Never hurts to call especially since the interveiw email does not necessarily come on the day the interview is scheduled...I called them every single day from the day i submitted my AOS and Civil docs to the day I received interview date!!! No shame in stalking them.

Hey guys! I have a quick question. When we went to our interview my husband was told to bring all his old passports. So we brought in the two. Turns out he had one before, so he actually has three passports. I had no idea and he had forgotten about this last one (or really first one, the first one he was issued). Looking at it, it doesn't even look like he ever used it. Is this going to cause a problem? We're going to the embassy today to pick up his two passports.

He had his interview today at 8am, he got there at 7:20, make sure you bring the DS 260 confirmation page in addition to everything else. He got his number, and they called him to the first window within 15mins. At the first window, the teller went through all of his file that the NVC sent. After the teller completed this, he told my husband to wait to be called again for the second window/interview. 10mins later they called his number again, this time the officer asked my husband questions regarding out marriage, what my occupation was and his occupation, asked about our child, and then the officer made my husband take an oath, and then he told my husband he was approved. Overall, it was a smooth process. We are now just waiting in his passport and sealed packet to arrive in the courier service, as soon as it arrives, we r booking his flight.
