For the people who have gotten their Iterviews...

Hey all, I had a couple of questions. Here is my current situation:

As of Oct 4th. NVC sent out the docs to the consulate/embassy. In your experience, how long does it take for the embassy to receive the paper work? What I want to do is go over to line 1 between 4-5pm to talk to them to see if they can do something for us because my wife is in her 7th month of pregnancy. When do you think they will receive the paper work? I have already sent an email to them. Should I call or just go to Line 1 everyday until they receive my paper work? Also I got the papers from the embassy itself which says Packet Four. I basically went to the embassy yesterday and spoke to someone and they hadn't received the paper work as of yet but they gave me this paper work for reference to go by. Should I use this and go get the medical done now? I have already gotten the Police Report done. Anything else I can do to expedite things.

Any suggestions would be great and help me, my wife and our future baby. Thanks.

I takes about a week for the embassy to receive the paper work. In order for you to get the medical done, you need to get the actual appointment letter which has your interview date. Another thing is that you need the police certificate from both the district police station and the regional passport office. You can start gathering the proof of relationship and the updated job verification letter.

You dont really need the letter from the Consulate to get Medical done as long as you got your interview date, just PRINT the PDF for it.

Since you already have the NWD/BMB/MDR Number from NVC, check their website for interview date, here is the link for Delhi(I'm assuming you are from delhi, you can find the links to Visas to US --> Immigrat visa --> Appointments)

http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/appointment_schedule.html

As long as its in Appointments, you can get Medical done, PRINT the PDF, you can always get Local and Passport Police Clearence with out any appointment.

This is my experience from I-130 I did for my parents, they didnt get interview letter, but had the date in Appointment section so they got medical and PC done.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the links. I guess I have to wait till mid Oct to see if mine is in for November...

Hey one more great news. As most of you know, my wife is 7 months pregnant and I am in India trying to expedite things for her VISA so she can have the baby in US. Well, I sent an email over to the embassy this morning explaining things and at 4pm I went to the embassy. When I got there, they knew of my wife being pregnant. I guess they must have read my email from morning. I explained things further to them and after 10 mins of pleasant conversation with them...they assigned me a Nov. 1st date for our interview! kicking.gif I was really trying to get something in Oct, but that is good enough. I am really happy today. yes.gif

My wife got her medical done about 3 weeks ago in Delhi. She was informed by the doctor that she needs to get an appointment letter before she can get the medical done. She hadn't received the appointment letter from Delhi embassy so she had to go and get duplicate appointment letter to get the medical done.

Congrats! Great news. Make sure you are able to add her to your insurance. Some have a wait time when you add a new beneficary (even a spouse) so make sure you check everything out. And get all the Okays from the doctors that travel that late in pregnancy. Some airlines even have restrictions about how late in your pregnancy they'll let you travel (especially on a long flight like Asia to the US).

Congrats on the Nov 1st Interview date! :dance:

Best wishes for having your wife here in USA for the birth of your child.
