Finally got interview!!

[Meg&Andrew 297]

I am just worried because they never reply to my emails. They even haven't sent me email about packet 3, i just went ahead and send them my packet 3, although NVC case status has been updated after i sent them my packet 3.

Oh wow. Yes, I sent every bit of 20 emails and I never got a response. It's very frustrating. That's good they updated it after you sent packet 3. That means they did receive it.

Yes, it was a lot. Anyways, thankfully things have gone very smooth since my fiances interview and we haven't had to email them. We were put in AP today, so hoping it doesn't last too long, and we get it issued soon.

You have to click on the link written on the instruction page for the police clearance(packet 3) to arrange the appointment. No need to email the embassy, you have to arrange the appointment online by the link and select your preferred date and time for the appointment. The website has a calendar for you to choose on date and time depending on the availability of the Consulate.
