Immigrant Visa Appointment email

[Tesco 71]

I have a rescheduled interview for January 16th. I remember last time, that an email appointment confirmation was sent early in the morning to me 14 days before the interview that I had then subsequently cancelled. I have the appointment confirmed via the appointment scheduling website, (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/users/sign_in) along with the courier confirmation page, but no email yet. I know that the email is needed, along with the courier confirmation for the interview and to be allowed access to the Embassy.

Has anyone experienced delays with getting their email from: lndivsubmissions@state.gov, that confirms the date and time of the interview and also contains all the steps to complete?

With New Year, I maybe jumping the gun and need to wait a day or two, but it would be nice to be in receipt of that email.

Could be just a delay due to the recent holidays.  I would give it a day or two, and start inquiring after January 6.

 

Good Luck!

I think from what I remember the emails came through relatively quickly when I scheduled my appointment but I would give it a day or two like @Dashinka said and then look into it if you haven't received it

I actually scheduled the appointment about 4 weeks ago, so I decided to drop the embassy an email via the navigator system this morning. I think it’s impossible to call them, so an email Is the only option. I have the medical next week so would like to get a email reply soon.

Yeah I don't think you can actually call them (I think it might say that on one of the letters from the Embassy but I can't remember to be sure) but I did send them an email before when I had a query once and the response time quoted was within 5 working days but the response I did get seemed to be more of an automated response to my query

The only number that I found was from the AIS site. It was mainly aimed at NIV, although I was able to talk with someone, (in the U.S. I think). After explaining my situation, they sent me the confirmation email from the Visa Appointment Service website, (already had that)! The lady said then to email technical support, which I did. Untimely, I have a a genuine appointment. 

 

Hopefully I will get a reply from someone soon and before my interview appointment. I still want to attend, even if they don't send me the email from the Immigrant Visa Unit. After some setbacks, things were all turning around nicely, all to be stumped, (temporarily I hope) by the lack of email! 

 

Just not sure where: lndivsubmissions@state.gov is initiated. Is it a part of the appointment website, that should automatically send out a set number of days prior to your interview. Or is it manually initiated in the U.K. by the Immigrant Visa Unit.

I'm not sure to be honest but I'm glad you have made some progress with it and that they sent the email to you though!

I received back what seemed to be a rather generic email from the U.S. Embassy London, mainly answering questions that I had not asked. What their reply did say however was to bring the available documents I have to my appointment. I've printed their response and also my initial email and will show security if asked, but I do have the single page showing my appointment date and courier information. The appointment date has been confirmed, so not receiving an actual email/letter from the embassy doesn't mean I don't have an appointment. 

 

Visa Medicals only wanted my case number/visa category and asked if I had an embassy appointment, they did not want to know when that actual day was. They had all my details anyway and I noticed DS-260 data was on form DS-7794 that I received at the end of the medical appointment at check out.
