Anyone able to book their interview yet? Our case status is "At NVC". Is it safe to schedule interview for mid-September?

Hi! This might be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyways: I emailed NVC yesterday (August 8 NOA2) and they replied saying they recently received our case, but the case number isn't available yet. I'm assuming it takes a few days to input our info before creating a case number? Correct me if I'm wrong! The reply seemed generic... It said "We will send NVC processing instructions within 8 weeks"

It depends on your embassy. Some allow it, some don't. Mine (Stockholm) does NOT allow that before you've received P3 with instructions.

Yes that's correct. You wait a few days before the case number is created

So US Travel Docs allowed us to schedule the interview I’m assuming that’s different from the embassy

No, US Travel Docs is connected to the embassy. You might be able to book on the website easily, but if your embassy doesn't allow early bookings they will cancel it and you will have to pay the fee again I think. You should check your embassy's policy on this before doing anything as you don't want to waste money.

Where did you find that out about your embassy?

May I ask which email from the NVC you've used?:)

I made an account on ustraveldocs.com. Out of curiosity I tried to go as far as possible in the steps of scheduling my interview. Got the question if I had received P3, clicked "No" and was told I couldn't proceed.

Thanks for the respons! I just checked the website you were talking about but unfortunately there is no option for The Netherlands to click on

I saw that, strange! Maybe the Netherlands uses a different system. I know @Little_Vixen is also from The Netherlands, so maybe she can help you here.
