The second interview went well (according to my wife).

The interviewer went through all normal interview questions from scratch: how did you meet? when did you get married? where does your husband work? chat history, wedding pictures, when was the last visit? last visit pictures, hotel confirmations, ... basically all the staff covered by VJ members for the interviews.

My wife said that at the end, the interviewer said that they wanted to ensure the marriage was bona fide. He said everything looked good.

He returned the chat history pages to my wife, and he said that everything is good and he would give the information to the CO for the final decision.

 

But until they call my wife for an updated medical, I will remain skeptical, because we never know, the CO might have a different opinion.

 

We remain hopeful, this has been a long AP process, 9 months so far

Any update?

Nothing yet, and they are not providing any updates at all.

They have kept my wife's passport since 17 May 2022

Ceac still shows Ready (hasn't changed since the initial interview).

ello VJ family. I hope all is well.

I know we have seen some crazy things in the immigration world, and I hope some of you can shed some light on this case status update for us:

Our case status never changed from Ready. My wife's initial interview was in 17-May-2022. She was given a white 221(g) form for missing documentation.

We sent the docs and they were received on 26-May-22.

They called my wife for a subsequent interview. The interview was on 21-Feb-2023. They told her all went well and they will contact her.

The date last checked was changing frequently, but the status never changed from Ready. The last date last checked was 08-May-2023.

Today, the status changed to "Expiring Soon".

I know I was tracking some cases in Casablanca and some of them went to "expired" or "Expiring soon" and then ended up being "Issued".

These are the last updates on our case:

Can anyone make sense of this? 

 

I really need some good news here

 

Thank you all

Also, I noticed that they re-opened the IV application, and the civil docs now say N/A (Civil documents said Accepted before)

From the cases I was tracking (and again, I know all cases are different), all the cases that went to Expiring Soon, ended up being Issued.

I guess we will wait for the phone call to ask for the updated medical, or to tell us the next steps.

They kept my wife's passport since 17-May-2022 (over a year now)

Looks like it went so long the embassy wants the Iv updated

have they told her to have a new medical exam as that might need to be updated unless she took a new medical for the Feb 2023  interview

The congressional case worker escalated the case today to the department of State, because they are not getting responses to the congressional inquiries. 

These are the screen shots of a case I was following in Casablanca. The progress is insanely crazy: The case went from Expired to Refused to Nonimmigrant visa Application Received to Approved to Issued.

Agree its time to sue at this point if there continues to be no movement in the coming months.
