Case Complete to Interview April 2020

[starwars82 4]

So I already got DQ and my interview date scheduled. I went on CEAC today just to double check the documents I need to print and I noticed the status for the sponsor went from "ACCEPTED" to "INCOMPLETE." 

When I click on it it says it's missing i-864ez, should I just ignore this? I mean we already submitted the i-864 and we don't qualify to fill out the i-864ez.

Interviewed today, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I went with my husband. Approved. Pick up passport on 3/13/2020. 
 

We uploaded the DS5540, 2019 tax returns, 2019 W2, bank statements and new paystubs, his health insurance that will go to the USA. They didn’t ask us for the originals since we had already uploaded. We asked if they wanted the originals, they said no they have the scans and that was enough. 
 

The interviewing CO didn’t give any sign that the process was going well or not, we established no rapport at all. The questions just came fast. But then she surprised us with approval. We hugged and I cried. 

 

Day 566 of waiting!

Congrats!!!

 

im in the same boat about the tax documents...i was wondering if i could just take the 2019 tax documents to the interview or if they would make me upload those to Ceac at the interview ( havent filed them yet, just curious if its wise to upload additional documents to CEAC after they have approved what was previously required).

 

Did they ask you about the DS5500? And what type of health insurance will your husband be eligible for when he enters the US? Most research i have done says employers wont add the foreign spouse until he immigrates to the U.S. first....

 

And what type of questions did they ask?

 

Our interview is next month, any help would be appreciated!

Our attorney said don’t upload and see what they say at the interview. I’m not a fan of the wait and see approach and didn’t want to be sent home to

upload. They thanked us for uploading. They didn’t want proof of anything, she said I’ve got it all here. They never even asked about taxes W2 or money in general. Never mentioned the DS5540. Now, if something had not been acceptable I’m sure that they would have brought it up. 
 

I’ve been living overseas so we’ve had a global policy that covers everywhere. It’s with Aetna. I also uploaded proof of the quotes that we got for permanent coverage in the USA which we will get within 2 weeks of his arrival. Arrive by 15th and it’s covered on 1st of the following month. That’s when this other policy would expire anyways. 
 

generic questions - Where did you meet. Tell me about his family. Why didn’t you have a big wedding. Are you having a wedding in USA? Why not? Tell me about the NGO that you work for. What is his job now? He goes to church? Do you speak his language? (Haha my whole family does even though we aren’t from here weve all worked here before my parents have been here since 1999) They asked about our age gap (I’m older by 10 years) His passport photos triggered some kind of facial recognition to some other person and she kept asking him again and again if he ever applied for a visa before and if he is lying right now. She kept threatening lifetime ban. We withdrew our K-1 in early 2017 and had been open about on all our documents and at the interview, but this was some other guy completely. She checked his fingerprints a second time and confirmed it wasn’t him. 
 

Overall it was alright. We sure weren’t expecting the grilling on him looking like somebody else.

Hi All,

 

We got our DQ in feb, does anyone know if the interviews slot are arbitrarily sent to the NVC or if there are set dates? I looked on the spreadsheet, but there's so few Dublin cases.

 

Also, apart from expediting at the NVC level, is there any way to request an earlier interview slot? 

 

Thanks in advance!

For DHS it isn’t required. But for DOS (NVC and consulate level) they are applying it to everyone across the board. My consulate told us they are requiring it now from everyone no matter DQ or petition date

DS5540 is required but healthcare is not required. Though it will heavily play against you in terms of public charge at the interview if you won’t have insurance within 30 days of arriving
