Hello Guys,

Congratulations to ALL recent visa approvals!

I called this morning and got my interview date Thank God : Dec 30th @ 8am. I will probably try to get an early one... if possible!

Do you guys know if we can request an early interview date before our case is at the Consulate or do we have to wait until they get it ?

Do I need to get a new birth certificate, police certificate and court records from all the countries I lived in? Note that I've already submitted originals to NVC

Thank you very much for your response and Good luck to those still waiting for their interview to be scheduled!

Result Summary
Waybill: 2822030702 Processed at LONDON-HEATHROW - UK Sign up for shipment notifications Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 13:33 Origin Service Area: BOSTON, MA - PORTSMOUTH - USA Destination Service Area: ISLAMABAD - ISLAMABAD - PAKISTAN

I have found my package through DHL tracking. My CEAC status showed "In Transit" on Monday 11/10.

dwheels, does each principal applicant asked to bring same visa interview documents or is it different for every case?

I know everyone has to take their passport pics, valid passport, medical. I am curious about other documents such as evidence of relationship. I know someone who has been asked to take the scan copies of AOS package submitted at NVC but my wife hasn't been asked to bring scanned copies of AOS package. They only ask her to bring photocopy of civil documents.

I asked before but, I want to make sure. NVC keeps telling me they are waiting on interview date. If I call DR embassy directly do you think they can help me out? Or it's best just to wait for NVC.

Our interview is in 6 days.

Our case was expedited on October 17th, shipped to Belgrade Embassy and since then we haven't gotten any emails or snail mail. I finally called last Friday, Belgrade doesn't seem to like answering emails, and was told that not only did they receive our case from NVC but that our interview date is on November 19th and we will receive the interview packet soon. The man told me the packet was posted to our house (4 hours drive south) on Nov. 6th. We are still waiting on the mail to come. I called the embassy again today to inquire about the packet and once again was met by the rude man that told me I have plenty of time, just to wait. I asked if I could get it emailed to me or if I could come pickup a copy of it at the embassy but he said no. Six days is not "plenty of time" if I need to get more official papers and translations.

Can anyone tell me about their interview packet for a IR1/CR1 visa? Did they ask for another updated police and/or court certificate? Does the Embassy require translations? We are doubled minded because of the cost. If we need it then I would like to apply for the police certs tomorrow, but it is a lot of money for us if it is not necessary. HELP!?

*On 08/01/14 I received a checklist via email and responded right away. Over a month later, on 09/09/14, I received the hard-copy in the mail. Upon reading the hard-copy, I found that NVC made a mistake and emailed me the wrong checklist. I contacted a supervisor at NVC and she instructed me to write a letter of explanation to accompany my "real" checklist response. She also told me this may not help me and that we may be back in line. Lord help us!
