Okay a little housekeeping things I will be doing on spreadsheet.

1. India will now be identify which embassy. They are the only ones here with two embassies that are polar opposites of each other (well with scheduling) so would like people to see.

2. Going through spreadsheet and trying to update old entries. Some people don't bother to have a timeline and fill the form after CC and disappear. Change their VJ name, ughhhh . If I can;t find you I will delete you.

3. Please use and look at the spreadsheet its there for a reason. I see alot of post of people asking here "So when was your CC date". Really people . Spreadsheet Spreadsheet

If there are other ideas to make the spreadsheet better please speak up. I am here for you. Hey Toozler any help with your great stat expertise is gladly accepted.

CC Augest 11 no interview yet Anyone from Turkey embassy ?

Congratulations. Welcome to the group. I have added you to the spreadsheet. So your interview will be in Turkey at the embassy? Can you update your profile with the correct country flag and also change the K3 to IR1/CR1. This allows your posts to land in the proper portal. Thank you and welcome.

Just like someone suggested i also checked https://cgifederal.secure.force.com, i didnt check for any appointment but it shows some date on the side.

It shows like this.

First Available Appointment Is Monday September 14, 2015.

yeah, its also showing the same date First Available Appointment Is Monday September 14, 2015. for me,

but i guess this is for ppl who already received appointment schedule from NVC

yesterday it was November 5th now September 14th. Something is progressing.. Two weeks ago when I checked it was showing me Aug 24th. Lets hope these changes result in out interview scheduling. Does anyone from Mumbai called yesterday? I have gone throw lots of old threads, seems its always a delay when it comes to Jul/Aug/Sept. In 2012, all July filers got their Interview date on Sept 14. Last year it was Sept 2nd. So hopefully our miracle day is not too far. Fingers crossed to hear the good news. keep the spirit up

Guys. there is no point having usadocs\cgifederal account just yet. Creating an account just to devise interview trends is not necessary, and may be clogging up the System for those who actually need appointment dates.

Let's be patient. We will receive notification when there is an interview date.. and corresponding biometrics slots become available.

No, my original joint sponsor didn't make enough on his own but NVC told me not to send anything else in because it would cause a delay in my interview scheduling and to just bring another affidavit to the interview itself. So I now have a joint sponsor who makes enough but I included the original joint sponsor just in case they asked about him.

No, they don't live in the same household, they don't even know each other.

Then a I-864A would not be filled out then. Your new joint sponsor will fill out a I-864.

I always though more evidence was always better? And I put each paper in sheet protectors so that I wouldn't have to punch holes in them. Should I just have them in a stack of papers? I liked the binder idea because I wanted to put in dividers with labels for everything, it seemed like the most organized system.

Should I not have done that?

No what I was saying do whatever you like this is your binder. It's not like you are turning over the binder to the embassy. How ever you want to organize it is for you to decide. Take anything take everything that is your choice. They may ask for nothing or anything. But usually with a well submitted I-130 package nothing is ever asked for. But nothing wrong with being prepared. Tabs, labels its all your binder to do with what you wish. Just make sure they are originals (pictures and such) and easy access to take out and organized so you aren't fumbling through finding stuff (CO's hate that).

[dwheels76 5,468]

My husband and I have been through an interview before. In our experience, my husband wasn't allowed to take our binder in. They had him take out the documents they needed, and left some unneeded documents in the binder, which he left outside the interview. I have a friend who took a beautifully made album to her interview, containing her relationship evidence. After all that lovely scrap-booking work she did, she had to dismantle the album and take in only the pages.

I would recommend the see through accordion folders. They have labels you slide what you want in each section. Looks nice and they like that. Some embassies have stopped the metal binder due to security risk.

I know of some who have accordion folder for their spouse to collect evidence along the way.

[dwheels76 5,468]

That's terrible!

I guess I'll just bring a stack of papers then. All that work for nothing. I actually made books with our pictures but I guess it's no use taking those anymore. Oh well=/

Thanks!

No books are bad idea because you can't slide under the glass. You need to be able to take a picture pout when they say I want to see this and that. Show me pictures of last trip. Many embassies (I believe all) have those bank type windows so you slide under the glass. That's why easy access is key. The folders show organization and easy access to the interviewee.

Hi dwheels76 can you answer it for me please

I already submitted my uncle's DS-160 (for B1/B2 visa) with a particular date (X) as 'Intended Date of Arrival'. But I am unable to get a visa appointment before that date. So, should I submit the DS-160 again? or is it okay they can correct it at embassy ?

Hmmmm don't know he can't come before you come? What is the duration of his entry? 6 months, 1 year 2 year?

[dwheels76 5,468]

Hii Folks

I am also waiting for my interview schedule from NVC in Mumbai India consulate . My CC 22nd June .

Does contacting the consulate help??

And is the NVC call center the only source of interview information??

Contacting the embassy does nothing for individual case because they don;t have your case file. You could ask questions but really it does nothing they will refer you to NVC.

Hi DWheels76.......I just checked the CEAC site at 11:00 pm. Saw 3 N/A's and I was able to contact NVC just now and surprisingly got through and they confirmed CASE COMPLETE......17 days from Scan date...still in shock. PRAYING for an Interview date real soon. I am going to try to add myself to the list.....

Congratulations. Welcome to the group.

Hi guys,

A new member here. My case was completed on August 18th. Still waiting for the interview letter too. Good luck to all. xx

Congratulations. Welcome to the group.

[dwheels76 5,468]

So you ready? Medical done. Evidence in hand. You ready set go.

creating account doesn't clog up the system - this is unheard of it.

it gives different dates for different types of visa and embassy - this has to mean something that we are unable understand.

for instance k1, October 23 is earliest available date as of now

[dwheels76 5,468]

Who will get their interview schedule first from the following embassies ?

Why are you posting this here. This has nothing to do with anyone waiting here. All those packages bring sent from NVC to the embassies could be anything . However if you have no interview its not being sent out.

These are K1's and others who have a scheduled interview. So not sure what you are asking here. All these folks have interview (Unless its an expedite than the interview will be done at embassy).

[draga 14]

On appointments, I know our embassy only does K1 on Tuesdays. So even if our embassy showed an interview available for this coming Tuesday it wouldn't be usable by us.
