Now I can join the conversation :dance:

The rep said their are definitely no September dates left and that they can't comment on whether we will get an October interview.. which I can understand from their positon - but we should all count on October interviews, right?

Now, don't get me wrong, I am very happy to be in the final stages and happy to have a date. But I feel kinda down about this news, was hoping for earlier.

Congrats you two. :)

No interview date here.. I thought just maybe I would get one today because you two had but no such luck.

The reps repeatedly stated that interviews are not scheduled until the first 2 weeks of the prior month.. even though I kept reminding them they were not being truthful...

Do the e-mails go out when the interview is scheduled or is it still worth calling NVC to find out as soon as possible? Does anyone know if the AVR mentions interview dates or what time of the day the NVC stops scheduling interviews for the day?

I am a bit obsessive, think I might call back. I am somewhat worried I won't get an interview in October because they are already on the 20th.. maybe they only schedule for Thursdays - wish I could figure it out.

We're not far behind- we had an RFE scare over the weekend but should be back on track now. Sent the DS-230 package to NVC on 8/19 so hoping for a CC to happen within the next few business days, fingers crossed!!

Will keep an eye on this thread to see when the interview dates start coming in! :) He has his medical at the end of September, so I'd be excited to get any date from the 2nd week of October and on.

-M

little secret i was told at knightsbridge, get your medical asap, our case is now nearing CC and my hubby has had his medical, they told him the embassy will get the results an log them into comp, then when nvc go to schedule the interview they will see the medicals done an instead of the standard 6-8week wait they give u, ull find they give u an interview withing 2-3 weeks of CC, also we had our case expedited at USCIS, got NVC done quick so didnt need to ask there but will defo be askn for a closer interview due to the reasons case was expedited, so theres ways to get the interview sooner, medical being done before nvc cc is a big one, having a genuine reason to get interview asap is another, good luck to all my fellow brits :D chris

nope, as long as you have your NVC case number thats all u need, as well as other things like police certificate, vaccine records, any hospitalization records, 1 passport photo, your passport, your case number (NVC) an i think thats its, he set his up before we even had any of the bills paid, strangly i think the UK is one of the very few countries that allow you to do this
