July 2014 Interviews

[Sukie 1,460]

All you folks waiting for your interviews...

I've been checking the DHL site like a maniac. The last package *I* can find is from June 13th!!! There was a huge batch that went out on the 11th, and some on the 12, with one to Ireland on the 13th, but absolutely NOTHING since then.

I think my file is already at the Sydney Consulate (I think it got there Monday morning, Aussie time), but my case status has been "In Transit" since last Friday.

Has anyone else been trying to track their package from NVC to their Embassy/Consulate?

The ONLY reason I'm a little nervous is that we have to get written permission for me to attend the interview - and we've written the Consulate, with no reply. If our case hasn't reached Sydney yet, I fear they will not answer the email. I'd just like to know that the file has arrived....

Hi Dwheels76,

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

So I emailed the Embassy twice already asking if I could get an earlier interview date and they just seem to ignore my emails. For anyone who has successfully done so, how long did it take for them to get back to you?

Thank you,

My hubby called the embassy to ask. Are you or your spouse able to call? They changed the date right over the phone.

Good Luck!

I saw a few responses from people who are interviewing through Casa, Morocco. I was hoping one of you would tell me how much time it took from NBC case complete until your interview. What was the wait time? I am trying to plan it so that I can be in Morocco when my husband goes for his interview.

Thank you.

Dwheels I asked you two questions and you never replied me.

Hello all !

Quick question, I'm am getting together all my documents for the interview - marriage certificate, benef. birth certificate & police records. They will all be in French, do I need to get them translated AGAIN even though NVC will send my package with the translations?

Hi, no need to translate the documents if they are in French, if they are in another language, you need to translate them again (I saw this on the Paris embassy pdf in the government's website). Hope this helps!

Hi Sukie! I have been trying to track them and I think they might already be there. Do I need to get permission to be at the interview too? I thought I could just go and also bring our bubs.

You must write to the Sydney Consulate and get written permission for you and your bub to be there. If your name isn't on the list, you won't be able to enter the Consulate. You can find the email address on their website. Be SURE to get written permission from them!

Hopefully now, if they have our files, they'll get back to us!

If I may ask a stupid question, I tried the DHL search thingy, but I'm dense and wasn't able to figure out when the last package sent to London was. I know my case wouldn't be in the last one (I'm just trying to piece together how realistic a July interview is). My reasoning is if the cases from last week are still sitting there, maybe there's a chance for me lol

you can take a look at my signature.

Anyway:

NOA2 from NSC: 26 Feb 2013

FIle received at NVC: 11-Mar-2014

Case # assigned: 10-Apr-2014

Case Complete: 15-May-2014

interview date: 09-Jul-2014 (interview scheduled on 29-May-2014)

I hope this helps

Well its about slots they have and I know the embassy likes at least a 40 day window of time so usually about 15th on the likelihood of having a interview that next month deems.

London is one of the more busier embassies and they have packages almost daily. You can't go by what is sent those could be all manner of petitions 1's reaffirms all kinds.

[dwheels76 5,468]

Pls dwheels do you know any good and affordable hotel very close to the u.s embassy lagos?

I know there's some all around the embassy affordable well what is affordable for you. It will run you over a $100 to $200 a night yes. But they are within walking distance.

Thank you! That makes total sense. I'm counting on an August interview at this stage, all I can think is we missed the cut-off by one business day - I told my husband a few months ago that's probably what would happen! I'll be shocked if I squeak by (I highly doubt it, though)!
