Hi Everyone,

After your approved petition leaves NVC headed to the Embassy, your intended immigrant [in my case my hubby] is supposed to receive a package with letter for the interview and instructions. Last time my hubby went in, and was denied his visa, we had the added complication of emailing everyone in Lagos and eventually a liaison in Washington in order to find out our interview date. Our package was lost. We were not the only ones that didn't receive their package.

Do you know if it's possible to request a dual copy for myself, or perhaps it can be picked up? I am afraid of a repeat aggravation.

Thanks so much!

You can get the "package" off the embassy website. Look under immigrant visas it is downloadable, Print it fill it in.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

The package will be emailed to you with his interview date. The "package" will be attached to the email and you will be advised to tell him to go for his medicals immediately. No more walk ins at the consulate. Good luck.

Evanscholly,

Wow, thanks - ok, our package and interview date was never sent my husband, myself or our attorney's office las time. I'm so nervous about getting it this time - it was a huge hassle last time. Thanks for the input. Now, our case is waiting at NVC to process so just awaiting news. Last time we also did not get any note from them either. It was utterly frustrating.

Thanks again.

Thanks NigeriaorBust,

I was thinking too of the package that includes the letter to take in for your appointment and interview. Last time we never received it - that's what's got me panicked. My husband didn't receive it, I didn't and the attorney didn't either. However thanks for telling me where the rest of the package is, I can download it and be prepared so not everything is done at the last minute.

Thanks!

Same ####### happened to me. I called the embassy in moscow and they told me his interview date. I emailed them this week and they said it was mailed out early March, now it's the 30th and his interview is less than 30 days away. They said it might be lost in the mail and if so to just go to the moscow embassy website. BUT no where does it say that if package is lost please do this and this. UGH i'm so pissed off and depressed. no justice in Russia! No tracking number, no info that it's okay he comes without their letter, etc. ERRRR
