Hello everyone!
I got the interview appointment letter yesterday . When I called the doctors accredited by the us embassy in casablanca morocco for a medical examination appointment , I couldn't find an available appointment date before the interview date at the embassy for the medical examination . I think I have to reschedule the interview date. Did someone experienced the same situation? Can someone please tell me how to reschedule the interview date ?
I am from morocco and the type of visa is CR1 visa.

Thanks

You will pay the fees, your siblings will fill out their DS260s, and then civil and affidavit of support documents will be submitted, and then 8-9 weeks for documents to be reviewed

Yeah, Keep trying until you hear the  one ring first, it will repeat same info, press 1 and wait few sec and press 7, and hold until they received. .And yes you do need to call them, they can reject document for very small reason and that will take your whole lot time. Ask them make sure that you have submitted the right documents. Good luck !!

Hi guys, 
 

ive been following you all for awhile and really appreciate all your insights but I really need a bit of guidance- and a bottle of wine! 

 

I’m uploading all my documents for AOS  and then had a total panic attack! I have been using the app called adobe scan, it’s been working really well, but I noticed after I uploaded quite a lot that the flies could be written on via a tool called “add notes” when you opened the PDF. Nothing crazy (more like a markings with color markers). You can not edit any of the writing on the documents but you can “draw” on them. My concern is will they be rejected because they are somewhat editable? Or do you think they will be ok because the actual words can not be changed? 

 

Alternatively does anyone have a solution of a better way to scan and upload without having an actual scanner?

I think you can really add comments or notes to any PDF. As long as you can't edit the information that's already on the scanned document, that's what NVC cares about. As for alternatives to scanning, I guess you could use your phone's camera, but I personally am more comfortable with the results using a proper scanner. I guess I'm old-school like that. 😀

Call them

 

Best time to call them is 7am.. as soon as they open, it normally take 10 + attempts before being placed on hold for up to an hour, so best the usc call them.. 

Thank you!

 

After 21 attempts I was finally successful

I called NVC on Friday, and it took me 1hr 15 mins to get through. Eventually spoke to a very nice lady who assisted and told me soon, I'll be scheduled for an interview.

 

Also went ahead to speak to someone from from the embassy who took my details and assisted me.

 

Yesterday. 11th of February, 2020, I got a mail from NVC for my scheduled interview for the 04th of March,2020.

 

My issue is, since the ban on Nigeria immigrant will take effect on the 21st of February, 2020, will they also issue the visa?

Am also worried as you, I got DQ February 11. Want to ask how long it took you to get iL after been DQ
