Hi eveyone. I am happy cause my case finally completed yesterday. I called NVC and the computerized voice said case complete, allow 8 weeks for further instructions. Many Thanks for all your help and discussions through which I learned a lot. James shortcut works perfect as till this day. In the next step I will receive an interview call. In how much time should I expect that. Thanks again.

Salaam....hello everybody

My husband's medical is this Thursday 07/17/08 and I was worried that he wasn't going to get his interview letter in time.

Alhumdulilah.........it was delivered yesterday MashAllaah!!!!!!!!!

I just sent him all of our stuff from start to finish from uscis to nvc, so around 10 days from yesterday 07/11/08, he should get all of that....insha allaah.

I told him to just get everything in order the way he would like it done...((he is very particular about stuff)) and just have it ready for the inteview on July 31st!!!!!!!!!

Anywho.........NVC sent out the interview letter on June 11th and he just got his yesterday. So it took around a month for him to get his... (this is just for general FYI for anyone wondering.))

Have great weekend

Thanks Aisha, your information helps alot cause i was wondering how come my wife didnt get her letter as of yet. I also called nvc and they said that i can send her mine and it is the same thing. I have already sent a scanned copy to my wife.

Let me ask you something. Is your husband going to ask the US Embassy to allow him to pick up the passport himself

Ali,

I asked my husband and he said that it is NOT ALLOWED to pick up at US embassy. It has to be collected from AMERICAN EXPRESS and thats it. That is what he told me :yes:

I was wondering........who had interviews for this month? It is hard to keep up with everybody, so just curious about the ones from ISL embassy. Did everything go okay and would like for someone to post with their experiences if you wouldn't care to do that. Especially with what questions were asked and what your SO took with them for the interview. It would really help us that are in waiting.......:)

Thanks so much and I hope everything went well for the ones that had interviews and you will have visa's in hand soon....insha allaah!!!

Best Wishes to all of us with upcoming interviews

also i havent yet received my interview letter (and neither has my automated msg at nvc changed to "case forwarded to isl embassy")..but the receptionist, who made the appointment, said that i could bring any document that had my case number on it..since they only required a written proof...i was wondering whether i should wait for my interview letter and then go for my medical?

hi fkh,

my husbands medical is tomorrow ( july 17th) in Islamabad , ( his interview July 31st) so he was getting everything that is needed for that together. He finally received his interview letter on July 11th and it was sent out on June 11th fron nvc, so it was a month getting it to him from NVC. If you haven't received your interview letter , you could have your better half, scan it and send to you and you could get it printed out. I've heard of others doing that, so it is worth a try.

As soon as my husband lets me know how his medical went and stuff, I will try and post it after I hear from him......insha allaah. Or sometime tomorrow. I know it is his medical, but still will be wide awake till I hear from him ya know.

Wishing everyone the best

Aisha

thanks for the info aisha..but the thing is i talked to an operator this friday and found out that my interview is on aug 7th..so neither I nor my hubby has as yet received the appointment letter...and only three weeks are left...i was reading on VJ that once the automated msg changes to "case forwarded...", it means that the docs have been mailed to all concerned parties...but that hasnt happened with us yet...so i guess i'll talk to an operator abt this..

best of luck with ur husband's medical.

Yes, I would call asap and see what is goin on with your interview letter. I hope you get it soon as well as your husband.....(( I can't believe how slow they can be sending out stuff that we need and how slowwww the mail is as well))

I just sent my husband out everything that I could think of for his interview on Friday July 11th and usually, when I send something to him, it only takes 10 days. So I ask myself,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,why did it take a MONTH for him to receive that interview letter :huh: CRAZY!!!!!!!

Keeping you in our prayers
