This is the number they list for visa information: 202-663-1225

I am gonna try it tomorrow when they are open (Eastern time) they were already closed when I tried now...It's certainly worth at least calling to ask! I sent an e-mail to the embassy, but the automatic reply says it could take 3 or more business days to get a reply...

I already have a ticket for Aug 24th (I bought it before we got our NOA2) and it would be SO great (and lucky) if I could be there at the same time...mostly we'd just like to know WHEN the interview will be :)

Will you let me know if you have any success with visa info number. If i dont see an update this monday I think i will call. Thanks and good luck!

So I just called the Department of State, and found out that the embassy already sent the packet 3 to Seryozha, even though he hasn't received it. I also found out that our interview is on August 23rd! So for anyone who has left NVC about 1 week or more ago, they could probably start trying, for us it has been out of NVC for 2 weeks this coming Monday. Wow, just 2 months to prepare!!!!

I was talking to a live person (I am not sure there is an automated system for visa info?), and I waited about 5 minutes, but I called 8:30 eastern time, right when they open. But when you call, you have to listen to a whole thing about passports for US citizens, then press, 1 for the main menu, THEN listen to the WHOLE menu before you can press 0 to talk to a person. If we left NVC the same day we probably were in the same package, so it might be that we even have the interview the same day :) Let me know when you hear...Thanks for the congratulations. This is the number that you should call: 202-663-1225

Exactly the same for me 2+ years ago - about 5 minutes, live person, and they told me the interview date before the case had left the NVC. I called about the same time - ~9 AM EDT.

Thanks Slim, We are really excited/nervous, and I decided that since I already had a ticket for the 24th, I am gonna change it to the 22nd instead, so that I can be there for the interview (even though I know I will have to wait outside), you know, for support :)

..... I'll be the bored looking guy standing outside.

Do you guys notice other Americans when you're overseas? When I was walking on Red Square one day, I saw three young men walking together and they looked somewhat out of place. I thought to myself "these guys have to be American." Sure enough, when they got a little closer, I could hear in English "I (expletive deleted) love the Hungry Duck. There are so (expletive deleted) many (expletive deleted) there that like to (expletive deleted) and (expletive deleted). I can't (expletive deleted) wait to get to that (expletive deleted) club tonight so we can (expletive deleted) some more dirty (expletive deleted)."

They were in the military too, as evidenced by their "fashionable" hair cuts and choice of sophisticated language.

Sad fact is, we stick out like a sore thumb just about anywhere we go.

Of course! Well, I do. Americans (well, foreigners) in Russia and Russian immigrants in the States. I can always say.

This is my 3rd trip to Vladimir and I havent seen any Americans. Most people in Vladimir tell me I'm the first American they've ever seen. Sometimes I feel like I'm a new animal at the zoo that no ones ever seen before. I think I stick out like a sore thumb, my clothes match and they are not skin tight and i dont wear black socks with my tennis shoes. :lol:

Let me know if you are actually gonna have your interview on the 23rd...That would be really funny to meet outside. Hopefully we will have nice weather. I don't stick out in Russia, because my family is Russian, and I don't speak English outside, but I can say that even in Poland I can spot other Americans from miles away. The funniest though are the Germans, that ALWAYS walk in large groups, with their hands behind their backs :) and the British people are always speaking VERY loudly :) I hope that doesn't offend anyone, just some observations...

I was going to say something about Germans sticking out too, but didn't want to offend anyone. There are a good number of Germans and Italians here.

Americans - actually I know of 2 other than me. They are 6 months and 3 years old, so I don't believe that they stick out.
