Interview Date

[Sacha 0]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering that once the check list for package 3 has been sent to the consulate that we have collected all the relevant documents such as, police record, birth certificate etc. How long before they contact you for an interview date?

I am hoping to be interviewed by end of November at the very latest because I'm looking to leave the UK by January 6th 2007 (assuming that all goes well).

Many thanks

Sacha

I am not this far into the process yet but I plan on requesting that a provisional file be opened for my fiance as soon as I get my NOA2 with the hopes that will speed up the process. Someone said this proceedure is obsolite, but I'm going to try it anyway. Maybe the person who recives my request wont know its obsolite, if it even is

An example of how to request the opening of a provisional file can be found here:

Another question that I have, when you send off the forms for Package 3 are you supposed to get a confirmation from the consulate? I sent the forms off 1 month ago and have not heard from them. Should I worry?

I have just emailed them (LondonConsular@state.gov) with my case number. I hope they've received everything.

When I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks from the Consulate in Frankfurt/ Germany after sending in my package 3, I started to call and email them and it turned out, that the original petition was still on the way from the NVC to the Consulate.

I started to call them every 3 days and finally they told me, that the petition arrived. It took then another 2 weeks until the name background check was finished and then I received an unexpected phonecall from the Consulate on a Monday, where they offered me an interview date for Wednesday.

I would recommend to call or email them (what you already did) and to ask, if they received everything. I did the same and at least I received the email, that they got everything, and I was calmed. For us the waiting period between sending of pack 3 and receiving the interview date was the toughest time.

Anyway... good luck to you and I hope you'll get your interview date soon!!!!
