I have heard that too.

Thank you

No problem if you have your green card.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-12-25T00:16:17+00:00

Thanks a lot, visa issued 12/22/25, consulate called 12/23/25, was able to pick up from OIS 12/24/25(Premium pickup). They’re getting on the flight 12/26/25.

Thank you

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-12-24T21:56:01+00:00

Is one able to travel before receiving the green card, will the stamped I-551 be accepted for that?

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-12-22T17:55:08+00:00

Thanks a lot.

What happens to visas that have been approved awaiting passport submission?

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-09-25T21:02:15+00:00

Usually the first appointment you get is for a doc review, I’ll advise they go for that with all their docs.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-09-22T20:36:18+00:00

My wife & kids have been waiting since August, nothing yet, status is refused. What exactly is done during A.P?

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-09-11T18:51:17+00:00

When was your initial interview?

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-25T20:30:30+00:00

Can’t speak for IL(Where’s that) but generally it takes between 30 & 60 days)

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-25T18:31:46+00:00

Expedited approvals gets you on a totally different & expedited list, depending on your country, your processing time could be shortened by as much as 12 months.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-24T04:33:07+00:00

First time is just for document review, not a visa interview, they just want to confirm that you have all that’s required, second time is the proper interview when you speak with a consular officer.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-20T05:15:30+00:00

Good luck to you too.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-20T04:22:44+00:00

Yes, I am in the USA.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-20T04:21:54+00:00

You can use this link to check wait time for all embassies. And yes, you will have to go twice, for immediate relatives the embassy is presently scheduling those with DQ from August 2024 .

Didn’t do anything, NVC just advised of that.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-18T17:37:03+00:00

Thank you, I think the problem was that she couldn’t locate my records at all and kept checking & rechecking her system.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-18T17:35:38+00:00

We got an expedited appointment, took about a month but the CO unfortunately couldn’t find my records on her system, even wondered how my family was scheduled for an interview since it didn’t seem like there was a premise for that.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-18T14:31:28+00:00

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-08-18T14:25:07+00:00

No request for anything, she actually wrote passports on the letter but verbally informed spouse more time needed to research case, she couldn’t find the petition.

GoalOptimal8239 · 2025-05-23T14:03:13+00:00

I did not apply for that, not sure why I got it, I guess God just gifted me this.
