Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I am the beneficiary for this case ___________. About a week ago we got the confirmation from NVC on the phone that our case is complete and is waiting for an Interview date from Montreal embassy.

 

So I am requesting you to please update me with my Interview date as soon as it is available.

 

Thank you.

 

 

I hope this helps to everyone who is waiting for so long. @Enigma992 and some of them from Abu Dhabi are waiting for more than one month. So please try contacting via email directly to your consulate. 

How will you receive your p4 instructions

Thanks Kelly!!  Have you gotten your passport back yet?

I had to miss my interview and postpone to another day (possibly after October) as my Dr recommends I do not fly (interview in Montreal 5+ hr flight) and not go through with medical examination at this time (as I'm expecting and due soon), hence you're way ahead of me! :)

Frist: Good Luck, I wish you the best. Stay calm, you will be alright. Do not worry about not having your husband there; although it is always good for spousal support, it is not mandatory and in your case, I really do not believe it will have a negative impact. :) Second: There are no fees that you pay at the interview. If you get approved and are given the paper that says 'Congratulations you have been approved for your Visa and it will be issued X amount of weeks', then on that paper it will have the green card fee which should be paid prior to entering the US or right afterwards.

Thank you love for all the assistance and valuable info. 

I have 3 hopefully last questions as the countdown started........

First,Do i take my phone with me and they switch it off and keep it at the security check ....or not to take it altogether?:huh:

 

Second,should i take with me the x_ray cd??????or just the closed envelope?(Medical examination results)

 

Third,other than photos ....should i print out whatsapp logs as samples???(what about privacy people) :o

 

Meticulous questions but my OCD took charge already ...3aaaaaaaaa! 

Thank you sonmuch for everything.....I need ur prayers alllllll plzzzzzz

Well, it seems that our Embassy are too busy to answer e-mails from applicants who have not yet been scheduled for an interview...I got an automated e-mail back stating that I will not get an answer if we have yet been scheduled. :wacko:

when I emailed to my consulate, immediately I got an auto response stating that thank you for contacting. It will take upto 10 business days to get a response on your inquiry and after 4 business days, I got my date through email.

Hey! No worries dear :)

 

You can take your mobile, just turn it off before you enter. Be sure not to bring any other electronic device with you and make sure you don't have any sharp objects of any kind (tweezers/nail files... things like that) in your purse.

 

I say bring the X-ray, even though they won't take it. When we handed her the package she opened it and handed Ahmed back his X-ray CD. His X-ray CD was not separate but enclosed with the package. So if yours is separate, bring it anyways... it never hurts. 

 

Yes bring any chat logs you can. It maybe that the CO won't even look at it or even ask, but bring whatever information you have that proves your constant contact with your husband.  Going with too much information is better than not provide enough.

 

God Willing everything will go well. Wish you all the best and truly you are in my duaa. :wub: 

 

If you need anything else you can message me anytime. If you would like a detailed review of my husbands interview last June you can read my review here. http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=21979

I received an email from them. This is what it says:

 

Dear Applicant, 

Thank you for writing to the U.S. Visa Service Desk. 

We understand that you would like to proceed with your visa application process. 

Please be informed that, upon receipt of your petition, the National Visa Center opens an electronic file for your beneficiary and transfers the petition to the consular section. Once the petition is received by the consular section, the consular staff will send a packet and an interview appointment letter to all addresses on record. Please wait patiently. 

 

...Anyway at least I gave it a try, I will wait patiently😀.

Ok so I called NVC and they say I will receive a letter and date was assigned on Friday July 07th. But when I called yesterday they didnt say me that my Interview is scheduled. this is very strange behavior from supervisor. Today call center agent is saying they got the date on friday and I will get a letter.

 

So @JBMG how did you receive interview notification P4 letter through email or through mail at your home address?

Hmmm that's odd but at least they are saying you will receive letter whether it's through email or snail mail so either way with you emailing the embassy the information made its way back to nvc somehow because that's my fear that they will schedule me and nvc will be unaware and I will not receive the p4 letter...
