Well... you can call anytime you'd like. I think TimsDaisy has them on speed dial. I'll have to program them on my phone soon! Doesn't cost to call the DOS line here in the states other than the cost of a long distance call. Hope you hear soon. If you're wondering about timelines, check the link on my signature. It's up-to-date London stats post NOA2.

I think I called 2 weeks after we sent it in (1.5 after they got it) and they had just scheduled it.

Haha, sorry just had to post this... So I just got an e-mail from CRIS telling me that I was approved and a paper copy was sent Thanks, I needed to know that since I just got my interview Too funny...

Pencil us in for 8-14.

YES!!!
JULY 19
We never received our packet 3... They sent it 2 times but Suphee never received the mail so they finally emailed it to us and she took a bus to the Embassy the next day - but they would not accept it so she mailed it when via DHL when she returned home. The embassy updated the interview website about a week later and we were on it. I do not expect to see that packet 4 either... so we will prepare without it.

Best of luck to the rest of the FEB filers!!!

We never got an NOA2.... or a packet 3 for that matter... I got the same letter from the NVC dated May 24 and contacted the EMbassy in Bangkok around MAY 29 and they said that they had already received the packet from the NVC... you might try contacting the embassy now and ask if they have received it yet... the online update (for me) still says my packet is in California...GOOD LUCK!!!

Congrats!!!!


We still haven't received ours...

Hahahah! Too funny. Typical, though.




Congrats!!

We simply called the consulate at my SO's local embassy and they gave us an interview date. They have actual human beings working there as opposed to those jackasses at CSC.

Medical exam 22 May
Interview 13 July. Very fast...

Congrats!!!

No interview date yet, but after the Medical tommrrow we can finally turn in packet 3 and get our interview date.

Just got an e-mail from the consolate. Her interview is scheduled for 24 July. She completed her medical yesterday (13 June). They received ds-230, and ds 2001 etc. before they received the papers from NVC. I was a little worried that we sent those a couple of days too early, but it worked out fine. The consolate e-mailed me saying they received everything and are sending packet 4. She only received packet 3 a day ago. But we sent it out a week ago. I am glad that we sent things back to the consolate early. I was hoping for an interview in July rather than August. Its not over yet, but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks .

Yes we got our info off the website today!

August 3rd for St. Luke's Medical and
August 10th for Manilla Embassy Interview!

Congrats!!!

Hello from Kansas City too!

Moving right along! Nice...

Medical completed. Once the results are sent to the embassy next week, we can get our interview date.

Had our (me and my daughter’s) medical exam last week. Sent the forms on Monday to the Embassy.
Called this morning the Embassy and said that I can schedule the interview any time next week. My first available day was Thursday, so June 21st will be the day of my interview... Unfortunately, my father just died Monday to Tuesday night, so all this is under a great grief and I feel numb and powerless.
Wishing you all good luck with your interviews...

So sorry to hear about your father. Sympathies to you and your family.

So sorry to hear about your loss... My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during such a difficult time.

I suffered a loss as well when I went to Thailand for traditional wedding, as I was on way to hotel, I listened to my voice mail to discover that my sister had passed away. It was hard to try to enjoy such a great event when you loose someone close to you and you are so far away.

Ken

I called the Department of stale line and found out that they sent packet 3 to Neal on Wednesday, so hopefully he'll get it soon and we can speed this interview process along.

My condolences to you.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Ken, I noticed your signature... what happened?!

Good luck to everyone with upcoming interviews! Hope to be seeing some approval posts soon! Any Feb filers from Russia gotten interview dates yet? Late February? Just curious since we are waiting to get to the embassy...

-Milena

My condolences and good luck in your interview.

I may have a few sleepless nights with this interview coming up! Looking at the stats, Feb filers are making progress for sure

Good Luck at the interview!!!

Get some rest too!

I am still sleeping well (for now) mostly because the interview is 2 months away. I'm just stressing on having everything ready for it!

It is so good to hear about other February filers moving on to interviews after living in that black hole known as CSC!

Awesome!! Congrats to you both! Hope you'll get your interview scheduled in a reasonable amount of time!

Also - GOOD LUCK to Ken and Mary! I'm sure all will go well!

Let's not mention Black Holes....

Awww Nagi. No word yet, then?

No, still getting the same run around from the Department of Hate. I will call them a bit later, for what that's worth. 3 more days and it will be a month since our case has been on hold, tied up, tied down, sitting, stagnating, or whatever at NVC.

Department of Hate

Seriously, Nags, SURELY they'll have it sent off soon!

Gotta love that sarcasm, that was funny as hell! Mary does well with prayers, so we'll have her say a few. Just hang in there...

Thanks, Ken !
I was doing some heavy duty ones for your interview tomorrow. I will say more, trust me.
BTW, I called DOH and NVC again, sobbing through the conversation , and as always, it was useless. Just useless. Same rhetoric, same mundane answers.

Any Packet 4's yet???

We should i think, have our interview date (packet 4) on Wednesday. Jakarta is fast at scheduling interviews so we could have an interview by the end of the week or next week.

Ken, good luck with the interview...I will pray for you...Nags you are always in my prayers...and well my interview date is around the corner, so please a word to the big man from you would not hurt either...Good luck Ken...and you said I was moving fast...

sister Nag, never give up ! You're in my prayers. I hhhhhate it when I read about AP/AR everywhere here. 2 people in love just want to be together. It's as simple as that!!

-G

And really, that is all it is.....2 people in love. We have been tried and tested, now lets move on, but noooooooooooooooooo ! NVC wants us to stagnate somemore. My SO told me yesterday , " My dream, let us not cry because it is out of our hands. Maybe it is still not our time yet, so what can we do? We must wait. "
Hmm1, I will pray for you, you can be sure of that!

OK! We had a really easy interview and they took her passport. Tomorrow she will go to the embassy and pick up the passport with a new fiancee visa inside! WHOOOHOOOO!

We had so much evidence they didn't ask many questions. They let me stay with my SO the whole time. They asked her about a few of her trips to the US:

Why were you in the US? Who did you visit? Where did you meet your fiance? Then one little trick question, 'you already have a tourist visa, why are you bothering with this other visa?'

Then they asked me about my job, how many children I have, and when we plan on getting married.

It was really easy and fairly informal considering the officer was on the other side of a glass window. We were in a waiting room and on speakers so the whole room was listening.

I guess we answered the questions correctly cause she will have her visa!!!!!!

Congrats Ken and Good luck!

Just got an SMS from Vita. Her interview is tommrrow, so much for time to prepare

Congrats!!!!

Wow, Congrats to you both, Dan and Vita ! Prayers going out your way.

You guys and your interviews, sheesh, I can't keep up.

Gosh, Ken! CONGRATS again! I'm so happy for you!!!




Holy crap! That's crazy - awesome, but crazy! Well good luck to you tomorrow then!!

WOW! Congrats and good luck! Keep us posted....

Its defiently great, but I would have prefered a bit more lead time. She had just turned in the documents at the embassy when she SMS'd me. So now we got less than 24 hours to get ready for the interview.

HOLY COW! Good luck, she will have that visa in hand tomorrow!

Thank You~~~.
I'm going to prepare stuffs for tomorrow.
I'm still in shock actually.

-Gemvita

CONGRATULATIONS, KEN!!!!! Great news, good luck! Gemvita, good luck at your interview tomorrow, I'll be praying for you, too!
