Hey guys

My husband got a call at home while he was out, from 1-603-334-9400. So he googled it and it had previous visa posts with that number about rescheduling interviews or AP processing?

When you call back the number, it says it's a non-working number for the US department?

We both called NVC and they said it was really odd but nothing has changed for my interview, etc.

Has anyone had experience with this? Should I call the embassy?

It has me a little worried.

Call NVC and let them know you received a call but, missed it. They can provide any information on whether or not the interview was rescheduled. Consequently, you can also call the embassy to see if your interview date is still the same.

I did exactly that, they confirmed everything was still ok for the interview and there was no note on the file and I did the same with Montreal, they confirmed the date and time.

I just found it weird to get a call like that and it said NVC on the caller ID?

That is really strange. Maybe it was a mis-dial and they intended on calling someone else?

Hey it happened to me and it looks like it only happens to Canadian applicants. Its just a courtesy call to go over the documents you need to bring to the interview!

I had missed the call too, was freaking the hell out, called NVC and could see that a call was placed but couldn't tell why. In the end, that person called back the next day to tell us what doc to bring and to tell the petitioner to send me original of I-864

Oh my God, thank you so much for telling me this! I was so scared!

Is it basically just to review what it says on my packet 4? I got 2 items they wanted a bit more info on when I got my CC confirmation - so I have those with me as well.

Seriously, you just eased my little worried mind so much now! ha ha
