My wife interview is scheduled on September 1st. And she is 38 weeks pregnant.
On August 31th at 1.00 PM she started feeling some unusual pain. We started praying, asking God not to allow her giving birth before our interview. We know that if the baby is born after the interview she ll be processed at the port of entry only by showing to the border agent her birth certificate, but if the baby is born after the interview, thing may get worse: we ll have to do the baby`s medicals (215 dollars) + visa fees (819 dollars) + establishing the official birth certificate which takes at least 4 weeks in Montreal (express procedure is not available in Quebec) + applying for her Canadian passport. The 2011 DV program ends up on sept 30 2011. We are running out of time, and then it won’t be possible to fulfill those requirements within 4 weeks. Consequently we ll loose our immigration visa for good (bad luck).
The pain reached its climax at 4 .00 PM and my wife cannot bear it anymore, her water broke and we end-up at the hospital around 5.00 PM where she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl at 10.00 PM. Can you believe that!
Soon after the birth we inform the doctor that we have a serious issue with our DV interview that will be held in few hours the next day at 8.00 AM, we explain the entire event and how it was important for us to get that visa. The doctor tried to persuade us not to attend the interview because my wife is too tired and her vaginal wounds have to be healed first. Finally after a 20 min meeting the doctors considered the whole situation including its impact in our future so they decide to give to my wife a certificate of temporary absence form the hospital for the next day valid from 6.00 AM to 10 .00 AM but without the baby (has to stay in the hospital). We thanked God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran home picked-up the documents, my wife clothes and mine, and head back to the hospital around 1.00 AM. The night was really too short, lot of things going inside my head…………………………………..

We arrived at the consulate around 6:40AM. We were the first in line with a few others arriving after 7AM. The doors opened at 7:30AM promptly and we were the first to enter. After going through security, we waited downstairs and sat in the chairs next to the elevator. We were sent up in the elevator to the 19th floor around 8AM. As we were the first off the elevator, received C1 and was told to have a seat. We were called up to the first window within a few minutes of being seated

We were called at the first window 30 min later, the lady proceed and took our fingerprints and medical results (not the x-ray or vaccination documentation) and passport. The agent found that my wife wore the hospital bracelet and then ask:
The Agent: why are you wearing the hospital bracelet?
My wife: I am just coming from the hospital because I gave birth few hours ago. I ask for a temporary absence from hospital but the doctors at first were skeptical but they finally understood my worries and decided to let me attend the interview without the baby
The Agent: are you serious? she called the CO to hear my wife story………………………..the CO was impressed by my wife courage and determination to get the visa. Because my wife was in pain. The agent asked for all our documents and the CO decided to interview my wife immediately after the documents checking.
The interview
CO: I can`t believes you came here few hours after giving birth!
My wife: answer……….
CO: baby gender?
My wife: baby girl and I gave her name
CO:…………….still amazed by my wife courage……………………..
My wife:……………………still in pain…………………………….
CO: pleased my wife to have a seat
My wife: thanks
CO: asked my wife to raise her right hand and swear to tell the truth ------------------then took fingerprint-----------
My wife: did
CO: recheck my wife diplomas and school transcript. Were you on F1 status in the pass?
My wife:ans………….
CO: where do you live ?
My wife:ans……………
CO: what are you doing for living?
My wife:ans----------
CO:do you have relative in US?
My wife:ans---------------
CO: what are you going to do in US?
My wife:ans--------------------------
CO: started typing………………….afterward she asked me to raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth ………….
Me: did----------------
CO: confirmed my profession
Me: correct
CO: in which us state are you going to live?

Me:ans------------------------
CO: what are you going to do in US?
Me:ans-------------------------
CO: ok --------and started typing--------------then asked both of us to sign the DS230 form, she added that the newborn will be processed at the port of entry. She pulled out the letter "Welcome to the United States” and said we were approved and wished us good luck.

It was a fabulous day!

Thanks
 
@ dadadada72 and others

Do you have to do a medical test for the baby as well. I gave birth before the interview but i've been asked to come back with pictures of me, my baby and my wife. Nothing was said about medical. Any insight on this?

All depends to the CO. In our case the CO cited that according to the immigration Laws because the baby was born before the parent got the visa , the baby has to follow all the steps as we did (medicals, visa fees, birth certificate, passport,reschedule a new appointment.....) all these before September 30th and the parents visa will be on hold until the baby requiements are done. Logically it ll be impossible meet those within 4 weeks. The CO was so kind ,felt pity for my wife condition and decided to waive the baby requiements, she proceeded as the baby was born after the parents visa issuancy . She also said that she informed the nearest US port of entry from Montreal (CHAMPLAIN)and we have to cross only through that port of entry because the border agents have been informed about our case and the baby has been pre-registered at that port. We were so happy to hear that unexpected good news....................
 
I had my 2nd interview yesterday with my wife. They took us straight upstairs for 2.5hours interrogation. They tried to label our as fake marriage but our marriage is valid and true. Other than a couple of instances, our reponses corresponded 97% of the time. The guys are Nigerians and they're very unfriendly by all measures. They even threatened us.

I wonder if they want to us to lie that we are not family when indeed we are. They even interrogated us about our infant. Well, at the end of the interview, they gave us back our passports and said nothing about approval or denial.

To be honest, i don't know what to make of this. I really need your input. Input please?????
 
we received a call this afternoon from us embassy informing us our visa stamped and sending via fedex and we have to enter USA before Nov.17.2011

Ap/ar or whatever it is

Hello everybody welcome me in the club plz, I had my interview on sep,1st and after the interview I was given a white sheet without any checked option but it reads that I should wait until I hear from them and I will be notified if any additional document is required, and during the interview the officer asked me if I'm aware that sep,30th is the end of the fiscal year my answer was yes so he told me that he will put that date in mind and will do his best to get everything together before that date and that there somethings that he can move quicker and things that he cant. It was really very disappointing cuz why would you put an end for the fiscal year if you have something called AP and you are not sure how long would that AP take?!!!! so I called the embassy a week after my interview and their answer was the case is still pending, so a couple of days ago I wrote them a very emotional letter stating everything that came up to my mind that moment their reply was like: as you are aware your case is under administrative review and we know that such delays are disappointing for the concerned individuals but the consular officer has to be reasonably satisfied that the applicant is eligible for a visa in all aspects be assured that we will notify you once the review is finished. so a few minutes ago I called the department of state and they told me the same thing: YOUR CASE IS STILL PENDING AND UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW "they are very nice and polite thou" but I am really very tired of this I even cant sleep at night, this DV lottery is something I worked very hard emotionally and financially for I even had to do some travels to get some of the required documents And there is no reason for them to deny my case I even had all my documents authenticated from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of either my origin country or the country I'm residing in or is it because my country is one of the state sponsors of terrorism well if that's it you should list my country as an ineligible state*For the program SIGH!... I hope this long journey of mine will come to a happy end soon :'(
