You didn;t state you wanted a green card the check box I was referring to is "Do you want a SS card mailed to you".

You only can pay online on the ELIS system. There's no paying at embassy for your visa category. You went through NVC and paid everything.

https://public-prod-elis2.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/app/app/iv/#!/

The Visa is just to enter the US. Once entered it's voided and not needed. Once you make it through POE with your 551 stamp in Passport like I mentioned you are a LPR (Legal Permanent Resident).

You could turn around that same hour and board a plane and go back to your country for 6 months.

No you are not adjusting any status. You will be a LPR upon entry.

I meant stated it in the i-130 that i want an greencard sorry for the confusion

April 17 2015 send I-130

April 22 2015 recieved I-130 vermont

april 28 2015 noa 1 in the mail

So the Checklist i got today.

Is that also my CC letter as i don´t need to sent more to NVC but bring it to Embassy ?

Hope they soon will get to Sweden, so i can get my date.

The NVC will send your case to the processing U.S. Embassy or Consulate General. Please make sure
that the documents you take to your interview are in the correct order and stapled together, as stated in
the I-864 Important Notice instructions.

So NVC don´t do dates for Sweden ?

No we didn't, more than one rep at NVC said the next thing will be an interview letter. I see people here talk about CC letters but NVC didn't mention anything about it. The interview info will come, waiting sucks but the excitement is kinda fun knowing we have something special coming up.

We will definitely meet up if the interview date is the same!! I love Montreal, really fun city.

I just called for the fun of it, and the rep thought that Montreal may already be full for March, but she couldn't confirm it. I don't think she knew what she was talking about. She gave the same kind of answers like everything is backed up and blah, blah, but it is good you are in Montreal as they are one of the better embassies. Anyway, let me know if you guys hear any different.

Yes that "non-intrusive checklist" is your CC letter.

Dates.. STK sends the slots to NVC and in turn NVC assigns the slots to cases in a FIFO fashion.

That is a true statement my friend.

I believe here is what i am getting out of some NVC people... Not all embassy or consulate send dates to NVC some of them just get forwarded case id's and based on first available date for that visa class embassy assign the date to case and then let NVC know about date and then NVC sends that appointment letter to applicants. Now i know this theory is right because just go and look the dates for New Delhi, India they are assigned very un-evenly there is not any pattern except that dates can be assigned as as quickly as 3 days to 1 month in most cases. So very well it could be that NVC only schedule cases for embassies who they receive date but some embassy just send them the schedule file and NVC send out notices once they receive it.

So i hope i will be one of the lucky one may be and get a date may be very soon. I am thinking based on how New Delhi move it should be in next 10 days.

I hope they aren't full for March already, they have to have at least 3 spots left for all of us! :)

If I don't get a letter next Tuesday, I will call and see what's up. LOL between the 3 of us we will get some info out of NVC.

I suspect Canada could be the same case like New Delhi see my previous post. I think you guys will also get a date either tomorrow or end of next week. Now whether it will be March or first week of April that is debatable....

But how they word the letter it sounds like they ask STK for it and not that STK sends them a list.

I really do not know what to think about the slots, if the post sends a batch of them and NVC allocates them FIFO to cases or NVC requests slots as needed. I do not believe the later is the rule because it creates unnecessary chatter between the posts and NVC.

It makes more sense that NVC receives an X amount of slots from each post one or twice a month.

The only thing for certain is that NVC do not send the cases to the posts until they have interview dates assigned.

So very well it could be that NVC only schedule cases for embassies who they receive date but some embassy just send them the schedule file and NVC send out notices once they receive it.

So i hope i will be one of the lucky one may be and get a date may be very soon. I am thinking based on how New Delhi move it should be in next 10 days.

You know what, now that I read this post again you probably right. Some countries like Colombia normally get two batches of Interview dates per month. Some others like India are spread all over the month.
