I finally found our I-129F package and I still don't know how they had my email address. We never called NVC as we had involved our Congressman at that point and his office contacted NVC for us and sent us our STK number. Now I'm curious Oh well, guess I'll never know.

I did too. But we were discussing how some beneficiaries seems to get the email from the consulate and some doesn't.

My point was if they entered it in my file at NVC it will have gone with the file to the cinsulate. .. (don't know if I was clear)

Yes and that's why I said I did not call and therefore did not get the chance to add my email to the file but i still recieved my checklist from the embassy.

So a few things that I can think of.

You can turn up early, I got there at 07:45 and was allowed in without any problems.

You can take your mobile phone, but need to have it powered down and left at the security office.

Try to be as organized as possible with your paperwork, it goes faster if you are.

I know you're going to be very very nervous, I'm sure we all were but from my personal experience the staff were incredibly nice to me and the interview was fast and easy.

I had my interview on Thursday and the visa was delivered on the following Monday, so 4 days approximately.

Thank you for your reply . My interview is at 8.30 and I have already booked a cab to pick me up at 7.30 so I will probably be at the embassy at 7.45-8.00.

I have to bring my phone so I can contact my friend after so I get in to the apartment were I will be staying. But will follow the instruction in the email (which is the same as you wrote)

My documents are organized in 3 different folders. Originals, copies (doc are in exact same order) and evidence lol My husband says I have OCD

Yes I can feel the nerves starting to act up lol. But I have everything thats been asked for and some extra just in case they would ask for it.

That was really fast! So I might not be to far off by hoping that I get the visa package friday next week since i have the interview on tuesday.

Thanks again!

Do you have to pay the visa fee first to be able to schedule an interview or can you pay at any time as long as it's done before the interview?

If I remember correct, you need the receipt for paying the fee When you book the interview

That's correct, you can't schedule the interview before you've paid. I think it said something about having a confirmation number. I never got it so I had to email them and they "opened" the schedule for me.

[Scandi 4,166]

It makes sense that you pay first and schedule the interview afterwards. Thanks!

I would like to schedule the interview as soon as possible so wasn't sure in what order to do it. Do I wait for the checklist to do this or is there something (apart from the medical) that I can do just by having the case- and invoice number from NVC? Would very much like to speed things up after this process taking so darn long.

I have a question about the paper from the police... "belastningsregistret" I opened this by mistake because I assumed it was an envelope with information and my sealed envelope inside... but the certificate was right inside...

Will this be a problem? :/

I did too, were we supposed to not open it? Never heard of that before. Might have to request a new one if so.

It's fine to open it.

You have to wait for the checklist.. but if u then proceed to pay your few with a debit card after.... you can book your immidiately after..

It's fine to open it.

Thank you )

[Scandi 4,166]

Alright, thank you! So I'll wait for the checklist then. I assume I can't do the DS-160 before I get the checklist either?
Basically there's nothing I can do apart from getting the few little documents needed for the interview..?

Yeah I ordered 3 copies of the "belastningsregister" and they all arrived in the same envelope so I didnt really have a choice but to open it in order to separate the copies I think you are allowed to open the envelope now since its got a watermark on it which makes it hard to tamper with? Just a theory though

Well if you have your STK number you could technically book your medical now. BUT if you do it before your application has reached the embassy I am not 100% they will appreciate getting a medical they can't put into a file. It kind of depends on how long your file has been at NVC and how long the wait time is for an appointment at the clinic.

Well you can make sure you have all your vaccinations papers ready for the medical as well as getting your passport photos for the medical. I believe you will need between 6-7 depending on what clinic you go to.

You can get the police papers.

Once NVC send it out everything will be quick. Doesn't take long for it to arrive at the embassy and the embassy is really quick with sending out the checklist.
