@@lexbitte Thank You very much...this process is definitely not for the weak...especially doing it through a pandemic
@@lexbitte how long ago was your interview? Congrats for making it through
@@henessy.-.45 The pandemic coupled with Trump travel ban destabilized the whole process and created some serious backlog for NVC and the Embassies. I am glad you finally got a date

Thank you very much and wish then the best

Thank you everyone blessing for all of us waiting to reunited with our love ones!!! I can’t wait to have my daughter with me!!! God will help us all!!❤
Some people say what questions they ask in interview so please attention:
They will just ask you questions about your included case. If you applied for immigration visa so they will ask about your family and spouse. If you applied for non immigration visa so what type of documents you submitted and what will you bring there they will ask about that. Just study your documents which you will bring they will ask all questions about that not any other things.
Do we have to submit our new police certificate is that important ?
Finally got my Interview date 🙏🙏, hoping for the best 😊
God bless you
U got approved
Where is it?
dharam pal yes I did
daniel fajardo my interview was in Jamaica

Crazy my lady has being waiting on letter in mail for an interview since MAY. Request to know why the wait times are so long in Kenya?
This video contradicts what the website states. It says you do not have to bring any financial documents that were already uploaded.
Depends on visa type. I applied for K1 and it didn’t require any online uploads so my husband will have to bring everything in person
They asked for a "recent" finacial documents to be uploaded on the website & needed to bring during the interview
*financial
@@sharlynet2521 who asked for this and where did they ask you? I only have a message saying my financial sponsor MAY be required to provide updated income details. I don't have time to get them to send it from the USA so I'm hoping that I don't need to bring them.
Mine is on 15th of August 2019...yall wish me good luck.
Good luck. Mine is the 30TH Of July 2019.
Are you interviewing in Lagos, Nigeria?

Hello how to create biometric register
Thanks you so much pal
Do I need to update my i864 before my interview? Or do i take the one I originally uploaded.
Originally uploaded, I 864 never expires. You take the latest tax return and W-2 and the one previously submitted.
My husband he has interview next month and I lost my marriage certificate 😢we got married in turkey since we are foreigners we can’t get another one there’s no anyway we could get only a document where it shows our marriage date and info but as they said there’s no any guarantee if the US embassy accept it or not please share your experience if you had the same issue.
Thanks a lot
Una consulta, con respecto al Formulario I-864 Declaración jurada de apoyo, este ya fue enviado en su momento al CEAC, pero si mi hermano cambia de trabajo, ¿este se tiene que actualizar? y enviar al CEAC? o solo llevar el formulario actual a la cita.
Hi is the interview letter they send to the email the one that needs to be printed or is it located somewhere else i haven't recieved anything in the mail only the email.
Alguna referencia de una vez que esperas la cita en el consulado el tiempo que bajo su experiencia a sido programada?

I’m from Greece, I sent them my papers late April, and still haven’t heard anything from them. I checked my case status on their website and it says my case is ready for an interview, but no paper has arrived that I or my family know of.
hey can someone help.ill ask my lawyer too but I just wanted to ask this here as well for others who might have same question.
my wife received an appointment date scheduled for the IR1 visa interview. she is in Ecuador. im in the USA . this video says the people on the email or letter should attend the appointment, so does that mean I should also attend? these 2 years waiting for this day ive assumed we both would attend. now I am unsure. if I attend ," the petitioner" do I also need to bring my original birth certificate or can I just bring my passport? thank you.
I saw on my guidelines that the petitioner , Me , is not required to attend the interview. but my wife reads lots of social media groups where they say the spouse was at the interview and sometimes they asked the spouse to wait int the waiting room and sometimes the did ask for the spouse to join.
I made Aplication on 2013, now 2023 the told me it was approved and nothing more.
I don’t know what to do next.
What if you got wrong spellings of your name on appointment letter? Please tell what to do then?
I have same problem. Please tell me
Gave my interview on 7th june and sent the required documents after that, till that my case was in administrative processing, now status at web portal is changed to "READY" mentioning this reason... Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment.
Can you please guide on this?
salman haidery I recommend contacting them and explaining this to them.
did you set up your original interview by yourself and they sent you an appointment letter? or did they set up your original interview for you and then send you a letter?
david huynh I received my first appointment letter after 14 years in may 2018 and had my first interview in june. They put my case on administrative processing but after providing them the required documents they again sent me an appointment for owth and biometrics. Finally got my visa last weeks and now ready to travel in next couple of days

Is there anything to pay before the interview? Is the interview free?
If a family is immigrating does each member if the family need to register an appointment? I cant find that info anywhere.
When do you get tour fingerprints taken
I dont understand the part where the sponsor is asked for the tax papers and w2 which is already uploaded to CEAC site which they have already reviewed before calling for interview.. so why they are asked to bring with them? and what if someone who don't have the immunization records ?
It’s not necessary to bring them if you submitted them to the NVC, I’m in the same situation just got approved for my mom in Mexico and waiting for her appointment in ciudad Juárez, I’m expecting to wait 2-3 months for an interview, she got approved this august 30th.

Hi I have my interview tomorrow and I would like to ask. On the interview checklist i gathered all the required documents that I have to bring. Still there is one part Im still worried about and that is I have to show evidence of relationship with the petitioner, wich is my mother. I do have copies that we communicate through social media and that we exchanged pictures. But I do not have pictures of me and my mother together. Is that going to be an issue? Thanks 👍

@@yowlhinabdullahi8081 If you don't mind, what questions did they ask you and how long did it take?
PunjabiBall3r Hey there!
Well it took almost 7 hours, bcus there were so many people for different visas. First u have to raise ur right hand and swear to tell the truth and nothing but the the truth, bcus if u dont well they already have ur information. I was there for the F1 visa (immigration) so my interview took 5 or 7 minutes. They asked me about Where I was born, Where I was before coming to Holland, education background, background of my parents like job, age, names, address etc. Also some kind of proof of communication, with my mother, like pictures or chats, like on FB or whatsapp. After that the counselor will tell u if its approved or not. Good luck bro its gonna be ok. Just dont be nervous 👍

I call spoken with a person American person for Dakar, and they give me email address. They replied back In 24 hours time, and said we will not be receiving anything from the consular, our Interview have been confirmed and to be ready on that date for the Interview.
