Can anyone help me with the number to call to request for our case number? Is almost 3 weeks after approval still no news whatsoever.

DoS: 202-485-7600

I think CSC cases are still taking over a month to get a case number though.

Ahhhhh i just got my packet 4 via email and my interview date is Nov 5!!! I was not expecting this at all. They only got my package 3 days ago! Ozgirl! You were right!!

Congratulations! Almost there now. I'm still waiting for my AFP report. I lived in Sydney for 7 years, and have to get one from there too. I sent it off a little earlier than my UK one (lived in London for 2 years), which I got back in about a week and a half. It's the last thing I need before sending back pkt 3. I saw someone on the Australia forum who also sent their AFP check on the 9th and got it back yesterday, so hopefully ours will be in the post soon. A friend in Melbourne is receiving it and couriering it to me. At least it seems to be taking less than the 30 working days (!!!!!) that they keep saying when we call. I wanna go be with my fiance already!!! LOL

Done with the interview today! smile.png Approved! smile.png

I'm sure it's mothers maiden name, that's what I filled in

I've just filled and submitted the DS-160 tonight. I put my mothers married name as thats what it shows on my birth certificate. I dont think it will be a huge issue. Just let them know at the interview should they enquire about it.

done my medical in one day!all is well!!off to my interview by Nov. 13, 2013.. wish me luck!!dancin5hr.gif

Woo hooo Good luck.. Wishing you all the best.

Can anyone help me with the number to call to request for our case number? Is almost 3 weeks after approval still no news whatsoever.

Yeah, CSC are taking forever. I waited 42 days for our case number. Hang in there. Meanwhile, gather your info and I-134 and have them ready. Good Luck also

Did the embassy require anyone to take pictures to the interview? The instructions suggest that he take some evidence of the relationship. Of course, with Skype we have no phone bills. We use Whatsapp and iMessage on our iPhones and Skype for communication. That's much better than the phone. We did some screen shots of ourselves chatting on Skype. He could make them sick with the million heart emojis that I send on whatsapp or iMessage. should he take some photos? Maybe some of the thousands we took together? If so, would a computer print work or should he actually have them printed? What would you do? How many pictures would you take?
