give them a week or two before you call the USEM and schedule your interview
Agree, they need to put in the USEM System first before you can call for an interview appointment.

No need to wait for the letter, but it does take a few or several days after arrival at USEM for your case to show up as eligible for interview in the Visa Information Services' system. The $18 PIN should be good for 2, 3, or several calls according to various posts. Hopefully you'll be able to schedule in just a few more days. Good luck!
The DOS will know (at least in my case) when you are eligible for scheduling.. just keep calling the DOS until they tell you that the letter has been sent and you are eligible... and (also in my case) the DOS knew before the call center at the embassy did!... and as far as the pin number I used mine many times (apx 20) and no problem...
it took 12-13 days from the time NVC sent the case until we were eligible to schedule!

Cool. Just go for it and call... I tracked DSL too then called DOS and they said it was in the system the next day but was then unable to schedule because hardcopy had not been processed yet. May have waited to long to call again - longest 4 days ever? Best of luck to everyone with interviews coming up.
THANKS for the replys , i believe im going to call this sunday, monday over there and see what they tell me. GOOD LUCK to all , and may we all bring home the PINK!!
