Hi everyone!

We got our Case completed at NVC on 1st July! No interview email yet. Any pointers? The NVC tells us that they schedule the interview first, and then sends the file to the embassy. The embassy says they get the file first and then schedule the interview.

Any help please? Which one is right?

Did you try calling NVC? You should have received the interview date by now.

Have you checked to see on the ceac if it's "in transit?" Mine didn't show up until Monday morning. We still haven't found any to London yet! You use the EXP 04 AUG 2014A (example) format for the reference. Plus, you put a different range dates in. Usually take a day or two to show up in the system though.

10-JUN-2014 IV Docs received by NVC

13-JUN-2014 IV Docs matched to case (scanned)

30-JUL-2014 Case Complete, CC email auto-sent one week later

20-AUG-2014 AOS fee changed to N/A (Final clearance for interview scheduling?)

29-AUG-2014 Consular Interview scheduled on Oct 1st. Later rescheduled to Sep 24th. P4 Letter received following business day
