Seeing you all getting interview email is exciting. I called NVC  this morning and customer rep confirmed they are scheduling interviews and gov shutdown is not affecting this part, your interview letters proves that too.

i am hoping to get mine this week. Fingers crossed.

Finally just got my interview at the Mumbai Consulate for Feb 13th! (CC: Nov 30; PD: Feb 20). Yay! Fingers crossed all goes well. Quick question: I'm in the conditional green card category. I've heard that if you're married 2 years at the time of the interview, they give you an unconditional GC. I'll be married 2 years as of March 6th (a couple of weeks after my interview) - Is there any way they would remove the conditions anyway? 

From what I understand from previous years of research the conditional / unconditional green card is based on the date the visa is issued not the date of interview, they wont give an unconditional green card based on you will be 2 years married after the date visa issued. If your interview date is scheduled for 2 weeks before your 2 year married date, it might be a good idea to call the embassy to ask if you can reschedule your interview date for a day or more after your 2 years married date, so you can get the 10 year green card. Of course, do not mention that as your reason for rescheduling, if they ask just say some other reason.

 

CONGRATS!! To those who finally got interview dates scheduled!

Its based off of the day you activate your green card aka when you enter the USA, not when interviewed or visa issued. There's been cases of peole having interview before 2 years and entering after 2 years and getting the 10 year greencard.

Hey Shan, 

For medical you just call the hospital. In Punjab people go to Mohali Max in Chandigarh to get their medical done, your spouse will need D260 confirmation page and the appointment letter. As for fingerprints I'm not too sure, we hired a laywer to see the entire process through so he will be making our biometrics appointment for us. But from what he told me fingerprints can be done in New Delhi, or the day before the interview at Mumbai. When I find out more I'll send you a dm.
