Called and the kind gentleman answering the call, informed me that a mail have been added to my casefile but could not see what it was- which I know is our packages as they were received a couple of days prior to me calling.  So to count 30 days - praying it will be all going through by the end of November and an interview date early December.  Praying for Christmas.  Praying.   
 

Me too, they got my AOS on 16 Oct and IV packet 1 Nov in system. So hoping case complete sometime this month. ????

I'm getting ready to send the IV package and just wanted to check/confirm before I mail it out. The below is from Saylin's post of what is required ( Thank you Saylin) but I have also read of others who included pictures, phone log, and other items that I had already included with my initial I-130 application. Should I include the proof of relationship in this package as well?

- Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal
- Two passport-style photographs (2" x 2") of beneficiary (on the back, write: beneficiary's full name, date of birth, and case number)
- Copy of bio-data page of beneficiary's unexpired passport
- Original or Certified Copy of beneficiary's birth certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY
- Original or Certified Copy of marriage certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY
- Original police certificate(s)

Thanks








Just send in the require documents for now, you can bring photo and other items like that to the interview.

Hi friends congrats to all. I have a question, I am with my husband ( US citizen) in my country waiting for interview. If my husband send an email to the us embassy asking to be with me at the interview is any possibility they accept ? Do you think is a better idea? He is here only to suport me with NVC step and now with interview. Any suggest will help us a lot!

Yes you can email the embassy to ask if you can attend interview with your husband.  That what my husband did and he got a email back saying that I was added to access list so I could attend with him.

Your find it on the under local US embassy/consulate guidelines at travel.state.gov site. just select your embassy and it will tell you any specific information that embassy might have.  Like LND(london) shown the step to visa interview, forms and document, location, medical appointment and how to sign-up for returning your document after interview by signing up for courier or pick-up your document yourself.  That done at http://did.bz/ivbook for UK embassy. I hope this help you out.

If you need to correct anything on the DS 260 you need to let the NVC know first so they can go in system and correct it for you.

I read a VJ message a wife went to her husband interview and was not at first allow to go in embassy with her husband because she was not on the access list.  They did let her in at the last moment, but she recommend that you check with the embassy before you go with your sponse.  So I went to the UK Embassy website, and they was a link for questions about going into the embassy.  I send a email request to them and gave them the case number, my name and date of interview and request to be added to access roster so that I could attend interview with my husband.  It was granted and I was email that I was on roster and to bring ID on interview day.

No what you received was the standard P4 interview letter (had to go look at mine from almost a year ago.). The case Complete usually comes 1 week after case complete. Watch them send it this week. Should land tomorrow or tuesday. But thanks for sharing.

 

And even though it says we will forward some of us still like to tracl. Mine wasn't mailed out until a week later. i followed mine all the way to front desk (I knew cuz my casefile was 20 lbs) hehe

 

My case was completed on the 26 Nov and I never receive a email telling me it was finish. However on the 29 Nov we receive a email telling us that our NVC completed the domestic pre-processing of the immigrant visa petition........and that interview was for 24 Jan 14.

Hi all. Could anyone tell me categorically how long a uk police certificate is valid for please?
 
I am a uk citizen with an American spouse so my interview will be at the US embassy in the UK sometime this spring.
 
My police certificate was issued in May 2013 so I am needing to know if it will still be valid for my interview.
 
Thanks in advance and good luck to you all with your interviews.





It is only good for one year. So as long as you get a interview before May you should be good to go.
