Congratulations. I have updated you on spreadsheet.

 

 

Well people looks like 2 days ahead of schedule. So keep fingers on the buttons. Watch your emails.

 

Those who get interview via phone please report back when you get Interview email. Curious to see how long it takes this month.

 

Congratulations to all.
 

 

Lets keep up hope they get through them all this week...

The Australian Consulate says that it can take 1-3 days to place the stamp in the passport.  We leave a self-addressed Express Post envelope with them, and they mail it to us via Australia Post.  This can take 3-5 days.  Our interview is on a Tuesday (July 1st).  I think we'll get her passport back on Monday or Tuesday of the next week.  So yes - sounds like about the same timeframe as Poland.

 

If think if I had to make a choice of taking my vacation days to go to the interview, or taking days off when my spouse arrived in the US, I, personally, would choose the latter, if you have confidence in your wife's being able to present well.  Your wife will have some mild jet lag when she arrives in the US, and might appreciate having one or two days to get used to the new time zone, but then I'm sure she'd like some time with YOU!

 

Just my opinion...

I am going to the interview and spoke with my employer about additional time off, a life changing event like this only comes around once and taking time off with no pay is worth it to me, I don't want to leave anything up to chance after such a long preparation I want to handle any objections right then and there IF there are any objections, which I am not anticipating.  I am also bringing with me copies of everything that has been submitted PLUS additional information and evidence of our relationship, financial evidence, photos, correspondence, communication, support etc etc.  LIke someone else said better to over prepare and not add any additional time IF they have any questions.  My wife has gone to two previous interviews for tourist visas ( in 20012) and was denied- she feels better having me there with her so I am going...  I think it is a personal choice it is NOT necessary to attend but cant help but imagine that it makes a statement about the applicant and the petitioner.

That's the spirit. Plan that reunion. You are almost there.  I know the waiting is a killer but that's what we here on the thread are for. Good times. :joy:

 

And really no trend to be found. Because this time last year the processing time at NVC was 30 to 45 days from NOA2 to getting an interview. Than they implemented that blasted new I-864 with about a 99% error rate and everything just went insane after that.

 

Funny when I got NOA2 back in 2012 the record for being at NVC was 11 days. I was so stoked to break that. Then USCIS lost my petition file. So I understand. And than well my whole immigration went south and I no longer have a reunion to plan, a husband to welcome or anything. :cry: . Sorry I had a moment.

 

But hey I have all of you. (L)

 

I am sorry, I am not familiar with the details of your history, if you don't mind me asking, "what happened"-- ??

 

How does the saying go, "misery loves company"---  I didn't think about immigration laws when we got married and had children, I went with my heart and NEVER expected this trying JOURNEY.  I read a posting the other day that seemed like a bad situation, I know that no matter what we should remain grateful for what we have and not FREAK OUT over what we don't have...

 

my story I have already dicussed openly here but I probably couldn't have done a worse job in planning and ended up with a 2.5+ year timeframe--  will be three years 12/1/14 (so it will never be three years)--  Nopt sure if I knew that when I started if we could have made it--  I was flying on the seat of my pants -- and sooooooo happy to be sooooo close to the end --

 

and yes thanks to all the support available here - knowing that when I discuss my problem that at least you understand is of value, so many people do NOT understand or care- including my congressman- who made these ridiculous laws---  I still do NOT understand WHY my wife could not come while our application was being processed with significant evidence of our relationship you would think she would have MORE reason to be allowed to pass-- but in THEIR eyes that is MORE reason to turn her down.... and I wonder with the laws apparently so strict HOW do we have 40 plus million undocumented residents?  I  am baffled- but just happy to be beyond the petition, application stages...

 

I buried my head in work (again) just to pass the time--  but soon will be able to look my family in the eye- and tell them how much I love them...  something I am certain MOST people take for granted, and I never will again.

Very unlikely since the window of time is smaller and smaller. For almost all embassies to be in the interview queue for current month they are scheduling you need to be done by 15th.

 

They should be starting with August scheduling next Thursday I am estimating (I am pretty accurate on this). So just hold on.

 

And being here for August Interview thread not so bad we are a fun bunch. :goofy:

 

I know.....  was looking at the trends on the spreadsheet over the last year--  it is 99% an Aug interview.. more time to plan our reunion

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2014 Interviews

 

Dear FD & MDVL - well you don't have to physically move to the August Interview forum - since the July one just rolls over all by itself.  I would think that a July interview has only a slim possibility at this point.  Perhaps it is better to expect an August interview date, and then get very, very excited if a July one comes through.  It's usually 4-6 weeks from the time you find out that your case is complete.

