Hello friends, 

 

Received IL for my mom.

DQ date : June 20th June

Interview Letter Date: 20th Sept 

Interview Date: 24th Oct

 

Question I have is, My father is inline for interview as well. His DQ date is July 22nd. I was hoping to get his interview with my mom as well but so far no update on his case Do you guys know what can I do to get his interview with my mom? I was under assumption that NVC generally schedules interview of family together but I can understand since my father's DQ date is later (Even though I submitted the same documents for both the parents) Should I call NVC or US Consulate ? Not to mention NVC helpline number is always BUSY. 

 

Another Question regarding my mom's interview. I just received email with date and time. It does not mention anything that I have to create account with ustravel docs. I am asking this because I am not sure if she needs to do biometric before the interview or no. 

 

Thanks in advance,

All biometrics are done before the interview at Mumbai. 

 

Call NVC around 8-9 pm EST - you will get through immediately. 

 

Your parents cases should have been linked and have the same interview date and time  - did you pay one Affidavit of Support fee for both in CEAC? That is the indication that the applications are linked by NVC.

Hi, Thank you for the response. 

 

Yes I paid only one AOS fee for both in CEAC. 

 

Regarding biometric, I don't have to create a profile on ustraveldocs and schedule a separate appointment,right?  Also, do you know how can I request an interview to be taken in regional language? 

[circular 4]

The biometric appointment and account/profile on ustraveldocs need to be separate for each IR-5 applicant (so a separate one for mom and dad). Interview language preferences are part of the questions asked when you set up the account on ustraveldocs.

Thanks for the response. Does NVC nowadays send physical copy of interview letter or just email is suffice ?

 

 

[circular 4]

Only email if you have given one. No physical letters for interview appointments.
