Been waiting for our interview letter why is it taking too long. Omg! We want to have our medical already but it says that we need the interview letter. No mail yet even my mom in US haven't received interview letter yet mailing in Philippines is taking too long

Hi may i know when was your case completed? And without the appointment letter you can go on with your med.exam..I asked SLEC and they said as long as I know the Case number and visa category..I can proceed with the medical..just print your visa status in ceac..you can show it as a proof of your case #.=)

Those who are going to mumbai for interview and biometrics kindly keep in mind that US consulate and VAC/OFC are in different locations (Both in BKC but Bandra Kurla complex is having many buildings/offices etc) so always ask for Trade center for finger print and US consulate for visa interview (Near Trident hotel/City bank etc).I have noticed that lot of ppl had issue with this bcz both the address says BKC

Visa was approved 12/5. CEAC updated to issued on 12/8... Still waiting for tracking info to pick up the visa. I called the help line for ais.usvisa-info.com and was told that everything was registerd correctly by me on 11/5. I emailed the embassy this morning and will have my husband call DHL to see if it has made it there for pick up.

WORST DAY OF MY LIFE --- i was issued a 221 (g) after my immigrant visa interview. they want more additional processing on mefrom MONTREAL CONSULATE>. and its NOT BECAUSE OF my marriage or validity of it. Its because I have a PhD in sciences. YEAH.apparently I am too educated to be in the USA. funny i got my education there. so more additional processing.strangei have been going to the USA 15 times.in the last yearthey never needed to do it thenand suddenly now they do.

it can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 year. YES!!! so i am giving up on going there. All i can do is get my spouse here. i submitted the paperwork they wanted from me but i don't have any hope it will work at all. i have seen how much time they can make you waitthis is truly disgusting.

Wow target novemeber. I just read ur post. And I m absolutely disgusted!!! It is worst what they did to me. Unbelievable. I m also a doctor and thank God they didn't give me a hard time because of that. I thought they prefer educated ppl and not the opposite. I hope u get rid of this AP soon. Trust me my eyes kept getting wider as I went through ur post. And that too on Montreal consulate which is not even a fraud country *smh* looks like dec 8 wasn't a lucky day for interviews.

Taxi guys are familiar with it... they will ask you are you going for finger print or interview ? .. I think people who try to go their own will end up in the consulate

Thank you much!!! I just wanted to make sure, I'm a little obsessive when it comes to legal/Immigration forms and letters.. lol So basically is just asking for the P4 letter... I will have my hubby take everything else just in case, DS-260 and 261, Birth Certificate/Marriage Certificate.. I only have a copy of the divorce papers they have the original..

Hi everyone-- good luck to all the upcoming interviews. I hope it's ok that I'm posting here, I'm really at a loss as to where to get help. I tried posting in the embassy section, but have had no answers. My husband had his interview in November, the 13th, to be precise, and they told him it was approved and to sign up for an account on ustraveldocs.com to register for delivery... He couldn't figure it out, and asked me to do it, and finally I got some help here on VJ and created a profile for him on the 18th of November.

So we have been waiting anxiously for his visa, and started to get pretty worried last week... the embassy is really not anxious to give much information... when I first wrote to them they told me to contact the courier, but the phone number that they sent didn't work. After I pointed this out, and sent a few more e-mails, they told me to contact the customer service for ustraveldocs.com. MEanwhile the account on ustraveldocs says the embassy still has the passport. I called a few times, and was generally rebuffed, but finally someone in the American citizen services department said they would contact the visa people and find out what was going on. That was yesterday. A few hours later I got e-mail where they finally admitted that they had given the passport to the courier on the 17th of November, and reiterated that I would have to contact ustraveldocs customer service, that they (the embassy) can't do anything more... meanwhile, I have been trying to contact customer service... they don't answer the chat, at least not for 3 hours, and when you call the phone number the recording says it's not during their operating hours, even though it is. I sent them an e-mail explaining the situation, and got something from a no-reply address saying they had created an account with my e-mail address. (I used my husband's address for his account.) So I don't know what to do... does anyone have any ideas? Is there some state department phone number to address issues with ustraveldocs.com? Is there somewhere else on VJ I could post where someone might have experience with this sort of thing? I very disturbed that they couldn't tell me for 3 weeks that they had already given it to the courier... what a mess!

I think the consulate have this on their site... There will be extensive delay if you don't create a profile and select pick up location before interview. I believe consulate issued passport and handed over to the courier.. since you didn't select a pick up location they probably have it somewhere .. as I said before you should go directly to the nearest location of the courier and ask them for help. .they might can contact their other locations or consulate staffs to track your passport...
