I just spoke to a rep at the Embassy and he put in an inquiry for my interview date. He ask if I still hadn’t received my email package for biomedical I said no and he said he would put in a inquiry. So we’ll see... 🤷🏾‍♀️ Now I’m on hold with NVC to see what they will say. 

Let me know what NVC says. How long is the hold to call the embassy? Hopefully they're helpful

They was useless as always. I was on hold for about 40 minutes, she said I was still in line waiting for interview, and she didn’t know when or if they had started schedule for july😏😏 I asked her if she had a time frame as to what is the wait time for receive interview letter ..she didn’t know that either. 🤦‍♀️

I had to get 3 vaccinations. Measles, Tpd and Flu. I don't understand why I needed the flu because the CDC website says you only get the flu vaccine starting from Fall until winter. But anyways the nurse told me I had to get the flu vaccine. The medical exam process for Kenya is a 2 day process. They say the first day is 3-4 hours and the second day will take 1 hour. But I was there 7-8 hours on both days.

 

As for the interview experience. My interview was at 7:15 am. I got there at 6:30 went through security and at about 8. I was called for the first interview where I was asked to provide my passport, 1 passport picture, my birth certificate, marriage certificate etc. I was asked 6 questions

1. who petitioned me 

2. if either of us have been married before

3. if we have kids

Questions 4-6 were questions from the DS-260 that I filled in

4. criminal background

5. if I've ever been arrested 

6. if I've served in the military 

 

She then told me to go back and sit down and wait for the official interview. I waited for about 2 and half hours. I was interviewed by a cordial lady who only asked me 2 questions

1. how I met my husband

2. if we have kids

 

She then said that my visa has been approved and it will take 2 days to get my passport back

I’m sorry but I doubt this because , the statics show that in July 2019 lots of cr1/ir1 visas were issued meaning they had interviews in July..

so I think you should still have high hopes of getting IL soon , thank you

The picture above is for stats in 2018. Although i disagree with the statement that f2a category is more current, as they do not gain precedent and are based on priority date, VS cr1 is always eligible for 1st priority. one of two things could be happening. Either Mumbai is waiting till the end of month to issue  IL  or they did issue IL and we just missed it ( which are highly unlikely) as their is someone with a MAY 1 CC that still is waiting.

NVC rep told me that they are still scheduling interviews for July. In 2018 June and 2018 July more number of green cards were issued at MUM.

Forgot to ask you. Were you asked to fill out supplementary questionnaire listing all your social media accounts?

No. I submitted my DS-260 in Jan so the during my interview the Embassy didn't ask me to do that. The embassy never asked for any of my documents apart from the marriage certificate, police clearance certificate and birth certificate
