By the way Monteal asked me to register the appointment at https://usvisa-info.com/ .

It is asking me DS-260 number. If I enter OMB CONTROL NUMBER from DS-260 by logging in, it gives an error, "Invalid and has already been taken". Also with Case number, it shows "is not ready for an appointment".

If you log on to the ceac portal and click on IV application and then click view and then click sign youll see the ds260 confirmation page.At the bottom, just above the bard code you see the confirmation number. This is the number you need. It consists of letters and numbers.

Oh my goodness!! What is going on with Mexico?! Or better ciudad Juarez!! They are taking forever to give out their schedules for September and it's not like they'll have many dates anyway cause of all the U.S. AND MEXICAN holidays but they should get their stuff together! I just called and nothing. Been waiting with cc since April how much longer will my husband and I have to wait. We just celebrated anniversary over Skype and it sucked. We thought by this time in August we'd already be living together.

I cant believe you have been on wait since April!!! I took close to 5 months processing with the NVC cause they had a "supervisor" review my documents and received my CC on July 9th....I'm praying for one of those September interviews in Juarez....but dang, you def need one! I figured there wouldn't be any update for us today....but they better start tomorrow, it almost makes you wanna chew out one of the reps! :ranting:

I'm so sorry you have to wait so long. I've only been waiting a mth and already I am getting super impatient. I was so hopeful that by today those from the end of April and May would have received their Sept interviews. Come on NVC, just schedule September interviews already!!!! Or let us schedule our own!

I feel for you, A LOT. It is just so unfair that you have been waiting for an interview since April. I don't know what I'd be doing by now if I were in your shoes. I pray for good news for you very very soon. Hang in there.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a nice Monday. I was sorry to see there was no movement for those of you waiting for your interview dates. Hopefully tomorrow will bring lots of good news.

My husband had his medical exam last Friday. I guess it went well. They gave him one envelope for the embassy and one (sealed) for when he enters the U.S. .. my husband is not a fan of shots so he wasn't thrilled that they gave him 2 and took a large blood specimen.. but he survived..thankfully. He made me laugh..such a strong man afraid of needles.. but I am glad he over came the fear and got it done.

Thursday is his interview.. I am so nervous! and so ready for it to be over. Like many of you we have missed an anniversary..and we actually have one coming up on the 2nd of September.

I hope my next post will be to tell you we were approved. Wish us luck!

I'll be watching as the week goes on.. Hope to see lots of interviews scheduled.

Take care everyone!
