As far as I'm concerned, NVC doesn't book appointments for us at the consulates / embassies. I believe that's up to the applicant and you do it through a specific website.

Nope not true you can't schedule your own. Only the DR can NVC schedules all interviews unless you are sent to embassy because of expedite.

How do I expedite the interview date?? Is it possible??

Call NVC and request an expedite. It all depends on your embassy not on NVC. The NVC receives the expedite request and forwards it to the embassy. Your embassy will decide whether your case needs to be expedited or not. The most common reasons are life/death diseases and military deployment.

Thank you. But then, what's this link for? https://ais.usvisa-info.com/

Like I explained earlier some spousal visa folk that go through NVC get to schedule if they were expedited. Some embassies do DCF (where the petitioner filed directly at embassy). Your country NVC will schedule you.

Also this site like ustraveldocs some embassies use it so people can get their passport/visa. It's like our CEAC website for tracking.

There's really no short cuts but waiting and or if you have a legitimate reason to expedite.

**Hopefully I pray all getting case complete will get to schedule themselves.

Ha! The complete opposite of what I was told earlier. Thanks though :)

You second my thoughts. I think I will do as instructed on the site to be on the safe side. One email for both packages with individually identified files. Thanks for your input.

Ok, I have been sooooo sick so didn't get online blah. But my husband had to send in two emails as the size must be below 5mg and the email has a huge chance of not going thru if the file is bigger than that! So that's why :goofy:
