QUOTE (Vibha and Michael @ Jul 29 2009, 07:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone...Vibha had her interview on the 28th. Her Visa was approved. We are happy that this stage in our life journey together is behind us. We will be flying home to Texas on the 1st of August - POE of Newark.

We will post later with details but the interview was heavily biased towards dates of past events. Over 40 questions were asked. The consulate staff were nice and it did not seem like that many questions , it was more of a conversation than an interview. It got over in 15-20 minutes, and she heard the magic words....Your Visa is approved, after she said, "Do u want to see my husbands passport, he is waiting for me at the stars and stripes lounge?"

Thanks to God and the wonderful people on Visa Journey, without whom this journey would have been expensive and more stressful!!! than it already was!!!! kicking.gif

Wishing all those waiting....quick approvals and case complete....Godbless star_smile.gif


wow! Congratulations.

Few of us are still stuck with this process though. We're having so much fun dealing this whole #######.

Oh I missed this thread. How are you guys doin now?
I know most of y'all are in the US already and I'm really glad you're finally in your spouse's arms.
Waiting for Case Completion here so I dropped off to ask if how long (averagely) did it took you to get your case completed at NVC after they received all necessary docs?

Regards,

LÜvtechwifey

We have interview date aug 17. You can read my timeline in signature or from posts in this thread. Just a short time I can kiss my honey and get the visa.


Good luck on your wife's upcoming interview. smile.gif

Hey Steve.

You'll prolly get an interview date by August 2nd week if you don't get it this month. As what I've read from some other threads, NVC is setting up an interview every 2nd week of the month.

My husband and I are indeed positive to be case completed at least this month. So hopefully we'll also get an interview date by August. Just keeping our hopes high. That's all we have left in this process.

Good luck to us.

sleep.gif This process is indeed tiresome. There some questions in the form that requires good judgment. whew!

Anyways, I just sent my IV packet yesterday. I know it will get in at NVC first than AOS so we'll probably receive a false RFE.

Hi Guys! I think I'm the only one left in NVC to be case complete. Haha
We've been so busy this past months but we are taking baby steps now..
This week, we'll surely fill out the I-864 and I-864A for my hubby and mom in law.
Then send it to NVC.

Goodluck Kath for the interview and the rest of y'all guys.

I'm finally back. It's been quite a while since the last time I last posted. Back then was a bit excruciating.
Now, my husband will be paying the Bills for NVC one of these days this week.
I'm bit lost now, my batchmates as far as what I have seen, have gone to far from me., which was a good thing.
Hopefully we wont have any problems in the next steps.
My husband and I still need your help guys.

Cool to see a lot of my fellows from November filers graciously moving fast in this process and are almost done.... yes.gif

While us, I don't even know when are we taking the next step...I'm just tired and needs some break. My husband has no time which breaks my heart, and seeing you guys so excited to finally be with your love. So to forget the bad feeling, I'm making myself busy going back to school.

later:)

Good luck to everyone!!!

good day guys.

I'm glad to see folks here moving so fast and almost case complete.
I've been away for quite a short time but most of the time I sneak here.

I'm glad that Chrito is almost case complete and so as with the others. I think I'll be the last one to have a case complete here. sad.gif
I can't help feeling a lil envy with y'all guys who are almost near the end. As much as I want to be with my husband soon, but he can't seem to have extra time for our paper work.

Have a great day ahead everyone.

when i checked the USCIS - i got this one

On February 19, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, call 1-800-375-5283 to update your address.

GOSH! this makes me think sooo much now... i have to ask my husband if he received the mail so that we can sort out this as soon as possible.



I'm sorry for the RFE kath.
Wait for the mail and after receiving it, tell your hubby to submit the additional docs as soon as he can to proceed with the process.
God bless!

I told yah, "there can be miracle, when you believe. though hope is frail, its hard to give." lol
My hubby is still busy with the series of exams he's in, so he still doesn't have time to call NVC to check if we already have case number. I don't know if I am allowed to call NVC though.
Hopefully guys, I'll catch up on those who are already notches over than us.

My hubby was sick this past almost 3 days. The more and more I should be beside him.
And this is one good sign the end of this process is getting near.
I was about to loose hope that I will never see our case online, but God was so good, he even gave
us a bonus of getting transfered to CSC. I might thinking expecting too much, but to those got transfered only took at least 2 months to get approved? though noone knows how long.

HI guys, Just hangin around.

I just have a quick question, as to what I am figuring out, you think we are looking forward for a 6-7 months until we get our approval? I saw some VSC filers from July who are getting their NOA2.

crying.gif While CSC is processing August filers now...
Cutie_PatootieFemalePhilippines2009-01-11 05:49:00

If only all of us are in CSC we are 3 months away from Approval. I saw an august filer, NOA1 dated August 8, 2008., And they are already approved. Good luck to CSC filers here... Your approval is just an inch away.

CSC seem to be moving so fast. While VSC has been sleeping all this time.
