Just called the State Department (1-202-663-1225 option 1,0) and was informed that the packet 4 was sent out today, medical is scheduled for August 6th and the interview is scheduled for August 13!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

wow you have your interview sked already, congrats!!! we were approved May 3rd but I cant find our case in the appointment online yet. :crying:

If you have your case number from the NVC...call the State Dept. The lady I spoke to was very nice and (now here's a change of pace!!!) VERY helpful. :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

I found that the appointment link appeared to be offline on the Embassy webpage (404 page not found error). :crying:

All for the price of a long distance call! ( I used my celphone so it was free :lol:)

Interview scheduled!!!!

Congratz, Ken. A week from the interview I can imagine you're busy preparing those documents

We had all the paperwork completed well in advance. She had her medical exam today and we have almost everything we need now. She decided to get a new passport tomorrow, and we think she will have it the same day. Her appointment for the interview is on Tuesday, so I hope she is correct about her passport. :wacko:

I decided to fly down and be with her during the interview. I already have my airline reservations, so pray that her passport will be ready before then!

It sure is nice to see all the progress being made for Feb filers! For me, I know it is not over until it is over but I do have hope we are near the end of this frustrating process.

Thank goodness for VJ!

Well... you can call anytime you'd like. I think TimsDaisy has them on speed dial. :lol: I'll have to program them on my phone soon! Doesn't cost to call the DOS line here in the states other than the cost of a long distance call. Hope you hear soon. If you're wondering about timelines, check the link on my signature. It's up-to-date London stats post NOA2.

YES!!!

JULY 19 :dance: :dance: :dance:

We never received our packet 3... They sent it 2 times but Suphee never received the mail so they finally emailed it to us and she took a bus to the Embassy the next day - but they would not accept it so she mailed it when via DHL when she returned home. The embassy updated the interview website about a week later and we were on it. :) I do not expect to see that packet 4 either... so we will prepare without it.

Best of luck to the rest of the FEB filers!!!

Howzit Bill..

I just saw your thread. Your timeline looks similiar to me. I received a letter from NVC dated 21 May. I still did not get a copy of NOA2. I see you stated you got yours on SAT. Did you also get the an NVC letter prior to getting your NOA2? If so, I am hoping I get mine this week. This past week I had her send Ds-230 and Ds-2001, passport copy and picture to the consulate. We decided to do this prior to receiving packet 3. I've read that some guys have done this before. I've also read, but don't know if its true, that if they receive it by a cut-off date around the middle of the month, they will assign an interview date for the following month. If not, it will be for the month after. So, we are trying to get one for sometime in JULY rather than August.

Aloha

We never got an NOA2.... or a packet 3 for that matter... I got the same letter from the NVC dated May 24 and contacted the EMbassy in Bangkok around MAY 29 and they said that they had already received the packet from the NVC... you might try contacting the embassy now and ask if they have received it yet... the online update (for me) still says my packet is in California...GOOD LUCK!!!

We simply called the consulate at my SO's local embassy and they gave us an interview date. They have actual human beings working there as opposed to those jackasses at CSC. :lol:
