Thank you @JBMG . I have sent an email at asknvc@state.gov. Yesterday got an email from consulate with date and also NVC agent confirmed the date on phone and said it was scheduled on 07th July. Also I was able to create online profile for courier service and it showed me date as 04th August 9:30 am.

 

And one more thing any idea @JBMG and @chamma for medical appointment did you guys performed vaccination at same place or we have to do it through family doctor?

 

Thanks.

yeah, then you're all set for your interview date. You'll receive your p4 letter soon then.

 

Regarding the medical, if far from you, contact them and ask them if possible to do your medical appointment day before your interview, meanwhile, ask them to send over a list of the required vaccinations.  In France, this is what they often do. So we got the list of vaccinations, took it to our general dr, took a blood test, waiting for blood results, any missing vaccines, the general dr will provide. Then will bring the updated vaccines medical records to the medical.  Where they'll do another blood test to verify that all vaccines are up to date.  

 

Urgently, advise you to schedule your Medical to make sure they have .

I had all my vaccines at the medical centre. I did not have the liberty of getting it done one day early so got it done much earlier.

My status says " Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery." They are sending it from Mumbai to Surat. Anybody from India knows how long it takes them to deliver the passport?

 

 

 

Congratulations dear. Very happy for you

 

If they are using Blue Dart then it should take a day or two at the max.

Review submitted guys:

My interview was scheduled for July 11 (Tuesday) at 8:00 am. I reached the embassy by 7:00 am with my husband. We were asked to wait as the entry for 8:00 am interview will start at 7:30. At 7:30 they asked to form a queue...both Immigration and non immigration. There were 10- 11 people before me. Then they asked all the immigration visa applicants to step out of the existing queue and for another. The next queue looked too short and we were 2nd. They asked us to show our interview letter and passport at the entrance. My husband showed his American passport and the security person allowed him to go with me after tallying his name as petitioner. After the manual security check and the folders being scanned through we were asked to follow the red line on the floor and enter the big hall where further processing would be done. All the applicants were asked to sit in the specific area of the hall. Staff members came and asked us to handover the passport, appointment letter, 2 photos, DS260(the stamped one), birth + marriage certificate (original and one copy), original PCC (they took only one), sealed medical reports. They arranged the documents in order and gave back instructing us not to change the order of documents. At 8:00 they told us to go to window no. 21, where the lady pasted the Token no. on the appointment letter and gave the entire set back and asked to move to the window where our token no. would flash. Before we could see our no. one if the staff members said mam its window 25 for you. A very sweet but sincere girl at the window. She verified all the documents, returned originals, then asked for 2016 tax return. I gave that along with the new i864 with wet signature. She said they already have i864 and need only tax return. She prepared the file with all the required documents and I could see they had everything we sent to USCIS and NVC. She returned the appointment letter and said we have to now wait for interview with CO as the token no. flashes. Gave me the pamphlet about the legal rights and said to go through it as the CO might ask questions about it. It was 8:15 am. There were only TWO dedicated windows for Immigration cases. We were enjoying the conversation between the CO and tourist visa applicants at the other windows. I read the content of the pamphlet and remembered the helpline no 911. At 8:55, our number came at window 23. They call out the number also. At the window there was the African American CO. He greeted us very politely. Asked my husband if he is the petitioner and say 'very cool' after my husband confirmed yes. CO said that he would ask me the questions and my husband can answer when asked to and he can be with me all the time.

The officer made me take the Oath. Then asked below questions:

1. Have you read this pamphlet?
Yes
2. Can you tell me about it?
I told very briefly including the helpline no. He said - ‘fantastic!!’

12. Where does your husband live in US?

Yes.
17. What’s your designation at work?

His last comment - Wow you guys are doing awesome in your jobs! Congratulations!! Your Visa has been APPROVED!

He gave me the yellow paper where it says - Congratulation!! Your immigration Visa has been approved and you can collect it from the Pickup address in 3 to 5 working days. And the white paper with the instruction for payment of $220 for green card before I travel.

No question to my husband, No evidence or supporting documents, No photos, call/chat details asked.

Overall a GREAT experience!! Very helpful staff and once you enter the Embassy one doesn’t feel you are alone. Staffs are really helpful to the people who were on their own. I was overwhelmed to see how they were helping the elderly people. They are doing excellent job! Cheers!!

smooth...congratulations!
