Hope you all get sif soon! But you know you "must" have that Original Police Clearance at the interview right??

I realize that, but in the netherlands it's different regulations regarding a police clearance which is what caused us confusion in the first place. They won't accept us having obtained a police certificate only the consulate in amsterdam can request it and only they can look at it as they are not available or viewable to civilians in the netherlands. Some countries it is easier to obtain.

:dance::dance: Congrats everyone!!! its all downhill from here!!!

congrats on your SIF too =) I haven't been on for awhile, was trying to keep busy while the days passed by us.

Congrats to booger, Jen & Geert and all.....our stupid lawyers messed up YET AGAIN and didnt send a form with our package to NVC, but this was Fedexed and arrived today.

I am hoping and praying that it's not too late for a Feb interview - I so want to be with my hubby for good then because my birthday is the end of Feb and his the beginning of March - what perfect presents that would be for us. Fingers crossed please!

Do they send the applicant an email with the interview date? I didnt realise that. And is it true that interviews are only scheduled in the second week of the month for the following month? If so, I'm so afraid Feb will be out of the question now, it being the 10th Jan today.....

Any insight appreciated, we just all got to hang in there.

NVC sends an email which is your packet 4 with the interview date that is if you have provided them your email addy. NVC usually schedules interview during the second week of the month but we have seen VJ members get interview date scheduled during the 3rd and 4th week.

Thank you everyone, I'm very excited about the CC, I'm hoping to know the interview date soon (please be a feb. one) so we can start making plans for me to go vacation there and attend the interview I can't wait to see my hubby again it's almost been a year already crazy! I'm more anxious than ever for sure.

@Angelheart, sorry to hear that your lawyers messed up with the paperwork again that's a shame on them, just keep fighting your way through it, as the reward will be much greater and precious for you at the end of the road.

If NVC has your email they'll give you the interview letter with instructions and the date, they don't notify you if your case is complete though I found that out when talking to an opperator, so thats why we check the payment portal for SIF and CC.
