My Case Status just changed today to "in Transit" :dance: My hubby's interview is February 14 in Naples, planning on being there with him. I'm so looking forward to the next couple of weeks to fly by!

BTW, dwheels76's statement regarding documents being sent to embassy from NVC 10-14 days before interview is right on point. Once again, thanks dwheels76! you keep us all sane!

Congrats to all the Interviews scheduled today, I remember how happy I was earlier this month and I'm sure you all are.

Congrats to the recent CCs. Hope you all get included on this round of interview scheduling.

And lastly, good luck to everyone whether you are waiting for CC, Interview Scheduling, or actual Interview day :)

Our interview went well yesterday. I attended with my husband and they asked him just a few basic questions in the interview part: How, when, and where did you meet? What language did you speak to

So your embassy is Mumbai why were you listed as New Delhi.... And did you got the interview date or not??? I believe Mumbai is getting scheduled

Not sure... I've said Mumbai previously but it was entered incorrectly in the spreadsheet. Didn't get a chance to call them yet... will call NVC shortly...

I am so confused reading the post in reference to status update such as "in transit"...is it possible to see status of case at NVC. If so how?

Yes! try the link below. They are not always updated to the minute but it helps, especially after your case is completed and ready to be sent to embassy and so forth...

yes, that is what I understood from your question. You can check the CEAC link but it will say "at NVC" until they ship it out to your embassy (whenever that happens).

Hope you get an interview date soon.
