IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - March 2014	Should I be worried or call NVC about not getting a IV invoice yet. It's been 15 days since I submitted DS-261 and got an email from them on Feb 26 that they received it. But no IV invoice.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-03-04 10:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	October 2014 Interviews	Congratulations! Glad to see you here!   I'm getting super nervous about my interview, although I know there should be no problem with it. I guess waiting this long makes you worry about everything   Today I've been worried about my age...yes, I know, clearly something to be worried about, since I can't do a darn thing to change it    But every single time I've crossed the U.S border the immigration officer has asked me if I'm really this old, is this really my passport etc. I don't think this will be an issue during the interview though, so I know I shouldn't worry, but somehow I still manage to be worried      Thank you! You as well! I'm already nervous about my husband's interview and we just got here lol. I'm preparing for the worse and the good. There just not enough info for US embassy reviews (Saudi Arabia) that I see that gives you feel what to expect for the interview. And after interview for AP as well. I'm praying for the best inshallah	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-09-23 17:14:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 2013 I-130 Filers	And June. It seems.  And I see one July transfer as well. http://www.visajourn...-filers/page-26   Is it me or is it that only people who come from the Philippines are the only ones getting transferred from May/June/July filters today. I wonder if it's because of what's happening over there.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2013-11-20 22:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 2013 I-130 Filers	It's up in the air really where we will be moving to. It really bases upon my husband's (Beneficiary) job. He's a aircraft mechainc and finally got his foot in the door this last Jan. after going to school and getting his license. Were hoping his job at the Saudi Airlines will transfer him over, but if not I'm willing to move anywhere to his job he get hired at in his field. Were hoping it's probably going to be in California, but anything is possible.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2013-07-07 00:54:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November 2014 Interviews	Husband finished his medical exam yesterday and will get the result soon. It wasn't hard as I thought it might be since he had no medical records. But they made it light on him since he's from Makkah a bit away from Jeddah. Our status changed to "Ready" on Oct 13th as well.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-10-14 22:19:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November 2014 Interviews	[quote name="loveisblind" post="7279751" timestamp="1412746778"] Our pd is 30 april 2013 n we just got interview letter in email..so when did they scheduled ur interview ? I haven't been scheduled yet...just wondering if people called to get their date or if it was emailed....glad your journey is almost over....who would have thought when we started this that it would take so long....   You will get an email, but people call since it's takes few days or more for the email to arrive in the inbox. Everyone wants to know there interview as soon as possible so they usually call first. It's the quickest way to know your appointment. I just got my appointment letter email not to long ago! Finally haha. Now my husband can get started on his medical soon! Edited by Kerstin + Faisal, 08 October 2014 - 01:34 AM.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-10-08 01:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November 2014 Interviews	I hope it won't take them forever to send the email.   I hope it won't take forever either. 28 days until interview and my husband has work every other week. Plus has go over an hour drive out of the city to do the medical since his main home is in Makkah when he has his days off. His work is in Taif and stays up in Taif with room mates until his day off to go back home since driving an hour each direction is tiring to just to get home. And Taif is 2 hours from Jeddah. No way he can do it on his work days with his hours and the drive. Not counting how many days it will take to get the medical done since my husband doesn't have medical record.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-10-06 14:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November 2014 Interviews	Hope inshallah to get the appointment letter email soon so we can start the medical as soon as possible. Inshalah will get the email today or in a couple of days.	Kerstin + Faisal	Female	Saudi Arabia	2014-10-06 10:27:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2008 Filers!	Hey "Crazy & Mad" when my fiancee called, they told her to wait 30 days. I do hope we get the document on time. If we get to AOS stage without the NOA2, ill just go ahead and apply and write a letter explaining whats going on. IT doesnt make sense to file for I-824 and pay $340 and wait till God knows when...	pilotayo	Male	Canada	2008-12-13 22:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2008 Filers!	Hey just wanted you guys to know I got my medical done yesterday at Vancouver, and actually got a call from the Consulate this morning, I was given an appointment date of Jan. 20, 09. Things seem to moving along at a satisfactory pace for me. Although we still haven't recieved a hard copy of the NOA2. Best of luck to everyone still sorting through the process.	pilotayo	Male	Canada	2008-12-11 14:59:00

But then again, they said the application was being forwarded to Montreal even after we said Vancouver. I'm guessing we should call NVC or should it be Montreal Consulate to have it forwarded to Vancouver? Same here my case is still saying pending but we received our NOA2 on Firday, it seems that things are a bit Wacky at VSC at the moment. We have not had any notification that it has been forwarded yet I would give them a call 0016033340700 press 1 for English then 5 you will need your eac number and both your dates of birth They are a bit busy at the moment I tried to call a couple of times and just got put back to the automated service GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS Thanks, I have tried the NVC number a couple of times but it keeps ringing engaged.	pilotayo	Male	Canada	2008-11-10 18:06:00

Philippines	Successful CFO in Manila!	thank you for the immediate response. i have another question though, what documents did you show during the 1 on 1 session with the counselor?    My hubby is a naturalized USC, I was asked: -When did you meet -How long do you know each other -When did your husband went to USA -Do you have pictures together My 1 on 1 counselling at CFO Cebu lasted for 2-3 minutes only as compared to those who were fiancees and spouses of foreign nationals. Some lasted for 10,15 or worst 30-45 minutes..   For Fil-Am couples: during my session some of my group mates shared the ffg questions -When did you meet -Why did you both decide to get married -How often do you communicate -Asked about divorce and annulment decree	ed007	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-06-14 18:50:00

Philippines	Appointment Letter	Hi again guys,   It seems that 1st week of July is over and I don't have the appointment letter yet. Does it really take long to receive that letter? We've tried calling NVC for several times and the people there are very discouraging and don't know how to show empathy! We've been on hold for 22 minutes (2nd call) and 25 minutes (3rd call) and when they finally answered it took them a minute only saying "I DON'T KNOW"! We felt it is a waste of time and money calling for an update ---- not so HELPFUL at ALL!   This is now the 23rd day from the time that we received an email saying that our case is complete and 1 1/2 month more would be a year from the time we started the application. Does it really take long to do this application? to be honest we did not encounter serious problems when it comes to our documents but why is it seems forever for the appointment letter to come!	ed007	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-07-06 02:02:00
