NUMBER 5 IS CONFUSING ME. IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN. PLEASE.

Answer for 5, and rest of your questions:

Preparing for the Interview

All immigrant visa applicants must appear in person at the Consular Section for an interview. Prior to the scheduling of an interview, the NVC or the Consular Section will send Packet 3, which instructs the applicant to gather the documents that will be necessary for the interview. All applicants must submit certain personal documents such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificates, and other civil documents, and evidence that they will not become a public charge in the U.S. at the time of applying for a visa. When your case arrives at the Consular Section, and your priority date is current, you will be scheduled for an interview. If you cannot make this appointment, or you know your documents will be incomplete, please notify the Immigrant Visa Unit immediately via email at mumbaiiv@state.gov.

You will receive an appointment letter, along with Packet 4 instructions. Prior to the interview, all immigrant visa applicants (regardless of age) must undergo a medical examination by a doctor designated by the Consulate General. Only authorized doctors may complete this examination. The list of panel physician (is in the medical examination link above) authorized by the Consulate General is included in the Appointment Package for Immigrant Visa Applicants. Please see Visa Forms & Packets for more information.

All immigrant visa applicants are required to pay the courier fee and submit their documents to VFS, our offsite contractor, at least four business days prior to their visa interviews.

The Courier system for Immigrant Visas

The fee for this service is Rs.387 per applicant and should be paid in cash at a local VFS office, prior to the visa interview. For further information, please visit the VFS website, call 0120-6611411 or email infousmumbai@vfshelpline.com

Our interview date was in the same letter as the notice from the NVC that our case is now complete with them.

Is this not always the case?

I called nvc right now what they informed me is that, all the documents are forwarded to the consulate, there is nothing to be done except take the medical examination and report to the consulate for the interview with the appolntment letter. Is this true?