 

I'm glad you finally have CC!  It's such an exciting thing to happen.  But of course, you then start pining for your interview letter!!!

looking at the spreadsheet I could only find ONE previous listing for HONDURAS and it was 3/4 complete to 4/9 interview- 36 days-

 

the advice you are giving is similar advice I give- under promise and over deliver-- EXCEPT when it is my interview- I can NOT help but BELIEVE I will have a July interview and be dissappointed for a few minutes if I dont get it..LOL

I am moving in, my case(s) completed today, I am going to be OPTIMISTIC that I am in the right place and will get a July interview--  I am HOPING and PRAYING I do not have to move to the AUGUST Interview Forum-

 

what do you think?  case complete 6/20 = priority date 8/20/13 if that means anything-

Thanks! I have added myself to the spreadsheet and also posted in the thread!

 

Was your case complete on the 20th or did you call and learn that it was complete on the 20th?   could it have been approved several days earlier and you were not aware?  how often did you call?  The only reason I ask is because approved on the 20th and appointment set on the 24th is a VERY quick turnaround--  if that is the case I am EXCITED to see that level of activity from them.  My case(s) were also completed on the 20th

CONGRATULATIONS to all the Case Completes today.  Great to see lot's of Friday progress.  

 

Are they still working docs from May 22nd, or has anyone latter than that had docs reviewed yet?  I'm a scan date of May 27th for AOS, so just curious to see when I'll get my false checklist.  

tuesday or wednesday next week-- they will look at your AOS if scanned on 5/27- that is my prediction.


FD&MDVLMaleHonduras2014-06-20 22:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

CASE COMPLETE- checklist cost me 23 days

actually I feel anticlimactic - been so stressed - honestly will not relax until after I have an interview date and have my plane ticket purchased- I am going to the interview and reunite my family --  I am allowing 10 days to button everything up there and bring them back with me.

 

but -- having a case complete is another notch in my timeline--

 

the whole process is horrible.

Dear GOD, we are complete  :joy:  after so many months, done, whew, hubby just called and he got grumpy Arthur, that guy was really an as****e on my hubby i was listening to them and my hubby put him down with:

 

"YES, CASE COMPLETED? OK! That's what I needed to hear" :D

 

Guys, thanks for all advices and just - try to hang in there even if very tough.

Yes our case changed today from PAID into N/A.

 

Hopefully I am two days behind you- your AOS checklist scanned 5/20th mine was 5/22.

 

I am going insane waiting.. NEVER did I ever think it could have possibly taken this long--

 

but it has.

 

great news for you--- soon you will have your interview date- THAT is my next BIG milestone in my mind.. then I may be able to try to make some PLANS for the future.

I know what you mean about the strange lethargy that takes over once you have the case complete. Maybe it's from thinking "Well thank goodness I don't have to gather any more paper together for a couple of years!"

Hi SuzAug,

 

Check out this thread  http://www.visajourn...ion-after-elis/  for info on receiving the green card in the mail after POE.  From what I've read, its taking a few months for the green card to arrive in the mail.

 

Good info re: social security cards http://www.visajourn...5546-ssn-howto/

 

Thank you! I went to both of these links; the general consensus seems to be that it takes anywhere from 1 month after POE to 2.5 months to get your actual 'green card' in the mail, so we'll sit tight and wait for that.

 

My husband did tick the "Want a SSN?" checkbox, and his Social Security Card has already arrived, 3 days ago. He was so excited! So at least that part of the process works.

 

When we went to the ELIS website to check the status there, there didn't seem to be a place to check for 'card production' but it said 'Accepted' regarding the payment. Se we'll assume the elves are working on chiseling and sculpting the green card....


OrtolanFemaleNetherlands2014-05-09 08:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2014 Interviews

Anyone know: How long does it take to get the 2-year green card in the mail after POE?  I mean...we do actually get a physical card in the mail, is this correct?

 

Then within 90 days of the expiry of the 2-year card, we file the I-751 form.

 

I think we're so intoxicated with actually GETTING him here that we sort of forgot what happens next....LOL

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2014 Interviews

Ceac site shows that it's at the Consulate in Amsterdam! Now, to try to get our medical and the interview date moved up!

 

Surely they've got an earlier spot for you. They're really good, very efficient (as you well know), and Aug said when he went it wasn't stuffed with people, wasn't terribly crowded. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they get an open spot and you can get an earlier date. Good luck!

We e-filed our MFJ taxes for 2013 using my husband's ITIN number two weeks ago, but the return still not showing up yet on the "Transcripts" part of the IRS.gov site. 

 

I sent my husband all the original 1099s for 2013 that we filed with the taxes, a printout of the taxes that the accountant prepared and e-filed, the IRS website transcript for moneys on account I've paid quarterly for 2013, and a new signed I-864 AOS form. We're thankfully above the poverty line, by a good margin.

 

NVC had a copy of my 2012, 2011, 2010 transcripts.

 

His interview is April 15...do you think all this will be sufficient? Because who knows when this transcript is gonna show up online....  :clock:

Hei vj friends! I need some advice/help. I'll be having my interview this coming April 03 in Manila Consulate.Upon our received email regarding my interview and submitted documents in Nvc,they didn't ask us for a new i-864.But upon checking the consulate review/forum the applicants we're asked to submit proof of finance ( i-864) during their interview. Another thing is me and my husband changed address and it's different from what we submitted in Nvc.

