IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

 

I have read many times that if they take your passport you have your Visa and if they give it back you DO NOT HAVE VISA so I would say,  CONGRATULATIONS I'M SO VERY, VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.  I'm so happy for you and your parents. :D  :dance: :dance: :yes: :dance: :dance:
 

 

Thank you Soloenta. I hope its moving in the right direction just like ou mentioned. The CO actually said within 2 weeks. I just cofirmed with my mother. She told me that she asked the CO twice whether he meant 20 or 15 days and he said within 15 days so ...... I really hope to see two passports with two visa within 2 weeks.

Livstrong,

 

When we finished our interview, the gentlemen told us that my spouse was approved.  We got no slip of paper.  However, the people who interviewed with the woman in the next "booth" DID get a slip of paper.  I think it must be optional.  I know we are OK, because we got my spouse's passport back in the mail today (2 days later!).

 

Hopefully your parents' passports will be back in their hands soon!

Thank you Sukie and  I really hope you are correct.

 

I guess I am just concerned about how sometimes they put cases under AP review. I have read stories here on VJ where everything goes fine even the interview is approved but the people dont get their passports for 3-6 months. In those cases they get 221g letter (i guess thats what its called) where they tell them that they need to do futher processing. In my parents cases they didnt give them anything so ...... it seems like a good sign and the fact that CO himself said that both the passports and visa will be issued within 20 days.

 

Did you by any chance check the visa status after the interview? Was there any change in status?

 

Thanks

Hello Everyone. Just trying to get an idea if the following happened to anyone. 

 

My parents went for their interview. CO asked only 3 simple questions and then looked at some pictures. Afterwards he kept their passports and told them that everything is ok and they should expect their passports with the visas within 20 days. Now it does sound like a very good news and I am very much happy but I thought approved or not the CO should have given them some sort of letter stating that the interview has been approved or something. Right? He didn't give them any letter or any colored slip ..... nothing.

 

I tried checking their visa application status right now .... about 3 hours after the interview and the status still says "READY". I am assuming will change within a day to reflect the correct status.

 

Anyone else experienced this ?
