What to Make of This

[Dave Knapp 47]

Good Afternoon Sports Fans.  Aiza, my wife, received this email about 30 minutes ago. Is this the "Welcome Letter?"  We haven't been able to ungarble the mess.  What should we do?

Thanks in advance.

Probably get in touch with them to ask them to resend it. Looks like the doc is just corrupted in transit.

That looks like your interview letter.  Albeit incomplete and missing the most important detail.  The interview.  If NVC or the Embassy had already scheduled you an interview date it would typically be mentioned in the first sentence after "Congratulations!". Since it is not, and yours is one of those unrequested USEM expedite cases, 'probably' somewhere within  "You should follow all the interview preparation instructions located on the Embassy’s website. Please scan the QR code below for more information." or elsewhere in the e-mail are instructions to go on the https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ as self schedule your interview.  You probably should clarify that with the embassy if it is not clear from the missing part of the e-mail but most likely you can now schedule your interview at your convivence whenever you would like in the next year.

 

The rest is the standard interview letter.  IE, get your physical at Saint Luke's, and get all your documents together for the interview.

That's what I'm thinking, the welcome letter, but no appointment set.  I went on CGI.Federal and tried to schedule her appoint last night.  After filling everything out, it stopped us, stating her Case Number was not on  file, or words to that effect.  If we don't hear anything, I'll go back in a week, and try to schedule again. I was surprised I didn't receive that email.  Is that only the NVC that sends everything to both?

Your Welcome Letter should have the subject: Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation. Your case number (starts with MNL) and invoice number will be there.
