Excellent. Thank you.

My US Embassy Bogota asks for everything, so basically I am bringing a whole IV package but his time all originals.

They have their own generic P4 posted on their website for all immigrants.

Search your US Embassy in Canada website.

Thanks. I'm definitely bringing all my IV originals. I just don't think I need 864EZ because I did not do EP, and they have the original.

Bring what you have, it is not that much extra weight!!

Better be safe than sorry.

Be aware of bureaucrats, they can turn your day into a nightmare.

Good luck eh!!

And add what ever they asked for on top of what they already have from me.

I would add a fecal sample test if I had to.

Okay NVC Interview scheduling

Just called NVC to see about March date and the nice lady told me that they were all notified yesterday that March calendar is closed. April assignments will be starting in about 2 weeks (end of month).

I must say I have gotten the most informative and nicest people. Like for me I asked when I called yesterday and they lady broke it down to me for my embassy they stopped on CC 2/2. That was very helpful.

So looks like my June filers peeps are leaving me on the dock of the bay. But ya'll know me I am always at the dock launching all of you off to your love ones.

Noooooooooooooooooooo ... :( Maybe ... i will do something like what IonelaC.did :idea:

I just got off the phone with NVC and (pressed opt 4 - confirm the date and time for the interview) the rep said that they are STILL scheduling interviews for March. :dancing: She said it all depends if the Embassy will have openings for interview dates even though they schedule mostly during the beginning of the month and the end of every month. There aren't a lot of applications in the Suva Embassy in Fiji so that gives me some hope that they might have availability in late March! :) Really want a March interview so that we can all be together in the States by the first week of April for our 1st wedding anniversary. -_-
