My case was expedite and on the April 4th Madrid Embassy sent to my husband an email saying this:

"The appointment for your wife has been scheduled on April 24th at 15:00 p.m. Regards"

I don't have the NVC appointmet letter... because NVC told my husband we need to wait on Madrid.

Can anyone tell me if is this normal and if I'll still get something in the mail or email from Madrid Embassy? Saying what documents need to take to the interview?

I already scheduled my medical examination on the Arpil 23th, so i am excited about to have more information about what i need to do.

Thanks all

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

there's the "general" list of items they require you to bring. I checked your country "Madrid, Spain" and it says they have no other specific items they request... which is good, El Salvador had another list of 10 items they request.

as for the NVC Appointment Letter, I got mine by email, you should maybe call the NVC and see when and where you will be receiving it...

edit: make sure you get your medical exams on the 23rd when you do them since you have to report with them on the 24th, some places tell you they will drop it off themselves, I wouldn't trust them with such a short time before the interview...

Thank you for take your time and answer!!!

My husband did called NVC. They said since my case was expeditious they sent my package to the embassy and now we are on the Madrid embassy's hand.

When I called the hospital, they said my exam will be @ 11am on the 23th and i can pick it back on the 24th @12am, and my interview is @ 3pm on the same day... I live farway from the embassy, in another city, so, i do prefer pay less hotel...

I am anxious about everything, and to have my doctor's appointment onde day before de interview is driving me nuts, but i have faith that everything will be good!

Happy Easter to ya'll!!

Saludos
