Hi guys, i got my case complete status on 21st October, called NVC they informed me that yes my case is complete and that they would start scheduling for interviews. I waited 4 business days for my email confirmation or letter to me or my husband in USA but we haven't received any correspondence as of yet. Now im aware of the fact that postal mail to me here in Pakistan will take a couple of weeks maybe but i called in again NVC to confirm my email address, the representative told me that my interview has been set for 9th December and she told me my agent was supposed to get the email. I checked with my agent and she hasn't received any email as of yet. The reason I'm worried is because my husband has to book his tickets to come to Pakistan before my interview in December and we still do not to have a written proof informing us about the status and everything! If anyone of you guys could share how long it approximately takes for the email or letter? Or what steps i should take to get or confirm where my email is or somehow just help me out!