This is the main deal! I really have some confusions right now.Last year when we asked by the NVC to submit our Affidavit of Support i-864, we based the answer for question Part 6. no. 5 and 10 ( current individual annual income) from the 2012 Income tax report.But since i'll be having my interview this year 2014, where should i base my answer to the new i-864 to be shown in my interview? My husband already got his annual income tax return/report for the year 2013.Should it be 2012 or 2013? If 2013, so i will answer to Part 6 questions no. 13.a-c his annual income from year 2011-2013? Before it was 2010-2012 because we based our answer from his 2012 annual income.Please enlighten me.Thanks in advanced.

 

On your interview letter there will be a list telling you what you need to bring. From what I've read on VJ, if your interview is before April 14th, then your 2012 taxes and I-864 that you submitted to the NVC should be sufficient. BUT...if you're worried about it, you can always fill out a new I-864 form with the 2013 tax information in it, and bring that along with a copy of your husband's tax return and W2s to your interview, just in case they ask for it. They might not, but it would give you peace of mind, just in case.

 

[Yearly U.S. tax returns (or a request for an extension) are always due to be postmarked or submitted on or by April 15th of the following year.]

dwheels76,

Finally I made it!

 

 

 

At last my case is completed but i didnt receive any email or letter from NVC . I just called them for the update on my case and as per the NVC agent they will let me know the interview date by the end of this week or month.....

 

 

dwheels76! We got an interview, holy #######, April 8th!!!  I just got the email and now I have some questions, hoping you all can help me out.  My husband is flying back from Russia tomorrow (he was there for work) and is scheduled to leave to Japan for 1 week on March 29th.  Is there any chance he will get his medical in time?  I am going to call on Monday to try and make an appt.  Also, the letter did not request that I be there nor did it mention Proof of Domicile, is this how it usually goes???  Thanks so much, so excited! This is the first time anything has been ahead of schedule for us!

 

Congratulations you guys! It's a great feeling to have this whole thing almost over!

This is one of those situations for embassies that aren't that busy usually and don't usually fill slots up. Some busy embassies have a set time and days and they will shut it down whether they fill dates all or not. Others keep it open to NVC to fill until the next cycle.

 

 

Hi SuzAug I saw in the list above you have received your IL after just 5days your case complete!!wow you are so lucky!!!

 

I just feel relieved. I thought it would be another couple of months before we got an interview. Truly, I was shocked. Happy, but shocked.

Yes he can. They don't restrict how often you leave and come back. There is however a limit on the duration on how long you can be out of the country and still maintain your status. If you want to exceed this limit, you have to apply for a document (re-entry permit).

 

Actually you don't need the physical GC. The stamp that they put on your passport at POE serves as your temporary green card.

 

Thanks for the quick reply! Both of our parents are elderly, and I was worried about traveling requirements. Good to know.

After the Green Card is received, is the spouse with the GC able to travel freely then in and out of the United States (i.e., back to visit his original country)? Or does he have to fill out forms to be able to do so?

So if my husband's interview is after April 15 (which it most probably will be) he'll have to bring copies of our 2013 tax return, with copies of my 1099 forms (I'm self employed)? Do we have to do an updated I-864 too? Or is a copy of the taxes sufficient?

 

And also, dwheels76 thanks so much for adding us to the list. I was going to do it but didn't want to mess it up no0pb.gif

Also, tell your husband to go order his VOG now. The consulate just sent me an email back saying that they no longer do that, and you should do it yourself.

 

Yes, he's ordered it already...thank goodness, because it takes a few weeks to get; it arrived yesterday. We did at least opt-in for electronic communication, giving them our email addresses both over the phone and in writing (email) to nvcinquiry@state.gov.

 

So we're waiting to get instructions/invoices/whatever comes next from the NVC. goofy.gif

We got a Case Number!

Now I want to opt-in to the Electronic Communication with NVC, and I have a question: it looks like you can't do electronic processing UNLESS your Embassy is in Canada, Mexico, China, Jordan, Turkmenistan, Syria, or Yemen. 

 

What about if your embassy is anywhere else? Can you still Opt-In for Electronic Communication?

 

This is STILL confusing.

Thank you.  Yes very long time.  I have seen my wife cry so many times when she feels hopeless; and I have been lying to her every time saying "It's going to be ok. This month we will get approved" since August. Finally I don't need to lie anymore. 

 

CONGRATULATIONS!  I know exactly how she felt; we too felt so hopeless. And every month we'd say "Maybe this is the month, maybe later this month..." and were so let down when we didn't hear anything. But it WILL happen, for you folks who are waiting, it's going to happen. My heart goes out to you and I keep hoping every day for you.
