3 weeks ago we get an email from NVC that says all the processing is complete on my mother-in-laws I-130.

A week ago we get another from them saying they are just waiting for Manila ro schedule an interview.

Then on Monday we get an email that says our interview is scheduled for Oct 3rd!!

Yea!! So we start getting things setup for MiL's medical and I get this cryptic phone call today at 4:35PM from some guy claiming to be from NVC saying our interview letter was sent 'by mistake'...

And that we are not actually scheduled on the 3rd.

When I ask whats going on he says. 'I can't elaborate' and thats it!! Did not even say who he was. Would not answer any questions and would not even say when we might be rescheduled!!

My wife and her family are just devastated!!

Every letter we have received would be held up in court as a legal evidence for NVC to terminate the application if a year went by so why is it also not legalling binding on them as well??

We had a legally binding interview and now they want to just back out of it saying it was a 'mistake'....

This sucks!!

Yes but wouldn't the embassy know if your appointment was cancelled?They phone call sounds fishy. Call the embassy or call NVC and tell them that you got a strange call and want to confirm that it came from them.

Mahalo/Salamat!

the embassy generates the interview date

interview dates are provided to the nvc by the embassy in question

the interview date is then provided by email in pdf to both the petitioner and beneficiary by nvc

one the interview date is set, the hard copy of the file is sent to the embassy from nvc

We did call NVC and NVC did confirm that we had no interview scheduled.

The email was 'a mistake'

It sucks!

Hi, we have the same fate. My parents interview date (Oct 3) also got cancelled and for reasons we dont know. We called the NVC and they said that they sent the email by mistake (NVC doesnt make mistakes; they even are the ones who looks for an error in the documents that we file)..

Question:

1. Can we use the same letter to proceed with the Medical examination at St. Luke's?

2. If we proceed with the interview, will US Embassy Manila reject us?

3. What's the best way to approach this?

We plan on calling the NVC first thing in the morning. I need my parents with me because I have a son who will be having a heart surgery. He's only 4 months old and I would like them to be with me for support.

Sorry to hear about your son. I hope all goes well.

I do not know if you can use the letter or not.

I would not do it just to avoid screwups but its your call I guess.
