Case Complete (DQ) to Interview September 2020

[AarLar 53]

So my case got expedited on the 17th of july. Had my interview today and went well, but im stuck in administrative processing in definitely ☹️.

 

The dutch doctor cant schedule it because they cant access my file, and the embassy gave me some short answer “we’re working on it”. It’s now been 2.5 weeks and still no fix for my glitched (?) file. No medical, no full expedite, no greencard.
 

anyone else had their file glitched? Who can i complain to about the dutch embassy? Department of state? 
 

HELP!!

She also got explained to that her visa would not be approved due to new guidance isn't approved, and the interviewer had said that he hopes this problem is solved sooner rather than later, and our visa isn't approved because of this new guidance issue. Once there is an update, we will be contacted by the embassy but since there are also many pending visas, there might be a delay. (Couldn't edit original post)

Sorry to hear about the delay. Good that they kept the pasport. Do you know if they also hold off on issuing visa to others inside the Tokyo embassy the same day too?

Hey guys I just want to share my wife latest visa interview result. THANK God she got APPROVED!!! she told me they didn't ask her anything. All they asked for was my I864 and my w2's. Nothing on the sponsors side. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

Congratulations .. Wish I had a legit reason to expedite, but we don't. We are just going to wait for the embassy to start processing visas again and wait for our interview.

Congratulations, so happy for you!!! Did she bring original I-864 and W2's, or copies? Fingers crossed that she'll get the passport back quickly, so she can travel to the new home ❤️

I actually sent her a scanned version of the i864 and she printed that one. They accepted the scanned version. For the w2s she had original since I left them there when I traveled back in February . They actually told her within a week

No they did not give any timeline on that, just that they have no idea when this problem will be solved, and they hope it gets solved soon.

I am so sorry that happened, hope it can be sorted out soon!! and yes keeping the passport is always a good sign!

Thank you so much. My wife told me there was no one at the embassy. She said she got there two hours early and they actually interviewed her as soon as she got there.

Felicidades 🎈🎊🎉!!!! 
 

It is so exciting to see approvals here in our side of the world! I’m so happy for you both! 
 

Can you tell us her experience? I think she is the first Latin American applicant that got approved so far.  After all this COVID mess I mean. 

Thank you for the "felicidades". I just got off the phone with my wife and I kept asking her what did they ask her and she told me they only asked her for birth and marriage certificate.  No police certificate. They also asked her for my I864 and my w2s. They did not even ask her for the tax transcripts.

 

As long as for the questions she said they did no ask anything pertaining our relationship. Another thing they asked her was if our son was traveling with her, to show them his passport. 

 

My wife told me she actually got there 2 hours early and since there was no one there that had interview, they let her in and interviewed her at once.

 

She actually took her ds5540 with her and she told me the officer told her that it's ok. That they didn't need that.

 

Now, I'm not saying all interviews will go as smooth but that was my wife experience.

Hahahaha "what exactly did they say? My friends at VJ need all the details so they can prepare too" 😁

 

I'm glad that she had a good experience! I remember all too well how nervous I was during my J1 interview years ago. And interviewing for the approval to start a new life is on a whole different level than for a 6 months adventure abroad :)

Even though our interview is (sadly) not happening anytime soon, my hubby gets nervous every now and then and asks me if I'll be sad if he "messes up" since I am the paperwork pro in our marriage. We all know that all we need to do is be honest, but it's still such a pressure on the applicant...

Lol, that's exactly what I told mey wife. To give me some detailed feedback so I can share with you guys. And tell me about the pressure. My wife couldn't sleep for days thinking about the interview. I have a question, when the status on ceac changes to "issued" what does it mean?

I think it means that the visa has been issued? Whoa that's fast!

Yes, that was exactly what I thought. They told her within a week . That's the reason I'm asking.

Did you guys have a joint sponsor?

Yes we did but my wife told me the officer didn't ask anything pertaining the joint sponsor.
