congratulations!!!!!!!!!
can you tell us when ur petition was transfered from vermont to california...??




yes, i sent the I-130 to vermont on Nov. 20,2008 they got it on Dec. 22, 2008 and then i got an email saying it was transfered on Jan 23, 2009. i think the reason that they got my package a month later is because i sent it from bulgaria becasue this is where i am with my husband. and one more month they transfered it.

This period of waiting really is the hardest part, unless you get hosed by the consulate afterwards. Keep yourself occupied doing interesting, distracting, or violently physical things, and keep the faith, si man.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNEED HELP! UPGRADE I-130 PETITION
Hello,

I became a US Citizen on Nov 12, 2008. I got married 4 years ago and filed I130 back then. Currently I130 is approved and in NVC. I sent my certificate of naturalization with a short letter in Nov 12 via email. 2 days later no response. Please let me know what timetable should I be looking for? When to expect any response from NVC and when can I fill AOS? When can my husband expect an interview?

Thanks a lot!

Click HERE for packets you will probably get from the embassy when your petition arrives there. These are actually from Poland, but are used world-wide. smile.gif You should practice filling out and know what to do so when you do get them in the mail, you can fill them out and send back immediately.

This is a list of Example Questions that you may be asked at your interview.

Hey guys congrats to everyone that already had passed their interviews kicking.gif

I have some great news too I passed my interview yesterday and now I'm waiting to receive my passport with the visa in it. The interview was very easy and everybody was extremely nice. It is such a great relief because I was so stressed and nervous about it after all those long months of waiting. My medical exam was the day before and it was pretty easy and went very fast too.

We are so excited we only need to buy the ticket today and we are going to be together real soon kicking.gif heart.gif kicking.gif

Hey guys how is it going??/ I have a quistion to those that have all ready got there hard copy? How long did it take for your hard copy to get the Consulate Office??

I called the Visa Center and have told me it is all ready been sent by DHL on the 1, So thats been 4 working days. But DhL flys on the weekend. So how much time should I give them before i call to try and set up the interview??


My packet took like 3-4 days I can't say exactly because when I called the embassy they toldme they had already sent packer 3 to me. After i got it I had to get all the papers for the interview together and then call them when i was ready to set up the interview date. I dint have to send all the papers back to them I have to take all of them with me to the interview. It seems to be pretty easy at our embassy.

Good luck good.gif

Called NVC, as per everyone's suggestion. They received our petition just yesterday and told me to give a call sometime mid-week to determine whether or not they had sent it off to the embassy yet.

But it's good to know it's moving. All of the touches on USCIS's website was making me nervous. Another touch today still.



That's great I hope you get out of there quickly smile.gif Do you mean that you had touches after the NOA2? huh.gif

Still no NOA2 in the mail, so I can't call NVC to see where our file is. USCIS has shown two different touches since they issued our NOA2, though... no idea why.

I hope everyone else hears some news soon.


Just call them we got our NOA2 hard copy when our case was already sent out from NVC to the embassy.

To all that are still waiting for NOA2 I'm praying for you to hear something ASAP. Good luck guys good.gif

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Medical experience in VITA/Greenberg Clinics - Sofia, BULGARIA
hey guys, just wanted to share our experience with the medical exam...

the medical was scheduled for 8:30am for greenbrug doctors office. we got there at 8:15, they told us to wait and drink a coffee if we like...at exactly 8:30 they told my husband to put his documents on the table, and they asked him his birthday....5 min later they took him back into a room, took an x-ray, and took some blood...around 8:45 he was done. they told him to come back at 10:00am.

we got there again 15 min early so we waited until exactly 10....they took him back checked his breathing, eyes, throat and pushed on his stomach asked if it hurt...then they asked if he had previous surgery if he smoked if he had any tattoos and just some other general questions.... then another doc came and gave him the 2 vaccines he needed. he was done around 10:40. then he went to the front payed $99, they gave him his enveople and x-ray and a copy of his results (which they told him to make 2 copies of for the usa border if they want more) and that was it. all in all the whole medical was bout an hour without the waiting.

the doc office was pretty nice and not busy at all, about 5 other people there. the only thing was the place was hidden in the back of another building so it took us awhile to find it, the taxi driver didnt even know where it was!! lol well i wish everyone a smooth interview and medical exam for those who r still waiting!!!! good.gif
