Mine says ready now

So does mine!

@Spock

If i remember correctly, ZackB said "At NVC" even after mine was ready but his interview is a week before mine. So i guess it is a bit random maybe they'll send yours to the Embassy closer to your interview date?

i am worried about my case. I have applied for student visa two times before marriage. Actually me and my wife know each other since 2011 and i applied in 2012, because she suggested me to apply. But it was denied. I dont know if they ask me about it. What should i tell them. if i tell them that my wife told me to apply then may be it will be a negative impact on them. isn't?

I cannot comment on a hotel, but no you cannot leave your phone. It would be best to leave it in your hotel room, at home, or in your car.

There are many hotels that are not too far from US Embassy, such as in F-6 markaz or F-7 markaz. Serena is very close but also very expensive. I would suggest you and other to search on google maps for hotels.

Come join the Scan Date to Case Complete thread. To be added to the Scan Date to Case Complete spreadsheet, simply post your Scan Date and/or Case Complete date in the thread. You will be added to the spreadsheet which is available now.

Can anyone give me any advice?

My case was completed on 9/7/15. Online it says READY on the CEAC. I dont have any interview date. Whenever I call NVC, they state theres no date yet.

I dont know if this is normal for the CEAC to say ready or in transit or at nvc?
