Called three times today, made it through 20 minutes on hold and then it cut out- SO frustrating!! Finally got through to a real person and got told the interview is scheduled for June 25th. Woohoo!!

Relieved that we are almost done with all this mess, but also wishing the date was sooner so we can go home! We want to leave in early early July but tickets will be super expensive if we wait until after the interview to get them! Hubby wants to take the risk but I'm too nervous. Decisions, decisions!

Okay this is what you do. Now you will follow your casefile to embassy. Once it gets there than you request an earlier date. You may get it and it doesn't hurt to ask. But your file has to get there first. So Monday call NVC and ask has your file left yet and call until they give you date than you can track via DHL all the way.

Usually most these cases will be at embassy within the next 2 weeks. I would get medical done soon as possible so if they change there's no delay.

Congratulations to sammyhouse, aizeny987, maddy007, sashy, maxnara, son1020 and all others who got June interview scheduled. Best wishes for a very successful interview.

I have asked her to carry a copy of the AOS package (updated with the 2013 Tax Return, and W2), and the IV package with her, in case the consulate did not find any specific document (or misplaced it). Also of course the originals - birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, DS-260 confirmation page, the IL (we are still waiting for that), pics, medical report.

Thanks elsy & mark. I hope to get an early June date, too. All of you at the Mumbai embassy please post your interview review. That helps us coming behind you.

Thank you and congrats to you too and to all who got their scheduled interviews! :)

Thanks for the tip! Does it work to check when the file is in transit on the CEAC or is calling necessary? With how far out the interview date is, I'm assuming they will take a few weeks to send our file so I don't want to call every day for 3 weeks if I can more easily look at the website :)

As soon as the interview letter comes, we'll get on the medical right away.

Congrats to everyone else who got interview dates!

Thanks Collie,

I had read your post about your parents saga of a journey to their medicals. Hopefully they will not encounter the same troubles when they go back for their interviews. The strike is over now but all be warned if you have your interview in London next week as there is another three day walk-out next week starting at 9 pm on 5 th. So anyone down here then should be prepared for delays.

On another transport related issue that is affecting Bond Street Tube Station only - see below:

  • From 23 April to late June: Central line trains will not stop at the station while while a lift shaft is constructed
  • From July to early December: Jubilee line trains will not stop at the station while extensive work to improve access to the Jubilee line platforms is carried out
  • The station will then operate on an exit and interchange only basis until the end of 2014 to enable future tunnelling works

As this is the nearest tube to the Embassy it could hinder quite a few when attending their interviews!

Best wishes to you and yours - I'll post ASAP after I've had my interview.

CB & RB

I have my interview next week Wednesday. I was originally planning on trying to get to the US Embassy by 7:30am to start lining up but the trains don't start until 7:00am and they're not stopping at bond street due to strike (jubilee line) so am planning on taking a taxi.

Good luck for your interview tomorrow, I will eagerly be awaiting your update on your experience at the embassy so I can know what to expect (just like the medical- thank you for sharing that experience with us, really helpful)

Dimple

P.s: I have just noticed you are also going to be in Chicago like myself (hopefully) ☺️
