US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvisa interview appointment in Frankfurt, Germany
that doesn´t sound too bad, like I might get a little lucky after all. I´m with the California Service Center, I don´t know if you heard how long they´re currently taking for a NOA2!? It´s a joke! But hopefully the consulate part will be superquick as you said. Thanks guys and good luck for you too (F)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvisa interview appointment in Frankfurt, Germany
hi everybody, I was wondering how long you guys waited for your K1 interview in Frankfurt after the consulate had received your case? I get the impression it´s about 6-8 weeks?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPacket 3 Frankfurt Embassy

Thank you so much for your answer smile.png
I am so happy and relieved that I understand and I feel confident again. The only thing is that they are saying: Please send those forms in immediately! If you not do do it will promptly delay your process.
I mean if I take a week to gather this one last document i still need it is not going to delay it for months, right?
And the one big letter with all documents AND forms are only sent to the Embassy in Frankfurt (in my case)?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn't be morr thankful for your guys help!!! smile.png

No worries, Inga! It took me 4 weeks to gather all the documents and mail packet 3 back in on August 2. I still got my appointment letter only 1 week later and my interview is next tuesday!

CaribbeanGetting to the interview in Kingston

Of course anything can happen, but yes that is enough time to get there from Negril. My fiance is about 15 minutes outside of Negril and when he went previously he left at about 3:30am and made it there before 7:00am. It shouldn't be hard to find the embassy either once you guys hit Kingston.  Remember... once you guys get into Kingston just ask a taxi driver. Also, a friend of mine had his interview at 8:00am and didn't arrive until after 8:30am and he was still interviewed. Not to say that is a guarantee, but it is an example of them still interviewing if you are late, but I'm sure you guys won't be. yes.gif  Relax, he's almost home.

Thanks for sharing. It's refreshing to hear a success story! May you have endless years of happiness together!

CaribbeanPls help feeling a bit confused!!
Yes it should. I truthfully never checked it before my fiance's original interview but I definitely seen his follow-up interview date there (until it passed) but there's a section that states whether there is an interview scheduled. Just a fyi... I email Kingston IV, NIV, IV appt, NIV appt email addresses sometimes simultaneously because I'm not always sure which is handling what at which times, but they will respond with whom should be addressed. Sometimes you may get a little added info, but if they don't handle it in their dept you may just get a form letter type email saying they don't handle it. That helps narrow things down.

Thickums I had checked your timeline last week and I was surprised yours wasn't further because we were right there together at one point. Now we're waiting for the visa to be issued at this time. I hope you get some answers soon because this waiting gets really hard on relationships. Hang in there because it's going to be worth the wait. (I'm always reminding myself)

I would email again to ask why you guys haven't received anything yet. I received an email with his interview date within a few days (but it was dated the day after I emailed the DS230) and he never received anything via snail mail. The CSC site gives info interview too once you're registered on it. At the very least I would email or call the embassy asap to get some direct file info that's the only way you can be sure regarding your case.
Good luck!

CaribbeanHow long does it take to recieve Airbill Number for Approved Visa

UPDATE:

 

FINALLY!! 

 

My fiance's visa arrived today at the MoBay DHL and is awaiting his pick-up!! kicking.gif  Dancing all around! dancin5hr.gif Well here my stats that I decided to suffer through without posting because the posting made me more anxious.

CaribbeanHow long does it take to recieve Airbill Number for Approved Visa

We were approved 2-27-14 and although the status has been updated a few times, it is still at "Non-Immigrant - Ready" since 3-3-14. People have said different things, but I wouldn't mind if it just jumps to "Issued" now. So his visa can jump in the DHL truck to MoBay and land ever so gently in my fiance's hand on the way to the airport... Off-Topic2.gif  (sorry, I'm always drifting off and dreaming of happy beginnings yet to come.)

Just try to be patient and enjoy daydreaming to pass the time. wub.png

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)VISA ISSUED w/no cosponsor after 221g

Our interview was December 13, 2013. We were given a 221g for a cosponsor because despite the fact my current income is over 125%, my income for 2012 was significantly lower due to still being a college student. After many failed attempts to collect information needed from an eligible cosponsor I emailed the embassy early February with my 2013 tax transcript attached asking if they would accept my 2013 income as proof that I meet the income guidelines per the I-864p to satisfy the requirements of the I-134 without a cosponsor. My fiancé got a call a few weeks later to drop off his passport and shortly thereafter our visa has been issued!!

I searched exhaustively to find whether you could be granted approval by submitting a new tax transcript after being denied at the interview for an insufficient tax transcript from the previous year and could not find someone who came back afterwards and confirmed approval. Hope this helps someone in the future!

 

First of all I want to say CONGRATS to you both!!! 

 

I wanted to share on this feed my somewhat similar case. My fiance was given a 221g for a few things but the co-sponsor docs were part of it at his Jan. 10th interview. I was hoping my less than $500 deficit for 2012 could be cancelled due to the child support I receive for my 3 kids, but my fiance was told we needed everything from the co-sponsor as well (I only sent her job letter and pay stubs). By the time he had his follow-up interview on Feb. 27, 2014 not only did I send the co-sponsor's 2012 W2 and tax transcript, I also attached my 2013 W2 ( I hadn't filed yet) that showed I made more than enough now that my furlough days were restored. I wasn't sure if they would take that into consideration, but surprisingly my fiance was told by this different CO that he shouldn't have needed a co-sponsor in the first place. Oh well.. he's APPROVED now. What's done is done! Now just waiting for "ISSUED" to show up on the CEAC website. 

 

Does everyone go through AP before Issued once approved? Because his is at READY and has updated every workday since Feb. 27th.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Tax transcripts from prior year due to college

I am so sorry that you did not get 100% approval.  I am glad that you are able to find a co-sponsor and then you will be together. 

 

 

I would like to state to ALL in the JAMAICAN EMBASSY, they will look at previous years income only to meet the income guidelines, they do not care about current income.  If your income does not meet, you will need a co-sponsor.  In addition, they do not consider child support or unemployment benefits as income, they consider that to be inconsistent income.  JA embassy only looks at 125% income guidelines, so please use the I-864p to determine your income from last year. 

 

If you need a co-sponsor, or question that you need one, please just have one ready or be subject to 221g. 

 

Thank you, I truly appreciate this. We have our co-sponsor docs ready. She only has 2 previous years of tax returns because prior to that her husband was on there and we don't wanna bring him into this, but she's been on her job for over 20 yrs so I hope 2 years is enough. I have my last 4 years prepared though. I hope there's no 221g in our future just a happy approval.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Tax transcripts from prior year due to college

Thanks for sharing this because I had questions/concerns. I'm right at the 100% but over the 125% if adding my child support. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to add that but I was hoping since they ask if I'm wholly or partially financially responsible for my kids that there has to be some percentage they take off or add to since I share custody with my ex-husband. Who knows. My fiance's interview is scheduled for Jan. 10th in Kingston and I'm sending him with my stuff, but he will have the co-sponsor's everything as well if they require it. I personally would rather not have one if at all possible.
