August 2015 Interviews

[suzannepecak 15]

Hi guys,

pff, took me a while to read thru all of July I am up to date now.

Thanx Dwheels76 for updating me on the spreadsheet.

Was and still a bit confused whether the scheduling of the interviews is every first and last week of the month or the actual interviews. As far as I understand the scheduling. The interviews seem te be random.

How do you know when Amsterdam Embassy of the Netherlands is starting to schedule?

In awe about how long it takes for some embassies, praying and sending positive thoughts to everyone who's been waiting several months for this one important date.

Don't know bout you guys, but this process is sucking the life out of me. Like bag under my eyes kinda tired. But just repeating my matra: Stay positive it WILL happen - stay positive, it WILL happen.....

Nope not random. Scheduling normally kicks off the last week of every month (usually like by the 26th or 27th. And continues through 1st sometimes into second week. Not every embassy starts at same time. I don;t know exactly when anyone starts I just patrol VJ and Facebook and other sites for people to say they got interview for the upcoming month and I come back here and announce. If its a specific embassy sometimes I will PM someone especially if they been waiting awhile.

Hang in there its almost done.

Hi Suzannepecak,

I know exactly what you mean. This process does take a lot out of you. It really rakes a lot of patience to wait and wait. We just have to remember it will all be worth it at the end.

Oh no its my pleasure to serve and help you all get to your happily ever after.

I know of no form unless its specific to your embassy. What is it you are asking. Not quite following the

"Because i'm interested on ask for it because my fathers-in-law get her visa interview aproved 2

weeks ago and i will be interested on travel to the USA close to they, with my wife!"

Here's the information page from VJ. Maybe this has what you are asking.

Thanks for the post, i'm not sure if write a email to the embassy or better wait and be patience... I bet for the second option,

right now i still didn't received the confirmation email, so let's wait more, the agent with i talked on past Monday told me to

call back again in 2 weeks, so i will follow her words and make that call, i will let you know if i get any good notice!

As far as I know and can see its pretty short. When scheduling starts seems people for Sweden get dates.

The thing that gets people confused is some assume interview assignment is constant throughout the month and its not. Its a select few days to a week or two and they are done. When you get your date is all based on when you get case complete.

Most embassies have sent in at least 2 months in advance their calendar with available slots for Visa types. It's based on Case Complete and your PD date you get the dates that are assigned.

Next week September should start up. Every embassy doesn't start at same time. Philippines usually is always on the ball and are the first to start. India, Canada, UK. Mexico usually the last to schedule. So when I start seeing interviews scheduled (I am a stalker and looking) I announce here start calling NVC and see if your embassy has started.

Even calling NVC sometimes to ask if your embassy has started scheduling yields no result. These customer representatives always respond with the same statement: "Your case is complete and waiting for interview. You will be notified when the interview is scheduled". And then they expect you to hang up. Seriously?! Someone had been waiting on phone for over an hour to speak to you to find out many details about his/her case and all you could say to him/her is just some few generic words. I mean, it is totally not cool.

Dwheels76, please I got a quick question, I have done my medicals, do I need to contact the embassy for anything, or I just have to wait for my appointment date and just go for the interview.

Which of the two medical exam venues did you go? I want to know how fast the process is and the entire amount they collected from you. My wife will soon be going for her medicals. Also, how many days after the exam did you wait before obtaining the result?

Thanks.

Yes, you can wait until you reach the USA. But the longer you wait to pay, the longer it will take your green card to get to you!
