum of 30 days for Department of State processing before contacting NVC. If you have not received any correspondence from the NVC within 30 days, you may contact the NVC by email at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov. You will need to enter the USCIS receipt number from this approval notice an the subject line. In order to receive information about your petition, you will need to include the Petitioner's name and date of birth, and the Applicant's name and date of birth, in the body or the e-mail..."  Having done that, in less than 24 hours I received this: "The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé(e)'s/spouse's approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Bogota, Colombia. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé(e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition." Included was the USCIS Receipt Number AND the Case Number. This may be a preferred way instead spending countless amount of time on the telephone.

For those of you who were approved at your interview when your status initially went to AP roughly how long did it stay that way before going to ready?

There are many, many factors that affect when the status changes on a adjudicated case. No one with any certainty can tell you or will you be able to determine your situation.

Approved!

Thanks for all useful information this page has provided. My embassy review is ready to help others after me
