@Fe.Ta Yeaaa!! 🙌 About how long from "Ready" does it take for them to email you P3? Or should we just email them and ask next steps?

Ours took about a week from the time it was received (meaning someone signed for it and DHL confirmed delivery), so from status "Ready" I would say maybe about 3-4 days.  It doesn't take too long.  Obviously, keep in mind every case is different, but definitely have some patience before you try to email them to ask. :)  Maybe email them by the end of next week if you don't hear anything.

Congratulations!❤️

 

I also have news.. I had my interview on Monday and WE'RE APPROVED!!! 😲😍 I didn't want to lose the chance to say THANK YOU to all of you who read my questions and inquiries and always replied back.

 

For Andrea and Gaston: the interview was quick but not the waiting. I was thinking that it will take an hour top and I was waiting for two hours seated waiting for them to call my name. At the interview they made really simple and ordinary questions like how long have we been together, how many times did we travel, how did we get engaged, what were the plans for the future and that was it.

 

I will be flying by the end of the month to Miami. Now I'm just waiting on the passport. 

 

I guess we'll keep in touch in the other thread about the AOS and the next papers that we will have to deal with haha 

thank you all again!

Thank you!!! 

 

We were only two people for the k1 with the 10.30 am appointment. Step 1, 4 and 5 (first check, fingerprints and handling the papers as medical exams, the voucher for the payment for the interview, the birth certificate and passports) only took a couple of minutes.

Then we were waiting until they called me at around 12:30pm so it was a little bit nerve wracking. My family was waiting for me outside and I couldn't get in touch with them, of course. So be prepared and calm. You'll be good! We will be waiting on your updates!

One thing I wanted to ask was about was what you physically brought to the embassy. We are planning to bring a folder with originals, our wallets with ID, but I've read you can't bring things like a cell phone at all. So we should just leave them at home?

I asked my mom to come with me so I left everything in the car with her.

I only took my ID out of my wallet and I brought an envelope with all the papers in my hand and that was it BUT there's people outside, renting like little "lockers" to leave your phone if you want to. There's a bunch of people that leave the phones over there so I would say it's "doable". I don't know how much they charge you because I didn't ask but I saw that along with many people leaving their belongings over there. They are located just two meters away from the main entrance.

Hey there. Congrats on NOA2! I just went to a photo place and ask for photos for visas. They took them in a white background and the size asked.

Welcome and congrats! Yes 5x5 just ask for that size or tell them it’s for a US visa. If you have any other questions we’re here to help :)
