Hi there,

I'm quite stressed that after waiting almost 2 years for my interview. I finally got my interview letter stating that my interview is scheduled in Doha (Where I worked till December 2013) and ever since have been in Delhi (My Home Country -India). My concern is that I had even notified NVC about the location change to New Delhi and received a confirmation for the same but eventually this is what has come to pass. Is there any way I could feel normal? Friends...plz :(
