People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~

Poll: How many people are waiting for an interview in London,

and when did they "recieve" your packet 3 response?

Chaz and Riggs........ P3 delivered 11/12 - DOS says eligible for interview 11/20

Jewel-8.................. P3 delivered 11/12 .. DOS says eligible for interview 11/19

Lioncub4................. P3 delivered 11/09 - DOS says eligible for interview 11/23

pdcvcm.................. P3 delivered 11/16 - DOS says eligible for interview 11/25

frostymist............... P3 delivered 11/19

...so how does that work? Once the P3 is delivered, we call DoS and they say a date that we are "eligible" for an interview...

then what is the next step? do we just keep calling until they give us an actual interview date?

are we able at any time to request a certain date (or certain day of the week, like a Friday for example)??

Yes, so many of us are just waiting for interview date now. I'm tempted to call the extortion line to find out when they will be scheduling interviews.

London got our P3 on 11/25.. due to holiday etc I haven't spoken to anyone at DOS yet... calling tomorrow

Will be interesting to see if they allocate interviews on Dec 16th, making it a 3 month long trend.

I hope you don't have to wait another 16 days to hear, but it's fast looking like January interview dates for those waiting for them

I wonder if they interview up to the first couple weeks in December and allow a couple weeks to finalise those visas in light of the forthcoming holidays?

The embassy recieved our package 3 today .

[Jewel-8 21]

Just got off the phone with DOS. They had a 15 minute wait when I called. They told me no interview date, but that the medical results were received today. The medical was on Tuesday, FYI. Hopefully this week! But I doubt it.

we call DoS and they say we are eligible for an interview (usually the day they log the packet, as long as you had all the right forms in there) then we can either

1) Keep calling DoS until they tell us that an interview has been scheduled for such and such date, or

2) Wait until packet 4 arrives in the mail (in the UK) telling the beneficiary when their appointment date is.

The only thought I had about requesting certain dates and times are after our interview is already booked, and calling the extortion line to get it changed. As far as I know, you can't choose an interview date before one is assigned. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Jewel, if you do call, make sure to tell us!!!

[Justine+David 218]

I'm so impatient, lol! My fiance can only send the P3 off at work during his lunch hour but went to the wrong place today and then didn't have time to go back to the right place to mail it off. Tomorrow, he promises me! Looks like we won't hear about an interview date until January 1st, though, if they only assign at the beginning of the month...this is a good trend to keep a look at!

Thank you! I bet yours will be on there soon!! Is he sending it overnight? I went through the early October part of the interview thread. People were finding out interview dates on 9/29, 10/2, 10/7 and 10/8. Then the last was 10/13 until the 11/13 scheduling. So there is hope for us that this next week might bring some good news!!! I'm really hoping. I NEED TO KNOW!! This being in limbo stuff is messing with my mind.

Hey all, Troy here.

Claire and I are beginning to feel a little anxious over the wait as well. DHL shows our P3 forms were signed for on 11-9. I phoned the DOS on the 20th to check on things to find out that everything is there and was told, "the forms have been accepted and approved but there is no interview date yet". I'm not exactly sure when they approved it but it was nice to find that out. Checked again today and got the same reply.

I'm hoping by the end of next week we see things moving along.

Welcome to the club Troy and Claire.

I sent packet 3 back on November 26 by special delivery so it would have arrived the next day. Tracked it and it said it had. Do I call DOS to see if it's been logged or do they email me?

They don't e-mail you, you'd have to call them up.

Jewel, I'm just excited to be able to call DOS every day until I find out about the interview, lol, one of the new highlights of my day! I checked USCIS every day for NOA2 (actually found out through a txt message), called NVC when they got it, and then DOS until the UK logged our petition in.

To make the addiction thing worse...I'm leaving for London next week to visit him and then a short little jaunt to Florence where my sister is studying abroad and I'll be gone for about a week. I was skyping him and saying, "But how will I be able to call DOS when I'm over in Europe??!" and he laughed at me and called me a nerd

We're asking for a February/March interview, so it'll be awhile yet in any case, but every step along the way of the petition can be tripped up from all the awful cases I've read here, so while I'm thinking realistically that 99% duh getting the visa won't be difficult at all, the 1% lets me call DOS every day

Belated Thanksgiving thought...I am thankful for all of you.
