Hello all,

I emailed my DS230 and got a respond stating that an interview letter will be sent to my fiance when a date is available. When we did our last petition we were given an interview date immediately after emailing the DS230. Ive requested an expedite interview and been emailing the embassy and of course no response and its been over 5 business days. When I check our.case.status online it says ready.for interview. Whats the new procedure for interviews? My next step is to contact DHS.

Call the DOS and see if they have it set up yet.

I do receive emails back from Kingston usually the next day but they all say wait. If by chance you find something that works please share. I call DOS once a week and they say contact Kingston. Kingston advise me to try back after a complete four weeks have past I'm still calling every week maybe something will change soon. Good Luck

I called DOS daily until I got my date. I find more success calling early in the morning versus late afternoon.

what is the number for DOS? I'd like to include it with my information. I know i am still premature, but I want to be well versed when our NOA2 arrives

You can call DOS at 202-663-1225, press option 1, then press 0.

Good Luck on your journey....

Thanks sweetie :). I called DOS and was told that as of today packet 3 was mailed to him. When I already.emailed it to them n it was confirmed to.have been received. Also, when I look at the NIV case status it says its ready for interview since the 15th. Really confused.
