Possible to talk to someone at embassy in person?

[Murphy'sBoy 5]

Today I finally received the email (221g) that I was told would be sent the same day as the interview, Feb 12.

Some may think I jumped the gun by screaming and howling about not getting the letter when I was told it would arrive. However I retired from a gov't agency and know that if you don't scream and howl you tend to fall between the cracks

Did you get it out of the blue or did they probably respond to a more recent email. Glad you finally got a reply.

I had to deal with them on a issue back in 2008, I found out that they will put more effort if you identify yourself as an American and the Petitioner.

Just like many government places, it's like a bunch of trained robots answering the phone...

Yup, I had a similar situation. When I (beneficiary) called USEM, they are not too helpful and will give you generic answers. But when my USC fiance called, we got some answers. Oh well, I guess it's expected that they are more accommodating to USC. The phone bills sucks though for my fiance. lol

Good luck on the rest of your process. Should me clear sailing once you get through the 221g.

The embassy has U.S. direct dial phone number

Yes I know that....and those numbers are pretty useless for us.

The only number that we were able to connect on a consistent basis is a local number for the IV inquiry line.
