Case Complete to Interview September 2016

[GP&LG 14]

I got my Packet 4 today but no official 'letter' yet. I'll wait a week and if I don't get anything I'll be calling up NVC

Sorry - yes I was referring to my Packet 4 as well that I received today. No official "interview letter" yet.

Called NVC this morning....we still haven't received letter but they were able to tell me my appointment had been scheduled yesterday for 9/27/16 @ 8:45 a.m. Very excited for my husband, we've been waiting for this forever!!!! It does seem like they are taking long to schedule appointment for Ciudad Juarez, NVC closed our case on 7/12/2016...it will be about 2.5 months before our appointment. I guess at the end that doesn't matter any more....just very thankful to God that this is almost over.

yayyy!!! God is good I was waiting too..Glad they started scheduling yesterday

Sorry what is packet 4?

It's basically all the instructions on how to register your interview with the consulate, courier service to get your passport back after interview, what documents to bring, the list of physicians to contact to set up your medical appointment, the vaccinations needed etc.

Then I believe there will be another letter (? sent by snail mail or email - I'm not too sure) that will actually state the date and time of your interview on it.

The P4 email is your interview letter. Click on the attachment that came with that email.

That email will be the last contact from NVC.

p4 and interview letter are different??!

i thought it's the same thing because when i called and asked if i will still be receiving any mail from them they said no. Only the email.

Thanks Mrs. Burgz.

I have read the complete email and attached P4 attachment. Aside from my case number in the subject line of the email, this is a generic email and attachment for all interviews going through this consulate (K1-IR!-CR1).

I cannot see how they (or the consulate) would not send some type of letter stating the date and time of the interview. That would mean every single person would have to call up NVC for their interview date? And what if an error was made with the person on the phone giving you the interview date and time? Surely there must be a letter coming that confirms the date and time of the interview with my name on it!?!?!?! The P4 does not have anything to the effect. Thanks

Congratulations on the interview dates. If you are waiting for the interview date like I am, than hang on. It is coming soon.

Best of lucks to upcoming interviews.

Are you positive that the email you received is the P4? Reason I ask is because the P4 is the same as the interview letter and on the first page it states date and time of interview. It consists of 4 pages...5 if you count the blank page. We received that after confirming on the phone and also in addition to that email my husband received the exact letter in snail mail about 3 weeks after we got the email.

I don't know what you receive but, it doesn't seem like the interview letter. If you can somehow post a screenshot (take out your personal information) so we can better assist you. My email had the interview date and time and other instructions for the interview. Edited August 9, 2016 by MrsBurgz

Thanks BeckyMaria and MrsBurgz,

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do a screen shot! lol

the actual email started like this:

Dear Sir/Madam:

You recently received or will receive your immigrant visa interview appointment and instructions from the National Visa Center. I have attached a copy of Consulate interview packet but wanted to highlight some of the most important items. Please read ALL instructions prior to attending your interview.

If you miss the appointment that has been given to you, please go to https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/iv to select a new appointment date. There may be a significant wait before the next available interview, so please attempt to attend the date already assigned to you.

And then the attachment was 6 pages and the title at the top of the page was " Packet 4 - Instruction Materials" and goes over everything from contacting the consulate, the vaccinations required, the address of the consulate, the list of Canadian doctors to schedule the medical with etc.

No where in the body of the email or the letter attached had my name or my date of interview.....that's why I'm thinking there must be something else coming or perhaps in the actual mail to me

Oh wow, Thats not it, Did you get that from NVC? I click on that link and thats the same website I had to go on to register the interview and for DHL services for the delivery of the passport. Are you using an attorney?

Yes it was from the NVC - although the NVC email it came from was different than the others. It was from CANVCEDP@state.gov

Perhaps different countries have different things and this is the Canadian one? It has EVERYTHING I need to know - including like you said registering for the delivery of the passport - EXCEPT what I would think is the most important thing....my name with the date and time of the interview! lol

No we did not use an attorney....

Anyhow - I will call NVC when I have time to see if I should be expecting anything else.

Thanks for your help!
