Hello you guys :) Praying for all of you having interviews soon <3

So I just spoke to another NVC representative and he was super nice and explained to me that they have EVERYTHING they need from me but they just need someone(a supervisor) to check my case as case complete. He told me not to worry that everything looks great and that it's a quick fix. Hopefully I'll get an interview letter soon! He also said that it was their fault not mine.

You have to call so many times to get an answer! :ranting:

I hope they hurry up and do their checking! :protest:

Well I'm sure glad I called!

The person at the NVC said that they would not schedule the interview until they receive a copy of the marriage certificate. The checklist I received was ambiguous, and my lawyer had said we didn't need to send anything else in, that we could take it to the interview. He also said I didn't need to call, all I needed to do was relax and wait, I'd get an interview letter in about a month.

When I had first called the NVC last week, before I'd gotten the checklist, the guy I spoke to said "you need to send the marriage certificate in, the rest you can bring to the interview." I disregarded him because my lawyer said he was wrong, and because the letter says "we will schedule your case for an interview."

But now with a second NVC employee stating that the marriage certificate needed to be mailed, I forwarded it to my lawyer and explained this and told him to please send right away.

Honestly I'd just send it myself, but because I'm overseas it takes about 3 extra weeks to mail anything.

Gotta admit, I'm a little steamed. Now one extra week has been added to the amount of time I have to live in this country. And, if I'd followed my lawyer's advice, it would have been an extra month at least!

So, to follow up, my lawyer sent the documents. Then he said "please don't call NVC again on your own."

I'm kind of mad at that. If I hadn't called, I'd be sitting in this country for an extra month. So, I'm pretty glad that I called. I honestly wouldn't even mind if it were paired with some kind of an acknowledgment that it was good that I called today, or apology for the mistake.

And, I told him so but I can never tell if I'm out of line when I assert myself. I hope I wasn't but... I mean I wanna get out of here. And his missing this means it's more time until I can get out of here. And that might mean missing out on certain job opportunities, etc.

Oh wow, that wasn't very nice of him to say. It's your case so I believe you have every right to do what you want with it, and that includes calling NVC for updates.

Hi everyone, had my interview in Montreal this morning and was approved! I didn't think I would be so restless the night before, I was mostly nervous if I had all the right documents with me. I was only at the consulate for under 1.5h! Sending much positivity to everyone waiting for their interviews to be scheduled and those waiting on their interview dates. The feeling of getting to this point will be worth the wait. I'm not a very active poster but thank you everyone on VJ for their support thus far! What a wealth of information. :)

I still never got case complete. I got a checklist but they said to bring the documents to the interview. They said "While we will schedule your case for an interview, either your Affidavit of Support was incomplete, some of your supporting documents were missing, or both. This could affect the Consular Officer's ability to make a decision on your case."

Got that message one week ago.

I wonder when I should start checking if I have an interview date?

Hi,

I got a checklist which indirectly means case complete too June 8 and interview letter June 10 which was the formal case complete. I advise you wait for about a week.

Meanwhile they requested for my hubby signed AOS form again on the checklist.I took it along to the interview but they didn't even request for it.

Just take everything requested for. But note they might not ask you for them apart from original birth certificate, marriage cerificate and police report.

I ended up calling them, and they said that they would not schedule the interview without the marriage certificate being mailed to them. I'm pretty upset about it, because my lawyer misread the letter and said we didn't need to do anything. So, when I called I was surprised to hear that they weren't going to be scheduling an interview until documents were sent.

Then my lawyer told me not to call NVC on my own anymore! Which, I mean, if I hadn't... I'd be waiting for who knows how long for an interview letter (he said to wait a month!).
