Well, now my fiance is gonna need to order a court certificate to show that the charges were dropped from the ridiculous disturbing the peace charge from 13 years ago :o THIS apparently is something not on the police certificate so I have been told he will need this at the interview to show what happened with the case.

Another 2 week wait to get this piece of paper. :o

I feel like the floor gave way when I heard that one, we've waited so long! A few weeks wait here, a few weeks wait there, it never seems to end I am so sad. Just started crying yesterday... :(

*sigh*

Annette

Oh Annette. I am so sorry to hear about all this. I am sure that everything will be taken care of soon and the two of you can finally put this circus called USCIS behind you.

Hang in there hon, you'll get through it (F)

I know Annette, this waiting seems to never end :sigh: The good thing is that it will all be cleared up about the incident with the court certificate!

I too am a bit sad... Eric and I decided to ask for our interview to be postponed :( we don't think we'll be able to put all the papers together on time because of this new job he's applying for. I know it's the right decision, and I was not planning on traveling right away after getting the visa either.. but still it's sad to be back waiting.. I am not sure how long it will take to get a new interview.

Its just upsetting because so many other couples (that are not international couples) we know, who got engaged after we did have already gotten married and/or moving on with their wedding plans.. and we can't do anything without a date :crying:

Well, I have good news, and bad news. The good news is that Fred received packet 4 today and his interview is November 21st. The bad news is that he has a plane ticket for that very day to come see me because we want to spend Thanksgiving together. I just hope the embassy can reschedule him as soon as he gets back. We never thought we'd have his interview already. To think, this started with everything going too slow, and now the last part went too fast! :wacko:

Fred had emailed the embassy Saturday to tell them he couldn't make the our original Nov. 21st interview since he'd be on a plane to see me. They called him this morning, not reading the email because they wanted to change his interview to Nov. 28th, but he said no, I emailed you and said I would be in the US until the 9th of Dec. and they said OK, and gave him a date of Dec. 13th, which is the same week he comes back. It's so good to know when this will be over!

That's great that it was re-scheduled so soon! Ours was also re-scheduled for January.. but I need to call tomorrow so they can tell me the exact date.

I'm just worried because by january the approval of our petition will be already expired.. and I'm not sure how that works? Will the Consulate extend the validity of the approval automatically or will I have to ask them to?

verunka, congratulations and good luck on the interview :thumbs:

The consulate is supposed to automatically extend the NOA2. But to be on the safe side you can shoot them an e-mail requesting for the extension. Better you do it yourself than rely on them especially when you are so close :yes:

Thanks! That's what I thought... I sent them an email last week asking to postpone the date and I asked what would happen if the approval date was expired. .. they said my interview can be re-scheduled until January, but they did not say anything about the approval :(

I'm going to call them anyway, just to be 100% sure.

I want to say that as long as you have your new case number from NVC he can go ahead and schedule the medical.

NVC received our case two days after we were approved but it was stuck there due to the change of embassy and my address. Finally, it was sent out to the embassy in Zagreb on Friday. I'll call tomorrow, they should have it. I should get my package 3 right away, and i don't have a clue what should happened after that. I guess I'm going to have to wait for the instructions about medical and the way interview is scheduled because there's hardly anybody on VJ from Croatia.

Congratualtions NYBlubird! I am so happy for you guys.

Teresa - glad you were able to reschedule, hope things work out for Eric and he finds something soon. Alan finally got a call in regards to the police certificate, it's been issued (YAY!) so we can finally get moving again.

KTJett - not sure about scheduling now, Alan waited until he had Packet 3 before he scheduled his but I think as long as you know what doctors it's fine. Heck the sooner you can get all of this D-O-N-E the better. Keep us posted! :thumbs:

Well I am all moved into the new place and anxious to get my fiance over here, we're almost there gang let's keep the faith! *hugs*
