Question: I've lived in USA for 5 years and went back to my country due to Covid....Except police record from China, do I also need a US police record for interview??? It's confusing because I'm applying a US visa, so they should have checked my background for this.......my understanding of police record is from a third country, not from the country you are going to live in. Any advice?

Hi guys! Sorry to say that but I'm going to stop posting updates in this group today. After waiting til NVC received our case (another pain in the *ss), things got more faster and our case is ready for interview, and it suddenly gets busier than I expected....preparing docs, wedding plan and discussing prenup stuff, etc. There are still 480+ cases left behind for Dec.....I wish you all get speedy processing soon!!! Especially rooting for @mw & rg k1, thank you for contributing time and effort of sharing data for this group!

Just checked in CEAC, our case is "ready" now!! It only took a friday + weekend to arrived in Guangzhou embassy 🚀 Next step: complete ds160, I134 form and set up appt date We also have the problem with 2022 tax report, since my fiance just filed taxes a couple weeks ago too lol. Please let me know as well if @kcpaty @SaraClaire11 have any updates on that, I appreciate it a lot
