Question just trying to look forward.

When the interview date comes and say if they were approved, can they travel the next day?

No you have to wait for them to mail you your passport and visa. Takes about a week.

So after passing the interview takes about a week to get passport  and then they can travel?

From my understanding it varies. Some takes a week some take two.  Like the entire process it's different for all

If s/he's from the Philippines, s/he needs to go to the CFO GCP seminar too. They won't let you leave if you don't have the sticker on your passport.

Yeah it can vary depending on situation. Average seems about a week but processing can hold it up and can take a few weeks.

It seems like no one in this thread has gotten an NOA2 yet. It sucks

I'm hoping someone receives it by EOD tomorrow. Hopeful thinking.

Same here...Now I am here wondering what to do for christmas. My fiance and I were talking about what to do for the holidays because my office closes for 2 weeks but because of this process we cannot make any arrangements as yet.

I absolutely understand. Thankfully my fiancé lives 2.5 hours flight time but flying during the holidays to Colombia gets expensive. I'll be traveling in 3 weeks to see him however I don't know what to do for the holidays as I'm not sure when his interview will take place and I plan to be there...  It's truly up in the air.. today is day 94 and I know other people have been waiting much longer...

Sadly I am further away than you are. I am only at 84 days so maybe I shouldn't be complaining. But I feel like i have to have everything on hold now until I hear something. sigh..

It's reasonable to feel antsy at this point when people from April and May were getting NOA2s under 80 days.

You're not that far away. It's 10 days. Not that it matters at this point, but I took several weeks assembling the paperwork to ensure we had everything covered, then wonder ugh why did I take so long lol.. I could've been an early July or late June filer.. then I think, I rather the way I did it than doing something incorrectly and receiving an RFE for sure due to rushing. 

 

It does suck to see other filers receive their NOA2 prior to 90 days, but I've seen that several May and June filers are still waiting as well.

It just makes you wonder how they process the petitions...

I realized. But they are now doing interviews too.
