I saw in the VJ wiki a while back that the AVR gets updated when your package is shipped to the consulate. The message is something to the effect "NVC has forwarded your case to the consulate" Can anyone with a interview date confirm this. Looks like the wiki page for NVC's AVR is under constuction so I cannot really confirm this.

can someone confirm this????

Scott - Great news from you aswell today! It's no long now, so happy for you!

And some news of my own..

Hubby called NVC today after being as confused as myself about the e-mail I got from the embassy.

The operator told him our case was still with them (yeah,I spent several days tracking someones elses package,haha) and won't be sent out until they are scheduling an interview.

And then told him all the info about the panel physichians would be sent to me with the interview-app. Wouldn't tell him where I could go. It's pissing me off!! I mean, the NVC probably knows,the Embassy probably knows, why can't someone/ANYONE just tell me which doctor I can go see!!!!!

For those of you that still need passport photo, here's a site where you can make your own passport photo. I used it for all my passport photos and it's working great:) No need to pay $6 at your local drug store.
