Exceptionally long wait for an interview? Who do i contact?

[watkinson.m.a 0]

Hi again All,

It has been 8 weeks since I send in my notice that I was ready for an interview and I have heard nothing back at all from the embassy, should I be worried? Whats the best way to contact them for an update: I called there £1.20/min info line once before and was charged a small fortune and didnt even get to speak to a real person so i dont fancy that again, Ive already emailed them at both londonpassports@state.gov and SCSLondon@state.gov. What else can i do? The wedding is now 15 weeks away and Im getting nervous about having my interview in time!

Sincerely,

Mark

I'm in the same boat, except our wedding is only 8 weeks away. I can't get any info from DOS other than that we're "in the system", and my fiance hasn't had any mail through from the Embassy at all on his end. All my emails have been bounced back saying they don't accept email enquiries! If you find anything out, please let me know as I'm in panic mode at this point, too.

Seems like a lot of people are having a LOooooooOOOoooOOoOoong wait to get an interview through London the past few weeks. Sorry. You're not alone, at least...

Whats this about DOS? How do we find out about that? Sorry to hear you're date is closer than ours, I wish you the best of luck in getting your interview in time.

There is a number you can call from the States - 202-663-1225, Opt 1, Opt 0 - that is the Dept of State visa hotline. You give them your case number and they look it up and tell you what they see. Unfortunately, they don't usually have much info. It sounds like you called the premium number first - did they give you an email access code? I just got mine and emailed yesterday, so I have no idea if they'll be able to tell me anything more via email or not, but at this point I'm willing to try anything.
