We're waiting for our interview date as well. Our NOA2 expires next week so I've already printed an updated copy of my letter of intent and plan to get it notarized with my signature tomorrow and sent out priority as well since this is the requirement if your application expires.

I've been calling the NVC every morning and evening to see if I can get the interview date but so far no dice. They keep repeating that their system is very slow and they tell me to either call back later or contact the embassy. I've sent in an email to the NVC as well as sending an inquiry to the embassy via their online contact form. We are getting very anxious to hear something as we enter the home stretch!

I have a funny feeling, by looking at the previous thread about people's interviews, that all 3 of us are all going to get the same interview date.

i can totally see that happen!

Based on your timeline your medical was a lot earlier so i think maybe you will get an earlier interview date....but these things are not first come first serve so you never know!

It would just be nice if someone could tell me "yes it's been scheduled" or "no it has not" instead of "our system is down and we have nothing to tell you."

Tonight when I called the NVC, after their blanket statement of their system being down, they directed me to call the UK embassy. Great, so I tried calling that number and went through a series of automated answers before they finally disconnected me.

Does anyone have a better solution to finding out an interview date? =/

I called the NVC earlier and was told by rep on the phone said "we don't issue interview dates the consulate does that and we dont know when dates are set. so you need to call them."

It's annoying as lots of other people on here say they called the NVC and they was told if there date has been set yet or not yet that's twice I have been told the opposite

That's ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that's exactly why the NVC are dealing with us now instead of the DOS. It's like none of the departments want to deal with us. All we want to know is a simple "no" or a "yes and (date)!"

I wouldn't be as persistent about this if I hadn't read all the horror stories about London not being very thorough with mailing the interview dates out...

Have you tried calling the embassy and asking to be put through to the IV unit?

They received my case on the 7th and my case has been touched on the 10th, 11th and 12th so far so they must be doing something with it haha

I did try the embassy at (703) 439-2367 but never got to speak to a live person. All the options lead to recorded messages that all end with being disconnected, unless there was something I missed.

Yes, a silver lining! =) Ours hasn't been touched since the 7th. Keep me updated on your progress!

Have you tried the switchboard on 020 7499-9000? I might try it tomorrow

No but I just called the NVC again this morning and spoke with "Gina" who at first told me she didn't see anything in regards to an interview date, then I asked her, "But you can see if it's been set or not?" and she said, "Yes our system is back up today and..oh I see that a date has been set for March 12th at 8am, but make sure you check with the embassy as dates can change, OK?"

Soo, yay we have our interview date but what does she mean by it can change? Never heard of such a thing. How are we meant to make plans to travel if the date might change?!

Anyway try calling the NVC and ask for Gina. =)

You aren't supposed to make plans to travel until you have a visa in your hand. An interview date does not mean you will have your visa by a certain date. It could be 3 days, 2 weeks, 8 weeks, 8 months....people have all had that experience for various reasons.
