Consular letter from Abu Dhabi Embassy

[inyangilzee 1]

Good day,

My k1 visa has been approved by USCIS last July 19 and got the NVC case number Aug7 and its already on ready status.

I have filled up ds160 and paid for the visa fee. My interview is on Sept18 but I did not receive a consular letter with the panel list of physician etc. The only letter I got was the instruction page after ds160. Does anyone here experienced the same? Pls help me on how did you resolve this.

Appreciate your help.

just need one thing clarified . you got your

- USCIS approval

- Letter from NVC confirming reception and telling you case will be forwarded to embassy.

Now did you get an email from the embassy before scheduling an interview ?

[inyangilzee 1]

Hi, no I did not get an email before scheduling. I was in the impression that it will be sent after I scheduled everything and since my case is on Ready Status and says can be scheduled.

[TheCoder 7]

The NVC letter should state the case has been received from USCIS and will be forwarded to the US embassy in Abu Dhabi.

one your case file is delivered, the US embassy will either email you or your fiance an instructions page and panel physicians page.

i don't see scheduling an interview as the problem. you can keep the appointment , question is

will you get the mail in time for you to be able to prepare the paperwork required and schedule /have physical exam and get the results in time for your Sept 18th appointment?

I had the interview on 31 July and they didn't ask for it, neither did they at the medical centre (Mideast in Deira), I just had to tell them that my interview is scheduled for so and so date I need to take the test (they would ask you for the interview appointment but not the letter, reason being the test must be taken 2 days or a week before the interview so the results are current).
