In the packet 3 letter, it says that if you have waited longer than 4-6 months to contact them 'immediately'. I guess that you are in that window, right? It can't hurt to send them an email again, especially if you nicely say that you started this process nearly a year ago...

Good luck!

DTI - Days between completion at NVC and interview

DCF - Direct Consular Filing - EP - Electronic Processing

Now who will be the first person to call the NVC and see if they have an interview?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Americana and hopefully we'll see interviews for everyone who completed up to Nov (at least)

[lgg 2]

Good luck, Americana!!!!

Weeell...calling the NVC to find out isn't all that productive, as evidenced by Lgg who called in the morning and was told there was nothing, and was emailed her interview date in the afternoon of the same day.

I WILL call on Thursday, as that will be the eight-week mark since my case was completed...but I'm not holding my breath that they'll tell me anything interesting.

Hey thanks guys! I appreciate it.

I emailed montreal a couple of times once I got a response nothing else since. Im thinking it can't be too much longer. But who knows til we actually have it right?

ok...dumb question here.....but I didn't know emailing Montreal was an option....I have called NVC and been told.."nothing yet"....Does it make a difference to email?? If so, could someone forward the email addy to me and an brief outline of what would be appropriate to send?? THANKS!!

I called DOS this am and they said again that we are eligible for and interview but nothing yet, I am still waiting for a repy from Montreal through the email I sent on Monday

[Frequent_Flyer 0]

Yes, good luck Americana!!!

This may be a dumb question but do I call the NVC or DOS to check for interview date status?

[lgg 2]

Hi FF, you call the NVC to check for your interview status, unless of course you are Direct COnsular filing then I believe you can call DOS...

Others will correct me if I'm wrong but NVC is your main vein to interview land.

Good luck...

Yes, good luck Americana!!!

Anyone can get info from DOS or NVC - so feel free to call either.

Kind of shocked that know one on VJ has gotten an interview date for Feb. yet.

I am going to blame my stupidity on the fact that I am sick....but what is DOS???
