Questions about VAC, Medical & Interview requirements

[Gaiden79 16]

Hey all, just hoping for some clarification on document requirements for all the immigration appointments my wife will attend. 

 

For all 3 appointments (Biometrics, Medical & Interview) it lists either an Interview Appointment Notification or Interview Appointment Letter as a document requirement. The US Embassy Manila never notified us of an interview date, we had to self schedule my wife's IR-1 interview once her case status changed to "ready." The only notification I ever received was the NVC telling me that the Manila Embassy had "expedited" our case and everyone in the immigration community told us that meant we had to schedule ourselves. The Embassy never contacted us after that. 

 

My questions are:

1). What would we use for that document requirement then?

2). I'm assuming Interview Appointment Notification/Letter is the same thing? Screenshot of the VAC requirements attached.

3). There is also a requirement of the completed DS-260 on the VAC checklist. Does this mean that in addition to the DS-260 Confirmation we need the entire printout of the filled out form? 

 

Thank you!

When you scheduled your interview appointment on the US Travel Docs website did it not provide you with a confirmation letter to download?

No, this is saying you have to have completed a DS-260 application. You only need to bring the confirmation page with the barcode on it with you.

Yes there is an option to print an Appointment Confirmation, it looks like it includes both the Biometrics and Interview on the same set of 5 pages. 

 

I just didn't want to assume that "Appointment Confirmation" and "Interview Appointment Letter/Notification" are the same thing since the wording alludes to something being "sent" to me versus something I generate myself. So I'm guessing the confirmation on ustraveldocs will suffice? Thanks.

Yes this will be what you need. This is what Jaycel printed and brought to her interview 😊
