Wait a day, try again. Sometimes (eek) the queue gets full, and the email server gets misconfigured, and starts bouncing emails . Relax, wait a day, try again.

I'm not sure. I would call an operator up asap on Monday and explain to them what happened and see what they say. Make sure you call up at least 3 operators as their answers may differ.

I thought the purpose of the March NVC thread was for those of us who went to NVC in March. Did I miss something unsure.gif

Brilliant to hear!

My case was completed on the 30th March, maybe my interview will be in May sometime. I am concerned that if I ring up the NVC, I could learn that the English interviews could be fully booked for April too. Something I do not want to learn lol!

Congratulations to you as well!!! The journey is almost over. Unfortunately, April dates are probably booked for all embassies. So, we are definitely looking at May interview. Hopefully it's early May instead of late May. Good luck to you!
