Interview

[Matt&Deb 2]

Hi All. I have a question, it seems that each country is different. We are filing for the London Embassy and we have done packet 3 sent and arrived at the Embassy May 18, had medical on the 3rd of June embassy received the results June 8. Are we suppose to contact the embassy to schedule an interview. I have thought that they send us a letter with the interview date, however some of the blogs I am reading sound like perhaps we need to contact the embassy. Any advise would be helpful. Thank you!!!

Hey get the USC to phone the DOS in the states and they will be able to tell you if your interview date has been set! That is what we did in my case and i found out a week before the letter arrived!
