[Amor1 0]

Great news today--case complete @ NVC ! I called and got the news. Then I asked about an interview app & medical and was told by the rep, "Everything here is computerized--2nd week of month for scheduling for next month." I guess she could hear my despondency b/c she added, "There's another way to get an earlier appointment; call the embassy directly & have them request your file. Also, let them know the status (complete), and they'll give you an earlier date if they have one; expedite is not necessary." The rep gave me the direct number to the embassy and the visa office here, too, in the US (202) 663-1225.

I won't know until tomorrow if this will work b/c it's late, but it's worth a try. I'll give you guys the update tomorrow. Hoping all is well---Amor1

***PS They're so much faster & even friendlier @ the NVC.

Dude, that is awesome news. I have been trying to figure out a way to get an earlier interview date. I even email the consulate (my case is not approved yet, should be soon though) yesterday if there is anyway to get an earlier interview date, haven't gotten a reply, but awesome. Thanks for sharing. Definitely give an update.
