Embassy email?

[katcastillo95 8]

So today i checked the visa status and FINALLY it says my case is ready for an interview!!! YAY!!!

BUUUUUUUT.... I haven't received the email giving me instructions and stuff.

I tried emailing them but it says they will respond in 2-3 days.

Wondering if i'm freaking out for nothing or should i just wait to receive it?

Does it sometimes take a few hours or a day or two to receive the email???

Thanks in advance!!

I didn't track mine like that so I don't know how much if any time there was between "ready" and the email, but I can't imagine that it would be long.

Where exactly are you in the process? Have you done anything that's on the embassy checklist (some people get a head start on medicals etc)?

We have like our papers ready but the medical not yet we were waiting for it to get to the embassy to make the appointment but my fiancé will be calling tomorrow to make the appt for next week or for the following week since he has to go get his blood and X-rays. I've seen the list on the consulate info but just wanna make sure they don't ask us for anything extra. Maybe i'm freaking out for no reason.

I'm guessing it's different from embassy to embassy, I received instructions via email 1 week after the website said "Ready"

Did you make the interview appt before or after receiving instructions?

I think that technically you can set up the interview date with your CEAC number before you get the embassy email, if you want. But like you, I wanted to get the official word before doing that, in case some requirements had changed or something and plus, there is really no real need to play that game in Costa Rica-- it's not a very busy embassy, like some. We got ours with 5 business days' notice, and I'd been watching the site for a few weeks and usually you could get one in two or three days. the only reason for the lag time you see in my timeline is that I wanted to attend the interview and we'd had a bit of a crisis at work and no one was going anywhere until it was cleared up.

I'm guessing you'll get the email soon. I really wish I could remember-- I know we were only 2 days between consulate received (is that "ready?") and the email. The medicals take 2 days, too. They have to go one day and then go back for the results.

I waited until after, just to make sure they had processed my application fully.

That helps! Thank you!

I'm just a bit nervous with everything so just trying to have everything perfect!

I'm going to wait a few days to receive it. At least i know it is at the embassy i was getting worried my package got lost (i've heard that happens) For now i'll be content it isn't lost lol. Yup that is why i'm not stressing much. Yesterday it said the next available appt was this thursday so they will have appt available for next week definitely!! Yupp same here i would make apt for next week but have some stuff at work to clear up before i head out to be at the appt with him! Thanks so much! Helps a lot also knowing we dealt with the same embassy!

At point did everyone provide your fiance's email for the receipt of packet 3 from the consulate? I'm at the NOA 1 stage and even though I've registered on the USCIS website and provided my own email and cell phone number, I have yet to be prompted at any stage to provide my fiance's email. At NVC stage do they tell you to provide your fiance's email address?
