US Immigration from Rwanda

Doubt there are many questions on this way but starting the topic anyway, maybe it will be useful for someone.

I'm an American citizen petitioning for my minor stepson. We got DQ on 11/14/24. Will update when we get an interview.

Back in 2016, it was a week between finishing at NVC and scheduling the interview, for my husband! I thought it would be easy to bring a child over, but apparently nothing is easy.

I filed for my husband in 2015. Based on the records from our timeline here, the NVC approved the application 9/26, the embassy received it 10/3, and he had his interview 11/14 (this is all 2016). Now I'm petitioning for my minor stepson to come. It's been a nightmare--I petitioned in December 2020 and nothing happened for ages--but we finally were documentariliy qualified at NVC on 11/14. I expected to hear an interview date within a few days, but now the embassy tells me it's the NVC who schedules, and the internet tells me it takes 2-3 months? Do I have that right?

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding my recent K1 visa interview. I was given a 221(g) form, but no additional documents were requested. During the interview, the consular officer asked if I had a particular police certificate other than the one (i submitted the one their embassy website lists as a requirement, though my country has different criminal record certificates)

After the interview, she informed me that my case would undergo administrative processing and that I should wait to hear from the embassy. For your information, she asked basic questions about me and my fianc , which I answered correctly, but didn't request any evidence or proof of our relationship.

It's been nearly three weeks since the interview. I've been checking the CEAC status updates, and it has only been updated twice. My question is: Should I go ahead and submit proof of the relationship and the additional police certificate ( i got it after the interview just incase), even though they didn't ask for them? Or would that be a bad idea?

By the way, this was at the Kigali Consulate.

Has anyone requested and gotten help from their US Representative recently? I sent in a request a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet. When I petitioned for my husband in 2016, I asked for my congressman's help (application was being held up at NVC due to a USCIS error that had him flagged as previously denied/deported) and heard back much sooner. But it's a different representative and a different world this time, and this one has more celebrity than the last one. She's an immigrant herself, so hoping her office will be sympathetic.

I'm applying for my little stepson this time. I'm sure everyone's trying this but I laid it on about uncontrolled covid and school interruption. I applied December 2020, still NOA 1 only. Texas SC.

I had an idea that applying for a minor child was going to sail through in no time at all!

Hi everyone s I m from Pakistan currently living and reside in Rwanda since 2009 I sent a inquiry to NVC when we submitted all required documents, requesting for interview to be conducted in the country I m residing in (Rwanda) Today we received an email stating they have accepted all our documents and they will work with US embassy in Islamabad, Pk to schedule an interview.Is this just an auto reply for documents being accepted? Is there any further steps can we take to have interview conducted in Rwanda?
