Hello all. I had my interview today. It went well. It was scheduled for 9.30 am and We reached embassy at 9.20 😂😂

 

But we were able to skip queue as it was immigrant visa. 
 

Officer asked me few questions as below:

 

1. My education 

2. Where do you plan to stay in the US?

3. When were you married? Is she your first wife? 😂😂

4. is that your only child?

5. Do you plan to work in academia or industry in the US?

 

I was also asked for bank statements. Since we don’t need it. Still i had taken payslips which I provided to them.

 

She told me that we were approved. My ceac still shows interview ready but case update date has changed. I am not sure what and when it should show changes.

 

Anyways, hope to receive passports soon. 
 

Thank you everyone for your support and suggestions. Will keep you updated 

 

 

Hi! 
congrats!

In my case, I had my interview on a  Monday, on Wednesday it showed ready, and on Thursday I got my passport back!

hope this helps

Hi @Laulau thanks for the info. Quick questions, after your PD was current, did you receive your IL right away, in the first week or something? Did you see any changes in your application on the ceac site? What was your embassy?

 

Thanks again and have a nice trip

Hi! Thank you!

My PD became current on December, and the next month, specifically on January 5th a received my IL, my embassy was Bogota, I am from Venezuela, but our embassy is closed.

The only change was that it said “In transit” on the CEAC site! And near the appointment it said “Ready”

Congratulations!!!! Did your american daughter have to attend the interview as well? I am in a similar situation with my first child who was born in the US

no, not at all! But she attended just because I didn’t have anyone else to take care of her!

Hello everyone!

I updated my visa timeline

i had my interview on 02/26 everything went smoothly!

only related questions about my proposed endeavor and past visits to the US

I have a 5 year old that was born in the US with my tourist visa due to a complication in my pregnancy, so they asked about that time I stayed there but nothing further!

thank you for everything we’re all set with our Immigrant Visas!

good luck to you all

Hi everyone,

I've updated the table above to reflect my current status. Interview letter arrived on January 9th, interview was today, February 13th.

Everything went very well, in and out within an hour. Only basic questions and nothing but smiles and a friendly demeanor from the consular staff.

We were told to come back on Friday to pick up the passports 👍

Congrats!!!!

Not really at all, she asked me one question about my skillset, that all gets done with the I-140 really. She just was making sure I had all the right paperwork in terms of police checks and my medical which got in just in the nick of time. 

Congrats! That is awesome! I’m kinda nervious about my appointment also but my lawyer assured me that they do not have the jurisdiction to question the approval of the I140, and that the interview is practically just to make sure that you are who you said you were in your application and make sure that u haven’t had any problems in the US before this time! 
 

good luck with everything and safe travel! 😁

Random CEAC question - my status changed to “Ready” on Jan 10. I’m not sure if that means they’ve received my medical results? I doubt it as my medical was on the morning of Jan 9, but otherwise there’s no way to tell if the embassy has received or will receive my medical docs before my interview this Friday 19 Jan - except just hope 😅 I’m in London

Nop that just means that your case is at the Embassy! It has nothing to do with medicals! My case is ready since Jan 10 and my medical is Feb 19th, my interview is Feb 26th! Hope this helps!

Mi abogado me dice que agende todo en Bogotá, porque es la última información y en donde se estarán atendiendo las visas correspondientes a los Venezolanos

La embajada de Caracas está cerrada desde el 2017 y me dieron cita para Caracas Venezuela, a alguien le ha pasado lo mismo?

My country of origin is Venezuela, the letter says the Appointment is in Caracas but our embassy is closed!

I assume the appointment will take place in Bogota in that case because they’re currently taking care of the US visas of Venezuelans!

Tomorrow I’ll have a chat with my lawyer about that!

What a relief... thatnks @dabursot2 !! 

BTW, I thought it was really strange that the DQ letter is in a .rtf format 😂

Yes I also received the same one! They have changed a little bit, they used to say DQ but not anymore don’t know why! My parents got a IR5, and it said DQ 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Happy Holidays everyone,

 

I am new to this platform. I came across it on the weekend.

 

I have an interview in two days in the EB2-NIW category. I am a bit nervous, to be honest and just want to get some insights from those who have had an interview regarding the questions to expect. And generally, the best way to approach this interview.

 

Many thanks in advance.

  

 

 

 

 

It would be really helpful if you fill out your timeline, so we and other future members can compare!

when was your PD, NVC DQ and When did your IL came? 
 

thank you! 

I sent my docs on 10/17/2023 and got DQ today 11/03/2023 I guess it certainly goes through faster via mail. 

Can you add me!

EB2 NIW

PD: 10/20/2022

Dq:10/03/2023

Interview date: waiting

location: Bogota (originally caracas, but closed at the moment)
