Hi Guys

 

  Finally i had my interview yesterday. DQ was June 18 and first interview scheduled on Sept 18 and got rescheduled to 24 Nov at 8am.

  Reached embassy at 7.30 am and completed all screening process without any issue.

  Front desk gave me the token and entered the waiting room where they have collected Birth certificate, marriage certificate, PCC and Tax transcripts.

  Exactly 9.00 am , the consular called me and she is more friendly and guided me with the interview process.

 

   -Who is filing for you?

   -What is her name?

   -When was the last time you spoke?

   -What state does your wife reside in, and with who?

   -How often you visited?

   -When was the last time you saw each other?

   -Was there a reason you guys haven't seen since then?

   -Questions about employment/position?

   -Have you ever traveled out of the country?

   -Have you ever been convicted?

   -How big was your wedding?

   -Was your medical completed, and when?

 

She was trying to pull other documents from the system and asked me to wait for few minutes.

She took my visitor visa page and stamped it as cancelled.

After few minutes, she said your interview went well and you are good to go now and everything is ok. we will process your visa.

Gave back the Birth certificate, marriage certificate and domestic violation paper and kept the passport with her.

She mentioned You will get an email about the courier details for the passport/Visa. Wished for safe travel and advised to stay safe in US.

 

No other documents asked and it was quite productive discussion and the consular made more comfortable during the entire interview process. 

 

So, finally i have completed 11 months of waiting period. Currently, in the CEAC portal the status got changed from "Ready" to "Administrative processing". No form 221g issued or any instructions to provide more information nor did the immigration officer tells me that my visa application requires further processing. Hope everyone has gone through the same situation after the interview. I request the persons who have attended the interview to give clarity on the status update from Ready to AP.

 

Thank you all and thanks for your guidance. I hope i will get my visa back very soon. 

 

All the Best for those waiting for their interview.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations !!!

Hi Everyone, 

 I started the process in Feb 2020 , and it is finally complete!

My husband had his interview on Wednesday and got Approved!!!! His appointment was for 8:30am and about 40 minutes later he called me. 

He said he was told to stand by a door, after a while someone came out asked him what kind of filing he's there for, found his name (He said they had a long list of names),his passport, passport size photo, birth certificate and DS 260 Page.

After going thru security, he was given a number and told to sit in a waiting area. He then got called by a window he said by a Jamaican lady to complete his fingerprints and asked for his Birth Certificate, Marriage certificate, Passport and Police record. Then directed to sit and wait till his name got called. About 5-10 minutes he heard his name and went to the officer where he swear in. 

 

Questions Asked: 

-Who is filing for you? 

-What's my name?

-Where does she live? He started giving my full address and he said the consular said he doesn't need all that, just the state and asked him where in that state. 

-Has he ever been convicted? He said no, consular said he knows but he just had to ask. 

-When last he spoke with me? 

-When was the last time he saw me? 

-What kind of work I do? 

-Name of where I work? 

-When did I migrate to the US? 

-How long have we known each other? 

-Has he ever travelled out of the country? 

-Do we have any kids? 

-How many people were at our wedding? 

-Where was our wedding?  Officer mentioned that it was a good location for pictures and my husband offered to show him pictures, he started giving the officer page by page and he just told him to give him everything and just skipped thru it , he did ask who my flower girl was. 

 

He was not asked for the Tax Transcript but you know every consular is different. 

After everything he was told he is approved and given the domestic paper  and told he should receive his passport in 1-2 weeks and Good Luck. The interview is out in the open so you can hear the questions and answers from others. He said his officer was good compared to how he heard the others questioning others and wanted exact information such as the full address etc. 

 His CEAC status showed "Administrative Processing" for awhile, got worried and he said they didn't say they needed further information, but I just rechecked and it finally said ISSUE!!!!!!!

Just waiting for the call for him to pick up his documents. 

This group has helped so much with the process and getting updates with how everything is going.
