| Embassy Review : |
Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my journey with you all, hopefully it will help some of you.
Today may be my final day of waiting for my fiance's visa, god willing.
My dates may be a little off on this post, but on my timeline they are accurate.
I sent in my I-129F packet on January 27, 2014 and it was recieved on February 4, 2014. I got my NoA1 soon after in the mail.
My NoA2 was approved in about 31 days. I am so grateful because I know that is extremely fast!
I had an attorney helping me, and he advised me to wait for the hardcopy and then my fiance could fill out the DS-160.
About two weeks later, I called NVC to see if they had recieved my packet. The guy on the phone was really nice and even gave me extra information without me asking (how to schedule an interview, when the packet left NVC.)
My packet reached Kabul. Afghanistan within three days. My case was created on March 24, 2014.
I proceeded to check out the Kabul Embassy website, and luckily I found a link to make interview appointments for Non-Immigrant Visas! I went ahead and made an appointment for April 29, 2014. When I posted on VJ about it, a really kind user informed me that the K-1 visa may technically be a NI, but it was processed as an Immigrant Visa.
I went ahead and emailed the Kabul Embassy and informed them of the mix up. They were incredibly nice and rescheduled the interview to April 27, 2014! Two days earlier!! :joy:
Soon after I emailed the Medical Clinic and requested an appointment. The appointment was for April 19, 2014. My fiance went to the appoint and paid the $500 fee. All went well and he was told to pick up his results one day before his interview.
I want to point out that for Afghanistan(at least in my case) NO PACKET 3 OR 4 OR ANY OF THAT WAS GIVEN. It is my advice to not to wait around for it. Once my interview appointment was made, I recieved a confirmation email and the email also stated the additional documents. Affidavit of Support, Pictures, Medical, ETC.
A POLICE CERTIFICATE IS NOT NEEDED FOR AFGHANISTAN OR PAKISTAN.
Now the interview:
He went through about three security checkpoints and then handed his papers to different windows. He also made a payment for $240.
During his interview he had a translator. The officer interviewing him was very nice and even made a few jokes! After about seven questions (What does your fiance look like? Name some physical characteristics. What do you/her want to do in future? Would you change anything about her physically? etc.) he was given a green slip that stated something along the lines of: Pick up Passport/Visa Sunday 1-3.
I have checked his status on CEAC everyday since then but it has been stuck on ready since then. It was updated on April 27( interview day,) May 1, May 3, and May 4 (today, they are 12 hours ahead of us.)
Today he is going in to hopefully pick up his passport with his visa in it, if God wills it.
This website has been really helpful, and I would like to thank everyone who has helped me!
I hope this post will help guide at least one person!
I will update everyone when I find out if the visa was given to him, which will be latest 3:30 AM PST
Wish us luck everyone!
P.S. if anyone has any questions, feel free to message me |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
