Due to the limited capacity of space in Kingston, we were unable to schedule you for October. Furthermore, we just finished with scheduling for October and all October dates are now fully booked.

It's cool. I am hoping for November then.

All the best October folks.

I was told the same thing too today so now I wait for October for a November date or December date. All i can do is wait well Atleast I get to go spend 10 days with my hubby in October for our 7 months anniversaury. God bless all the October interview dates. I will post the timeline this weekend.

Sep 15: MEDICAL exam completed in Stockholm. All paperwork is done.

I called NVC to see if there are open spots earlier than Oct 31. Stockholm is NOT a high-volume embassy (around 250 per year).

me: “Beneficiary completed his medical today and is ready for his interview. Can we try to get an earlier date than October 31?”

phone rep: “To ask for an earlier interview date, wait until the case is received at the embassy. Then contact the embassy.”

me: “When will that be?”

phone rep: “It has not been mailed yet, and we have no time frames for that.”

me: “How will I know when the case is mailed to the embassy?”

phone rep: “Keep calling.”

I know how you feel. We also got a date that seemed strangely late for a low volume embassy.

Our interview will be on Oct 19.

Good luck to those still waiting as well as to those who have received their interview dates!

My interview is 2 days after Caly on Oct 21

To all those with October interviews and all other interviews - best of luck to all of us :dance:

Am I the only one with an interview date (found out Sept 13) who has been told the packet is not yet sent to embassy?

I am beginning to wonder if the phone reps even have a clue about that... I don't want a repeat of the "sit in the mailroom for 3 weeks" routine. I can also still sign into the payment portal - no SIF. I see DHL packet the day after they told me the interview date, but phone reps insist the packet is not mailed. Yes, we are grateful for Oct date, but...we're trying to ask embassy for an earlier date (low volume embassy) and they need it in-hand.

Anyone ever actually call the emabssy to see if the packet arrived?

Is email better?

Hi A&M: I called the NVC just for you (since we got the appointment same day as you, I hadn't bothered). They tell me the date of the appointment and that the package is forwarded. What do they say for you?

I guess if you have the appointment letter and a copy of all the documents, it shouldn't matter?

I hear your frustration though.

Hi A&M, we got our appointment letter on Sept 13 as well. My interview date is Oct 19. Packet has not yet been forwarded to the embassy.

NVC says it is not mailed, and "it could take another week to mail it." Nice phone rep tonight. He talked with Supervisor who said a specific Supervisor needs to be notified, and that she might get something moving along... we'll see. They also told me to send an email. I made sure to put "DO NO RE-OPEN CASE! in the subject line oh that would be just heartbreaking... don't even think it.

[Fire Foxy 2]

Good luck! I really hope it works out. I wish we could try the same but the date we got worked out pretty well because I will be there during that time so I can participate in the interview too. Plus, my husband has to be there until at least a week after the interview, so...

I hope we all get the visas!!!

They didn't actually send our packet to our embassy until Sept 8th and we found out about our interview on August 25th so I'm surprised it hasn't got there yet.

[Dave and Kinnari 31]

We got the interview letter on 9/2 with an appointment on 11/10 and the AVR has not changed to "we have forwarded your case to Mumbai consulate".

thanks for the data points... the embassy told Å they are booked solid (hehaha) but they will contact him if they have cancelations between now and Oct 31. Well... that's impossible without the NVC forwarding the packet. Oooooo it's USCIS all over again. I think I haven't slept at all the past 2 nights. The pevious 200 nghts weren't so great either. A-n-x-i-e-t-y.

oh gosh I hope you get a date soon. So many aspects of this process seem so unfair. hmmpf!
