Hi Everybody

Yesterday we called the NVC and they informed us that our case is complete and that they already sent it to the embassy, however we havent got any email (SF and CC) is this normal?? Also they told my husband that they havent schedule the interview and that for July there is no availability.

I am kind of nervous about i, because we havent got any email from NVC and I would like to know if this is normal?

Thanks for your response :)

Don't worry. You don't get a case complete email. Your next, and last, email will be of your interview date.

Only those doing EP get case complete emails.

Thank you so much Saylin :)

They infofmed my husband that the documents were already send to the embassy :) In order to get an interview date do you recomend call DOS and the NVC or is better wait until we got the email?? Saylin, how do they let you know when to go to the DR?

Again, thanks so much for your time :)

Well, that's weird. Usually they only send your case to the embassy/consulate once an interview date has been assigned. Are you absolutely positive it was sent? Has the AVR updated yet saying your case was shipped on so-and-so date to your embassy?

If your case has indeed been shipped, then calling NVC and asking about your interview date will be pointless as they no longer would have your case. Your only option would be DOS. Unless your embassy allows phone calls, then you can call them as well.

As for the medical, you have to make your own appointment. Most countries though require the interview letter. But I don't know any of your country's requirements, so it might be different.

Call NVC and follow the prompts to listen to your case. If nothing's changed, then it should be: 1 for English, 1 for Immigrant Visa, 2 to use your NVC case number, the 3 digits for your case number (example: 6-8-5 for MTL), 1 to confirm, then the 10 digits of your case number and the # sign, and then 1 to confirm.

The last three messages for the AVR are usually: case complete date, interview date, date case shipped to embassy

We are approved!!!

My husband had his interview today in Stockholm.

He was asked 3-4 questions on how we met, where we got married, etc, then the lady interviewing him told him that she had never ever seen a couple so well documented.....and that because they had such large files on our case, they could not mail it back to us and instead they asked my husband to pick the passport and documents tomorrow morning..very quick!

So happy that this process is over (for the next 2 years). We are planning on flying to the US together from the UK at end of September.

Grats on the approval! kicking.gifkicking.gif And your husband is very lucky to be able to pick up the passport the next day! Although, if you're only planning on moving at the end of September, I guess it's not that big of a deal for you two...

Thanks!

Umm...kinda yeah...not really lol!

I'm pretty well packed I think, but I've had to re-pack twice in an attempt to stay under the weight and baggage allowance lol. And trying to think of everything I might need is difficult...it's not a quick trip back if I forget something!

But I'm sure it will be ok.
