Three weeks from when you get the letter is pretty normal. Jaygee informed them she had a short timeline when she needed to be in the US. AND she lives in London so could easily make it to an intervi

Assuming you have already completed "packet 3" then expect to wait a week (ish)

Based on my timeline you could get your interview letter this week but I would contact the embassy to check on your address as you didn't get the "packet 3" letter and you might not get the interview letter. The embassy can email you the date which is what they did for me and I received the interview letter 2 days later.

ok awesome, thank you! We used the contact us last week and they basically said they had all the information from the Medical + forms to set an interview date, He did email them back to see if they had the right address, but they haven't responded. Hopefully we will get word soon!!!

Congrats! When did you say you needed to go to USA? Do you think they allocate interviews accordingly. Mine is the 14th October... and looks like we are ahead in the process. We are happy with the 14th though because we are waiting for some paperwork :-) I was just wondering how it works?

Cheers,

Amber

When he filled out the DS-160 he stated the wedding will be November 8th. We still didn't expect it to be this soon. Pretty awesome though!!

So awesome.... :-)

Have you registered your interview on the usvisa-info website yet? Did you select non-immigrant or immigrant visa? I get confused on this every time. I know on the CEAC website it is immigrant visa... is it the same for this registering process?

Thanks,

Amber
