Case Complete to Interview March 2020

[stech786 236]

@dwheels76 I know someone on this forum who just got IL today CR1 and was DQ 01/21/20, while I was DQ in first week of Jan 2020. At that time I was C21 and on 02/14 I was upgraded to CR1. Does this mean I would get IL earlier than expected as based on my Jan DQ or am I considered Feb DQ list?

Hello everyone! My husband went to his interview today. We had a problem with the I-864. We made a mistake by putting my name as the sponsor, it was supposed to be my father. Make sure you have all your documents and everything is correct. Have multiple people look at it just in case you miss something. Thank god we were lucky enough to find a open interview on Thursday. All the other months were booked. Keep us in your prayers. Hoping the best for everyone. 

 

What kind of questions did they ask?

We fixed the problem. The wrong form was filed out for my father. My husband went back to with the document that was missing. We got approved !!!! He will pick up his visa on March 5th. Thank you and I’m wishing the best for everyone else waiting.

Got into the US yesterday with my husband. Finally together!!! I want to use this medium to say thank you to everyone who has been of help one way or the other and to visa journey community as a whole, most importantly the advise to file 129f if we had not done that we would have been waiting for approval for May this year. Am so thankful to God for the way everything went. I pray for all those affected by this ban that it will be lifted soon and it will all end in praise don’t lose hope. Wish you all the very best.❤️

Hi Guys, 

 

We entered the US a couple of days ago with our two children and all is complete!

 

Upon entry, we were required to head into secondary inspection, so you should prepare for that in the case you have a connecting flight through the US. 

 

We did our POE @ Boston Logan and were required to head downstairs with a group of others to a secondary inspection unit. We had to wait about 15 minutes until someone came up to bring us all down, as they had to come collect the passports before escorting us to the lower level. 

 

Almost all the people there did not have a visa so they were being questioned pretty emphatically. My wife was rather nervous, but I told her it wouldn't be a big deal. Thankfully, our two toddler children were relaxed after sleeping most of the flight over from London. 

 

Once they called my wife's name, they literally had no questions for her. They simply told her that this stamp was valid for a year to go in and out and that the green card would be printed and mailed within 4 to 6 months. I think that's probably at excessive, but anyhow...

 

If you're connecting on your POE, give yourself at least 4 to 5 hours of connection time to go through the secondary inspection. It is literally just a formality. And once we were called, we were done and gone in 2 minutes. However, if there are many people waiting there ahead of you, it could take hours! 

 

Wishing everyone out there the best of luck. Especially those impacted by the recent ban. I cannot even begin to imagine going through this entire process only to get to the final stage and be left hanging in the wind. 

 

Please don't lose hope and don't give up. It will happen for you. The tide will turn and your time will come. 

 

Best,

Robert

@reashamoriba Sorry for the late reply. My husband came across a female interviewer who wasn’t very nice at all. He was asked more then 10 questions. She asked questions like who is your sponsor? How many children do you and your wife have? When was the last time you seen your wife? What date did you and your wife first meet? When did you get married? Sorry my husband forgot the other questions. There are interview questions online you can look over. I’ll add some of the links for you. Just make sure your prepared. Make sure you have the documents please and everything is uploaded to the ceac website. We realized that some interviewers don’t approve the visa until the documents are seen by them. My friend husband was missing documents but he had a nice interviewer and still approved him. He will just take the missing documents with him when he go pick up the visa. My husband had to go back and make an appointment online before getting approved. We were lucky to find one. Currently there is NO appointments available now. This is why I’m saying please make sure your not missing any paperwork. Also my friends husband medical exams was not given to him by paper. I think they have a new policy now where they will send the medical exam to the US embassy electrically. If you can get it in person is much better that way because you don’t know how long it’s going to take them. They still haven’t sent my friends. They are now telling him to bring the medical exam. 

Here are the links my husband was using to prepare for the interview

Hi everyone, I emailed our consulate this morning to ask if they are requiring DS5540 at interviews even for those DQ before Feb 24 and they are requiring it now. I would contact your consulate to find out as well and/or bring the form with you just in case.
