Hello guys, thank you for this forum. I am so sad I only discovered this forum in this stage. Here is our complicated story:
My husband won the 2014 DV lottery, but his number was only current in August AF6****. We have 4 children, the oldest turned 21 on June 2014. You can imagine the stress. I am in an F1 visa and my husband and the other three children(15, 12 and 10 yr old) on F2. The oldest was on F2 until she started college; she became an F1 holder. Long story short, her scholarship was from our country, but because of a war there, her scholarship stopped for no reason, but the War. Her school visa adviser, which is at the same time my adviser(we go to the same school) suggested that we apply for an F2 visa on February. We received a letter from the USCIS on May 2014 asking for more evidence and suggesting the change of the application from F2 to B2 before her birthday on June. We sought an attorney's help and we sent all the requirements.
Last Sunday September 7th, her online status changed to approved and we received the approval notice 2 days later on 9/9/14. The approval is only from 9/3/2014 to 10/14/2014. It also has a new I-94 number at the end of the page.
We went to an info pass on July to ask if we can file on July since the VB already has announced August CN. The officer said wait until August to file. We filed on August 2nd. and it was received on the 5th. We had the finger print done on September 2nd after we received the appointment notice on August 26th.
On Monday 9/8/2014 my husband received a phone call from a USCIS officer to inform us with the appointment on this Monday 9/15/2014. She(the officer) sent the appointment on a word document attached to an email to my husband after her phone call. The document listed all of our names on one page. We reviewed all the documents and ready for the appointment, but the stress level is on the highest! We're extremely worried about our daughter's application. Any advise? Will they interview all of us together or one by one? What about the young children?
