Case is ready for interview.

I think you have to wait for the p3 to come then mail back the p3 as it instructed. After the consulate receive it, they will email you a letter to instruct you how to make the appointment on CGI stanley. I did the same thing last week but then i found out you couldn't even do the physical exam and go to the interview room without that email. My nvc left date is May 8th and I received an email from Guangzhou consulate saying they mailed the p3 to my fiance. Still waiting....

You can't go to the interview without the appointment letter. That comes after you make the appointment.

you can do the physical exam with the appointment letter.

The appointment letter is downloadable / emailed after you make the appointment, on the ustraveldocs website.

Just Sayin.

Well that's we we scheduled at the end of the month. I'm sure we can get that worked out.

There's nothing on the CGI Stanley website that mentions anything about waiting for anything. When you put in the information: personal data, case number, type of visa, etc, it specifically says you can make an appointment. Doesn't do anything to discourage you from scheduling the appointment. So I am confident we did the right thing.

So just to update....

I called the DOS this morning. Our information was sent electronically on May 8, but they have not received our actual paper file yet. The lady from DOS said that its very possible that the paper case is there it just hasn't been put into in the system yet. So I believe that as soon as soon as that's filed in the system, packet 3 will be sent out.

I know we probably jumped the gun by scheduling out of order, and i also booked a flight to go there for the interview. But we scheduled the interview out at the end of June so if we can receive packet 3 and turn it around quickly, I think we will be okay. I'm also there two weeks so it gives us 6.5 weeks from now to iron things out so I can be there for the interview.

I think there's a bit of a disconnect on the traveldocs website you can set up and account, put in your info, and go through all the steps to set up the interview, and at no time does it ever discourage you from doing so.
