No IV appointment letter today too...

[LotofPatience 65]

Just a quick update...

I am keeping a watch on the mailbox, nothing yet. I will be out of town for the weekend, so I hope that today or Saturday the appointment letter will arrive. I will find out on Sunday when I return, and post to let you guys know. I called NVC this morning, and my AVR has changed to the message indicating that they forwarded everything to Lima. Whew!!!!!!!! What a relief!!!!! Know I have to track all our supporting documents that I mailed to my wife on the June 6th. As of this morning in had not cleared customs. I should have bit the bullet and sent it DHL, but I opted for the less expensive USPS. Who knows, it could have taken just as long. But once that package has arrived I will be much less stressed. The rest of this process is out of my hands. HELP US LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Arequipa4us!

We had an email confirmation from consulate stating appointment letter is not needed for the interview, if we don't receive it before the interview. General monthly appointment list and VFS letter is more than enough with all the forms in Packet 4 downloaded from consulate site

Based on the tracking at DHL, our paperwork seems to have gotten to Delhi today (10:27pm Saturday night there - 6/14/08) ...

I haven't received (nor has my wife) the interview letter yet ... but it was supposedly mailed out by the NVC on 6/10 ... Fingers crossed it comes SOON!

Hyd and Rajee, Congratulations on reaching your originals safe

Forget about the IV appointment letter. Mine was mailed out on 05/28/2008 by NVC and not yet reached until today. But as per consulate and VFS, it is not a mandatory item, if we have VFS letter and consulate's monthly appointment list print out.

My wife's all medical vaccinations are completed by her parents. Now it is Chennai Medical team's turn

I got the interview letter for Neetu today!

It has a link that it tells you to go to in order to see what the procedure is, but it also has some other pages. It has a list of possible vaccinations you may need to get (already found by most of us on the website(s)) and also a list of documents needed for the interview (which are already sent by us to NVC). It says if copies were provided, then you have to produce the originals for the interview.

There's also a list of potential necessary documents and it says "yes" if they got it. So, I looked at all of docs in the list - they either say "not required" or "yes, received/completed" (or something like that - I'm typing this without the letter in front of me).

So it's pretty straightforward but Neetu will call the VFS to make sure nothing else is needed other than the courier fees.

That's great and Congrats Rajee So, you are all set !

LOTO congrats on the completion of MRS LOTOs vaccinations! good luck to her for the medical in chennai!

RAJEE congrats on receiving ur letter today!

i did not get anyting today maybe next week i hope...

we r rollin!!

[rajee 1]

Loto - Thanks for the congrats It does look like we're in the home stretch - time will fly now ... I hope ... I think your letter must be lost in the mail or misdirected somehow - I don't think NVC botched it up, but who knows since your timeline says it was sent over 2 weeks ago ... Mine made it in 5 days ... You can tell Mrs. Loto that she could (if she's close by enough) go to the embassy and have them print off a copy of the letter for her, also ... That's what I and Neetu heard from a panel doc in Delhi ... But I've scanned the letter I got for Neetu already, and I expect her to have her copy within the next 3 business days or so (I hope).

Hyd - Keep an eye out, I'm sure your letter is around the corner ... it's pretty smooth sailing from here ... I will keep things updated as to what Neetu hears in her conversation(s) with VFS/Embassy as to what else is expected from us other than courier fees.

BEST OF LUCK!
