9 week wait for interview

[Jennyxo 0]

Hi there

So, I'm getting kind of concerned but mostly just frustrated... I submitted readiness form on Oct 31st and had medical on Nov 5th so have now been waiting for the interview for nine weeks.

The only information I have managed to obtain from them before Christmas via phone is that it is in the scheduling department. There has been no indication that anything is wrong or missing - and I'm not sure why there would be a problem, we got our NOA2 after 4 months but with no hiccups.

We wanted to do a wedding around Christmas time so I stated date of travel as 6th December and wedding as 13th December but that obviously made no difference.

I sent an email to the embassy at the beginning of December and received no response and have since contacted them again via email after new year but I am yet to hear.

I've trawled many conversation threads and can't seem to find anyone else with a similar wait time of quite this long between readiness, medical and interview without hearing anything at all. Maybe there is? Please speak up, misery loves company and all that ;-)

Oh and CEAC status - updated 11th November (I assume receipt of medical), then on 5th December (I believe possibly when I emailed), and again on 19th December (not sure - hopefully interview but haven't received a letter)

Any ideas what I can do?

It is impossible to reach anyone by phone at the embassy in London. The people who answer the phone only deal with non-immigration visa's.

The only thing you can do is contact them online here explain your situation and they will get back to you. If you don't hear anything in 3-5 days, email them again.

We contacted them from the US side but I did speak to someone also, although they didn't tell me too much.

Yeah, I have contacted them twice now via that link but haven't had a response, I'll contact again this week if no news.

Thanks for your help

Is it possible you submitted your form of readiness and DS-160 prior to them receiving your case? I have heard this happening and people just re-submit those forms to rectify the problem. Not sure if this applies, just a suggestion. Good luck!

Hey, no I don't think so because I received the packet from the embassy around the 15-20th October telling me of the next steps to take.

I got my NOA2 notification on 17th September and it took around a month from then to get that package but I didn't do anything whilst I waited. Very odd. Hopefully I will get a reply today and sort it out thanks!

Wishing you the best of luck in getting this sorted!!
