Interview scheduled! November 21st. The Friday before Thanksgiving week isn't exactly the stuff dreams are made of, but I suppose I should be thankful we finally have an interview date.

My interview is in first week of November and I have not got that call. Maybe they called me and I missed it. I do not call back unknown numbers if I missed the call.

Thanks for the details. If possible please share the questions they asked and papers/proofs they requested during the interview?

Thank you!!

Usually they start scheduling few days before the month ends up till second week of the following month. I think December schedule should start any time from next week.

Recently, my job title has changed at work and salary has increased. I have already a case complete. What should be done in this case, in regards to AOS? I am thinking maybe when my wife goes for her interview, she can take a new AOS with change in title and change in salary with her and present it their with copies of old AOS?

If you have been through this situation or know anyone else, then please let me know what should be done. Thank you.

We got Interview Letter from NVC. Are we supposed to get any other letter or package from Mumbai Embassy?

Did you get any letter/package Mumbai embassy?

I have had the same thing happen. I was just thinking of getting a new employer verification letter for hubby. Although, I'm not too sure if it really effects anything if our AOS was approved already with the older salary.

That makes sense.

Right before I got CC, I checked the our embassy calendar and saw that there was nothing available for November except for 2 spots and that was 10/15. The next day, the calendar shows a lot of open spots and that's probably AFTER all the Interview dates given. I think what happens is the consulate/embassy sends out the schedule to the NVC first before releasing the dates to the rest of visa applicants.

So it looks like CCs between 9/15-10/14 should have the November Interview dates and 10/15-11/14 will have December interview dates

Not sure about other embassies, but we can check it with the Philippine Embassy. It's more for the Non-Immigrant visas since they schedule their own interview dates

It won't change anything, if they ask your employer name just give the old one because they have your W-2s for last three years and you just recently had a new job. All they want to know is if you are currently working, and what is your job title.

I have had the same thing happen. I was just thinking of getting a new employer verification letter for hubby. Although, I'm not too sure if it really effects anything if our AOS was approved already with the older salary.
