I got Waldo, nice guy but not what I wanted to hear!

He said that it takes couple of weeks for it to be sent and then he asked why I was asking.

I told him that I wanted to ask the consulat for an earlier date once they get the file and he said that it could not be any earlier since NVC schedules the earliest they can.

I guess 09-Jul it is. Still not bad!!!!

Tears. I so miss calling them and hearing that on hold mantra. LOL

Do you know how long it took for your file to be shipped to the embassy?

My wife needs a new passport before her July 21 interview, and the Russian government says she'll have it within 30 days, so we should be okay. But they said they will now translate her name as Nadezhda in the new passport, while her old passport shows Nadezda. Since I used the old passport throughout this process, does anyone know if there will be a problem when she shows up at the interview with a new passport showing a different spelling of her name? She'll bring the old passport as well to show what happened.

Someone should invent a "Visajourney" or "Immigration to US" game. All the tidbits and stuff we get. Make it a game. One wrong move and Visa prison you go. Ir may be 30-6-90 days. OMG I am brainstorming now (do they pay us at work to do this. LOL)

Visa Jeopardy!!

That was January of 2013. LOL. Not me it was DACA. I swear.

Ahhh... you should be careful what you say in these dangerous times. Quiet a few of us are on a holding pattern awaiting IV invoices and we're roaming the streets in force spoiling for trouble.

My petition left 11 days after interview assigned (I had requested my marriage certificate be pulled out and sent to me). Once shipped took 4 days and signed by Ben Obi.

I think people wait for it to get to the embassy and ask for an earlier date there. The reason could be because some people reschedule so the embassy will be able to tell if another date opens open. That's what I think I might of read. July 9th is good but it doesn't hurt to call the embassy once it arrives

9 working days from IL email for us. DHL showed delivered after 3-4 working days. Embassy claims they only had our case files about 13 working days after DHL delivery. Kinda like the NVC where they received it but it sits in a warehouse waiting to get processed.

I made a mistake of scheduling an interview ~2 weeks after DHL delivery date. Just a word of caution to people who want to reschedule to an earlier date.

I work for the government and our hold is the same exact thing. LOL

Thank you very much

Okayyyyy... I'm officially here!!! Waiting for an interview date to be assigned!

Question: Should my husband schedule his medical already or wait for the interview date/letter? He lives in Portugal, not Paris where the interview will be, so I can't find on the NVC site where he can go for a medical in Portugal because it states that the US Consulate doesn't schedule interviews there (which I knew).

You know that would be one of the most boring game evers considering 99% of the time spent from start to end is waiting. the other 0.5% is on hold at NVC and 0.5% is actually doing stuff.

lol
