Thanks! And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. But I will be gone for 3 days when I move next week. Hopefully everyone can manage without me for 3 days :P Although I might check my email when I stop at a hotel laughing.gif I just can't stay away from VJ!

Sandip,

I believe they expedited due to USCIS error cause they were one of the 36,000 that got transferred to TSC. Were you as well?

Thank for the prompt reply. Yes, I was one of the 36,000.

My wife's file has been completed at NVC and interview has been scheduled on 06/28/2011 at Bombay office. My wife's file was completed on 04/07/2011 but the interview date is after more than two months.

Does anyone know how to expedite at the local consulate?

Thanks,

It's probably too late to expedite now since you finished with NVC and have a date. You can try contacting the embassy and asking for an earlier date, but I'm not sure that's possible at this point since you've completed everything.

There is someone who got his interview rescheduled by calling the Embassy, and if I'm not wrong it was Mumbay.

You should give it a try.
