Hey, is there any way to request and Infopass appointment to get in to the consulate? Or do you have to be a USC for that??? I am keeping fingers and eyes crossed that our cases get complete this week!!!!

Tried to call them, wasted 5 € for no reason

I charged the phone before calling, but as the answering machine was explaining me very very very very very slowly how much was the phone call that she was making an hour long, the line got cut, cuz i ran out of money on the cell, because the money i charged didnt come right away...

Long story short, Ill call them tomorrow morning at 8,30, and ill let you know....

Have faith in me, i want to be there when my second baby will decide to come out of her mother

I called the Embassy this morning, an 8€ phone call just to know that they dont aything about me yet.

Have to wait until NVC tells them something about the case, and then it will be possible to do something...

I understand your frustration; I had to wait more than two months from the time that I filed the DCF until when it was approved, and then another week or so to get the information sent to Naples. I can imagine it's even worse when not being able to file DCF.

With regard to the NPL number that they were talking about, that is the case number that Naples has for the beneficiary once the case has been sent there. If you don't have that, there's no use in calling the consulate as they won't be able to schedule anything. (NPL stands for Naples obviously).

The good news is that once they have the case, they contact you relatively quickly, and if you are able to get the documentation in order in a short period of time, you can call them and schedule an interview within 2-3 weeks.

I have the NPL number, that was generated once the NVC received the file...

Try to imagine waiting since Jan and still having no answer... Thank God my family was here with me until the 14ht of aug, but I wish I was there already to get started...

Anyway, I was actually able to file thru DFC because my wife had the necessary requirements, but never knew there was this chance, until I logged on this forum the first time, and it was aroung june, so useless to file it again as I had to wait another couple of months to be approved...

I hope I'll get this call as soon as possible, even if until Christeen's husband doesn't receive it, I won't of course...

[christeen 966]

Well, the case is complete now!!! So I am going to have my husband e-mail the embassy and see if they can request the file. And we will ask for the earliest date?? We'll see.... Interfc1... Hopefully your login failure is soon and case complete!!!

Hello everyone... got back from Naples last night (we live in Sicily) with my wife's visa in hand. Truly a simple process and you're going to realize that the medical/interview/biometrics in those two days is basically anticlimatic. Extremely kind and friendly staff at the Naples consulate who upon immediately realizing the obvious - that ours is a genuine marriage - were more interested in our 2 year old daughter than anything else. The consul is a nice young woman who literally asked us one question about our marriage and then we chatted for another several minutes. Don't get me wrong, they're not pushovers - they denied several people who obviously weren't telling the truth (including a guy who was dressed as a priest and had been previously arrested in the United States), but the visa was approved for us without problems. Leaving in less than 3 weeks for the US.

If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to contact me directly. Thanks to everyone here for the assistance provided when requested, and I cannot reiterate enough that as long as you are prepared and honest, it's a cakewalk.

Congratulations... This is a great new

I know the consul is a really nice lady because when we went there to register my son as a US citizen born abroad, she wanted to hold him in her arms, and was quite a nice person...

YEAH!!!

[johnholmessc 0]

Yeah, she is. I think she especially liked us because of our response to her only real question about us:

(This is all in Italian but translated for the non-Italian speaking folk on VJ)

"How did you meet?"

"At a New Year's Eve party that neither of us were supposed to attend."

"That's funny, I met my husband in the same way... at a New Year's Eve party and neither of us were supposed to be there."

Anyway, I know it's difficult to do because it's a very important issue but for those people who have everything in order, just relax.

Never been nervous about interviews.. I just wish my wife could come with me to the embassy... It's ok, I'll do it myself

Should I take a couple of pictures with me to the embassy?? I got pics of us together with the twin towers in back of us ...
