Pooyan that is so nice, I am so happy to see you back on the board, when I saw you I told my husband he’s back. I always look on the visa bulletin but never comment, because you guys left, but once more I am happy you came back on, I am also happy for you and wife, and I pray God every thing will be ok.
well pooyan my case is complete too at the visa centre i’m just waiting for visa bulletin to move up to our priority date they say they will notify me in the next eight weeks from the date my case was complete so i have to wait its almost three weeks now so hope by then the visa bulletin advance
@ celo
im from Phil also, already here in Las Vegas. we received our ds3032 last june 2009, recvd appointment letter sept 26, Nov 10 was our interview date. We arrived here Dec 25,2009. my eldest child will turn 21 this feb 20l0. 6 mos. to process.. Good luck.
wow. ganun kabilis, 6months lng naprocess? sana ganyan din sa amin ng family ko, 6mos to wait. can u tell me what are the things that SHOULD i do para ma expedite ang case ko? nagcurrent ba ang PD mo before or after u received the interview? whats ur PD btw? thanksss
what happen to me was that the filing my dad did for me came through, but when i went for the interview they asked me if i was married and i told them yes, i was then told i would be placed in category f3. So how long does something like this take and why would i have to go through this long process when they have all my file already.
@myles
That means you are F3 category with PD August 2002. Based on March 2010 bulletin, in your category they are currently working on PD 22 May 2001, so you may hav another 1- 2 yrs wait (just a guesstimate).
What happened wit you is that your dad filed while you were unmarried,then you were F1 categort, but when you got married, your category automatically changed to F3. It’s just their system, So you will now just have to wait. Information is the key, becaz I am sure if you had certain information, you may have made different choices. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. You have an upside, however, because now, when you do get through, your entire family will be able to go along, you just have to start submittingtheir papers right away. @ years is not so long…:)
@myles
Call the national visa centre (1-603-334-0700), they will tell you exactly what to do. In order to check your case you will need to know your case number, the petioner’s (your dad) name and date of birth, and of course, your name and date of birth. Explain what happened with you, and let them know that you want to submit your family’s papers. They will tell you what to do. Good luck.
@mt2644
Hi there man. Thank you very much. Listen, two things must happen before you can get to the interview. One of them is for a case to become CURRENT and the second is that the document processing must COMPLETE. It is usually the case that a case becomes COMPLETE when you submit all your documents to NVC. After you send documents to NVC, it will take them 2 weeks to process your documents and check to see if there is anything missing or not. When your case becomes COMPLETE, then you have to wait for your PD to become CURRENT. If you call NVC, they will inform your of your document processing status. Anyways, I hope your PD becomes CURRENT the sooner. Good luck.
@sarah
Hi. Yes I have to go to Turkey once more to get the green card packages and let our passports stamped by visa. But only one of the applicants would be enough. One person can represent all others. FBI check usually goes to men older than 16 years of age and of course from specific countries. Specially if the person had served the military service or has had a governmental position in that country. My wife did not go through the FBI check, because she never worked in Iran and besides it is about 4 years we are not living in our own country. Therefore it is different from case to case. Good luck.
@denise
Hi there. I have to thank you very much. I really hope from the depth of my heart that you and your dear husband get to the US as soon as possible and the wait becomes over. I understand it is too frustrating to wait this long, but that’s the way we are in right now. Therefore have patience and perseverance. Take care and have fun.
Pooyan
Hi pooyan, nice to hear from you, I also pray for you and family to get to the USA, we submit a papers, did police clearence, we just have to wait. It’s a long wait, it is 9 years, you are right lots of patience, God’s Blessing
Dear @ Pooyan
u said 2 mt2644 {After you send documents to NVC, it will take them 2 weeks to process your documents and check to see if there is anything missing or not}.
But My paper received to NVC on 7Jan & Now 6 weeks competed but there is no answer from NVC i call twince a time to NVC they said u wait 4 next week.now 6 weeks is going on……No Answer from NVC & MY PD is become current In Sept 09.
Whats ur opinion? is this Name Check ? OR AP?
@myles
Your child has no issue then. Do you intend to go live in the US without your wife?. She doesn’t have to go. The only issue will be the separation. And should she opt for residency status in the US, there are ways to keep that status without being there full time, she will just have to juggle living in 2 countries, I know ppl who do it and it works for them. If I were you, I would add them to the petition now, and as time goes on you can decide, because if you dont add them now, and then your wife changes her mind, it will be even longer for her. Besidides, you have another year or 2 do decide, she may change her mind by then.
@Pooyan
Hi,
In no time your AP will be over and done with. My interview, when or if the time comes, will be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
BTW, did you have to provide more docs at the time of the interview? I am asking this because there are more docs named on UAE’s US counsel for immigrants to be presented at the time of the eventual interview.
Hope all goes well for all.
@khan4great
It takes 2 weeks for them to see if there is anything missing or not. If there is anything missing, they will let you know, if not they will send documents to the embassy and ask for an interview time. It depends on the traffic of the embassy from now on. It is not related to the NVC anymore.
@mt2644
Thank you very much. Yes, you have to check the embassy’s website, because each embassy has its own regulations. You have to provide all the documents mentioned in the embassy of the country to which you are going to. In my case, it was ANKARA and there were some document like CARTE MELLI which was needed, but never mentioned by NVC, but it was mentioned in the embassy’s website. Good luck.
hey guys, my PD is 22nd April 2008. My i-40 is approved. Dates are right now on 15 dec 02. any hopes that Dates will jump or will be current? @Pooyan @ sweets

@myles
Unfortunately, there’s no way to predict bulletin movements. You just have to wait and pray that you get a good movement here and there. Just take the time to sort yourself and your wife out. God’s speed.
@juicy
Unfortunately, I dont know anyone at this time; and I live in Jamaica, so it would be hard for me to help you get someone. Sorry. Send me ur email address.

@myles
What is your preference category?
@juicy
Anyone residing legally in the USA, in additions to your petioner can send an AOS.
@myles
I am Jamaican, F1 category, with PD 08 March 2004. My date is now current, and I am awaiting IV fee payment and AOS to be sent in.
Jamaica is included in the “All chargeability areas…” section of the visa bulletin.
