Got Interview Date For May!!!!

[HSB 0]

Starting this thread for people who got interview dates for May. Let's wait together during this hopefully last stage before all this nonsense is over and we can be with out jans!!!

Want to thank all of you for your advice through this, VJ made this whole process so easy and minimized my ulcers and grey hairs. Just got my wife's interview letter today by email for May 18, so happy & excited

NVC made me wait a very long weekend 2 weeks ago before they completed my case on a Monday. So I thought was facing another long weekend, this time 3 days, before they gave me a date next week. But thankfully, got the letter tonight at 8:20 pm. I was very shocked since most people I spoke to received the letter in mornings. I rushed back from work and I checked my email at 6pm in the evening today, but was very disappointed and stressed when I did not see any letter from NVC. Thought about calling NVC, but then thought again, as I didn't want to hear the same BS from them about waiting 8 weeks. Thought I was doomed to wait the weekend, as didn't think the NVC was still working after 6pm and Friday is a holiday. I know NVC is working on Friday, but they would probably be pissed they had to work on a holiday and would probably slack off . I decided to sleep off the disappointment and depression, so took a 3 hour nap. And once I woke up, the letter was there and the Rangers are going to the playoffs!! Best Thursday ever. I am still so surprised, did not expect the NVC to work so late. God bless them, unlike those lazy idiots at USCIS.

Now have my fingers crossed that the Embassy don't push my date back, as some people from my Embassy got date pushed back a week for April. So can't really book tix to join my wife until 2 weeks before interview date, when I can be sure they won't push back, . But that's a worry for later, nothing's gona spoil this weekend now!

I did have a question, NVC sent the appointment letter and the checklist of what original and photocopy documents the NVC received for the interview. But did not get any medical instructions, which I thought would come with the letter. Should I just follow the instructions at the Embassy website for the medical?

Good News!!! And congratulations for coming interview. Are you falling under category of CR1 or IR1? Just curious to know.

Hey, thanks for the links, already went through this and the ***removed*** one is pretty helpful, think I'll ask my wife to go to that one, Dr. Wahab. We got married on December 27, 2007, and I plan on bringing her here in early June 2009, so I guess it is CR1. That's what the NVC have listed in all their correspondence.

I was a little confused about medical since many said NVC sends instructions for medical with interview letter, but I only received interview letter with documents checklist of what NVC received. No instructions medical. So I'll just use the instructions on the Dhaka embassy website and the DOS website. Though this is confusing as well as Dhaka Embassy lists 2 approved doctors while DOS website lists 3. Why can't they get their stuff together?

My advice, just do not wait for medical instructions from Dhaka embassy as it will take some time to arrive. Make medical appointment with designated doctor and take NVC interview letter printout along with require documents, i.e., passport, photographs, etc.

My wife medical done but she is still waiting medical instruction from US consulate, Mumbai.

No, I'm not expecting embassy to send us anything, everything is already on the embassy website. I was confused because no instructions came with my interview letter from NVC, which I thought was standard, just instructions to bring medical to interview. Anyway, I am planning for my wife to get her medical done sometime next week. Thanks.
