April Filers - NVC to Interview

[Mel_and_Daniel 1]

Well, I called the embassy today. I was told that they have not received the petition yet and that I should call back within a couple of weeks. It just seems strange. DHL usually delivers stuff within 2-3days...

Well I finally got sent from NVC today...woo hoo!

I've tried to set an interview appointment already, but apparently that loophole has now been closed and I have to wait until they receive it. I will try again Friday. Congrats to all those who have achieved milestones since my last post and good luck to all of those on the threshold. Have a great week!

For what it's worth, here's a little info.

Approved Aug 20

touched Aug 23

touched Aug 24

touched Aug 28

touched Aug 29

WOW !!!..............SOOOOOO many touches..........haven't seen or heard of so many for anyone else !!

Obviously, I'm hoping to be one of the lucky ones that got mailed out within 8 or 9 days of approval.

All this activity MIGHT mean CSC is getting their act together. Let's hope so..... B)

I had the same thing happen on approval, touched August 6,7,8,9,10. I was hoping it meant it was boxed and sent to NVC...wishful thinking at the time.

Today my optimism turned to more disappointment. Unfortunately, u were correct in your assessment.

Just returned from a 5 day business trip, and was hoping for good news from the NVC. 22 days from approval date, and my file REMAINS in the "Staging Area" !!!

The officer was kind and apologetic, but said he has NO power to help. What a DRAGGGG

Can you actually "set" an interview appointment yourself? I thought the embassy has to schedule it.

For Kyiv you actually set it yourself. You now telephone a callcenter, which costs money, and then they help you make the appointment. A filer more senior than myself told me to call as soon as I have my KEV# and set the appointment. I tried that, but now it appears that the case only makes it into their system when the embassy receives it. So alas I must wait for a couple more days and try again, since this time I pay for my impatience.

I think the embassies at all the different countries have different ways of doing things. Once the consular office at your respective embassy has your petition, gotta follow whatever instructions they give you. At mine, they want me to gather all the required documents, go for the medical exam, then send in the checklist before they will schedule the interview for me.

Very interesting! This way people going through Kiev don't have to wait 2 months for their interview! I assume you can set it as soon as possible. We are going through Moscow, it's been almost two weeks after NVC and still no interview date. Will wait...

Oooooh Congrats Deron!! From the looks of it all, it seems like we should have our visas soon! And since we all filed in April, that makes the whole process for the most of us here about 6 months... which is still not too bad eh? Just hate the waiting for NOA2 part still though.... hehehe

Hey rambaldi!

Thanks for the congrats, one more step in the big game...

And I agree, there is no forgiveness for the NOA2 debacle, but nonetheless 6 months give or take isn't bad. It's very refreshing to think that this is almost over.

When do you find out about your interview date? Hopefully it will be VERY soon.

Take care!

Finally CSC sent our paperwork to NVC and NVC mailed it to London yesterday

No touches, no nothing and we had to phone NVC to find out.

Hopefully things will start to speed up a bit once it gets to London

:yes:

Sorry for being off topic and this is kind of a lame question, but I have a picture in my profile yet it never shows on my posts. I've messed with the settings but I can't figure it out. Any advice?

ooooo I know! There's a spot that I think you have to go to your control panel for and there is an avatar section or something. I can't look it up as I'm at work but I have two different pictures.
