Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

GOOD MORNING ALL !!.

I called the NVC and Joy picked up... Maybe she was on vacation last week because she was very nice this morning...

ANYWAY ! I am trying to track my package to Costa Rica.. and I know this subject has been beaten to death but

I can track a package to Costa Rica on the 6th of June ( Friday) Looks like it left on the 9th and arrived in CR on Wednesday the 11th. I don't think that is my pacakge because I didn't get an interview date until the 11th.

Joy told me that it looks like my package left on Friday ( the 13th of all days ) but I am not getting any results when I track it ! Could it be possible that the dates are delayed in the NVC system just like everything else??? of is it possible that the tracking just isn't available yet?

I had my interview in India embassy on 12th June, it went very well but then they put me on AP (without any 221g), just a normal letter was given that your case is under AP. They kept my passport. CO asked me to wait for a minute and then a lady at a different counter ask me to write following information on a paper and said that CO wants this information.

1. Your complete travel history for the last 10-15 years, in chronological order.

2. The full names of any siblings *not* already provided in your initial application.

3. Your residence address history for the last 10-15 years, in chronological order.

4. All prior passport numbers .

5. Current occupation.

Then i was handed over AP letter and $165 fee letter.

Can you provide info around probable cause of such queries? What was so different in your case?

I have my interview tomrrow and im going through everything right now.

I got an email from the Embassy in Frankfurt a couple of days ago:

This office has received and reviewed your application. Please note that the following documents are missing and should be presented at the time of your visa interview:

- Original Birth Certificate

- Registration with the free of charge visa delivery service at www.ustraveldocs.com.

I got my original birth certificate, thats no problem. But I just went on that link and im a little confused right now. I know that i pay the fee of 165 $ AFTER the interview, so do they really just mean to have me register there? Im not sure what they want me to do and what to bring.

Hope anyone can help me out with this.. thanks in advance :)

Thanks so much! we are just waiting around in Mumbai enjoying meeting with friends! Praying everything goes smoothly this week!

Yes, good luck wishes heading your way!! :goofy:

Am I the only one that did not get the medical form with packet 4. My mom has her medical scheduled for 06/30 and I need to know how to obtain the medical form. Do I need to call NVC?

CR1/IR1 don't need to obtain medical forms, as the doctors provide them. Have you checked on the official sites whether IR-5's need to bring their own?

Have my interview tomorrow in the Mumbai Consulate, do I need to carry the scans (provided at the medicals) to the consulate for interview?

Better safe than sorry! :idea:

Good luck at the interview!!

As I understand it, we all have to register to have the visa delivered via courier, and have a copy of that paperwork in hand at the Consulate. Here in Canada we use Loomis and only have to register online to arrange the delivery of our passport/visa.

I'm fairly certain that traveldocs thing is so they can mail you your passport with visa stuff inside after the interview.

Steve, this seems really weird. Our Case Complete was June 4, and our letter came June 11. I'm really surprised you haven't gotten either your CC letter or your interview.

Time to call?

I still haven't got a CC email, and I was approved May 31. It's not the CC email that matters, it's the interview one :)

Silly question because I am sure you would post the answer if you knew.. but have you had time to call the embassy to see if they received your file. NVC told me this morning that it looks like my file was sent 6-13 but I can't find a package on DHL that left on Friday. The last package sent for CR was on the 6th, but actually departed on the 9th and delivered on the 11th. Is it possible that they already scheduled the interviews before we called to get the dates and our files could be in that package? I keep forgetting about the time difference... so if they created a label on the 13th.. maybe DHL didn't even pick up the packages from NVC yet....

Mine is in San Jose getting medical stuff done!

mine did the blood work and x-ray last Friday and has an appt with the doctor tomorrow at 10am. He was hoping the file would be at the embassy so he could swing by tomorrow after the doctor appt. The drive is about 2 hours from his house. He just wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone. Friggin gas is so expensive these days. I don't have to tell you though. :protest:

Good luck at the interview!!

As I understand it, we all have to register to have the visa delivered via courier, and have a copy of that paperwork in hand at the Consulate. Here in Canada we use Loomis and only have to register online to arrange the delivery of our passport/visa.

I'm fairly certain that traveldocs thing is so they can mail you your passport with visa stuff inside after the interview.

Ahhh I figured it out.. thanks guys.. it was basically just a confirmation page you need to bring out with the delivery address, but just hard to find on the website.. but now i can relax.
