Hi,

I was just wondering if it is necessary or otherwise a good/bad idea to send an email to the Consulate (ISL-PAK) to kind of confirm the interview date/time? This is ofcourse after the NVC has send me Appointment letter by email.

Thanks & Best Regards.

It is not necessary. It may not do any bad as well.

Thanks Loto. A little differnt topic. I have submitted everything to NVC & their letter suggest that everything is received. I was planning to have my family take only papers related to Bona Fide Marriage proof at the consulate. Reading some posts today, it seems like people take photocopies of things submitted to NVC & almost everything else related. I was surprised to note that but looks like that's what people recommend just incase papers did not get to consulate etc.

Thanks & Best Regards.

Bring entire pictures, wedding album, chat, phone, email history, kid's birth certificate and all other details to the Consulate. You never know what CO is asking. Literally take the entire file to the interview.

Actually I had to ride the Embassy's back to give me a date. They kept repeating that I am not in the system, and today I called and an Angel answered the phone and gave me the date made of gold. I dont know if it was because of my bugging them, or just good timing; But I wouldn't change what I did. That and much praying.
