December Filers

[DiZZyLoX 114]

I feel like I'm missing some NOA2s. Anybody not highlighted up there that should be? Christine?

[rallybug 17]

Hmm, rock/hard place - do I book my medical now (I have my LND case number and my police certificate) or do I wait for some sort of confirmation that the case has arrived safely at the embassy..

Book now and it's one more step completed, but if the case file hasn't arrived, could the medical report getting there first cause confusion...

Decisions, decisions

Benjamin,

Your case may have already left for your Embassy. Have you or Gin called the NVC to check on status? I'm not sure how long it will take DHL (the service Dept of State will use) to get to UK, but ours got to the NVC on the 18th and left NVC on the 28th; it's in Ankara as of May 2nd! So, here I thought K can 'take his time" to get back to Adana. Then, I found out from our Embassy they have very few interviews so they're granting them within 20-30 days! LOL can you say stress Mari out? So for the just in case, we have the NVC fone # on the Thread Map Index (which would be really kewl if you could hot link that again btw lol ).

EDIT: I forgot to say then you book your Medical if the Embassy has it! (you'll need your ID)

I just called the embassy premium rate number and they hadn't received it, but following someone else's guide for tracking DHL, it maybe being delivered today (naturally, the UK had two holidays this weekend (friday for the wedding and monday for a normal holiday) so that probably delayed it a little.

I'll contact them again in a couple of days. did NVC tell you that it had arrived at the embassy, or the embassy itself?

This confirmation was in my Email.

Was that email from the NVC? Gin didn't get an email after the one from USCIS saying that the petition was approved.

Hey Decemberites, I have a question. I'm pretty sure it's been answered before, but I cannot find it (sorry)... When I call VSC, I can't figure out how to get a real live person. I can check the status of my application, but it's the same info as when I log into my account online. I want to talk to a real person haha! Thanks for any help, and congrats on all the NOA2s!!

No, it's the confirmation number from DHL. USCIS is finished with us now once the NOA2 is completed (temporarily anyway till we file AOS). Ben have Gin call the NVC and she can find out if your file even left for London (or UK somewhere). You can then start guesstimating the arrival at Embassy ... what do you think about 5 days to get there?

Apparently it left on the 27th - I've tracked one thing on DHL which was delivered this afternoon, but we don't have a real DHL tracking number or anything to confirm that it's my package

Figured it out myself lol! When you call the VSC number, press 2 for checking case status, then 6 to speak with a customer rep.

OK now let's assume that is your case. Go now to the http://london.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visas/interview.html ( that's London, and I'm not sure if that is the one you are going to). Anyway, on their official website, there is a page of "Scheduled Interviews" .............. Now look for your ID# and K1. That's the date of your Interview!

See?

Nope

[Mariye & Ky 172]

Nope

LOL what do you mean "Nope" ........ does your embassy have a page just for schedule interviews? Some may not, I don't know.

OK check out Ankara and look for something like this:

First, this page: http://turkey.usembassy.gov/interview_schedule.html

then, this page: http://www.usemb-ankara.org.tr/consular/english/schedule_iv.html

They say at the Embassy level it takes 2 -3 days to put your file in their system. I don't know if that is true or not.

Try your embassy now and see if they have a schedule for interviews. They must! How else does everyone look up their scheduled time?
