Interview Date Set But No Package Sent

[Applesforme123 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure how many of you are in the same situation as we are, but here it is. We received the letter stating that the NVC approved our 1-129 F petition and that my fiance would soon receive a packet with instructions from the consular section on how to apply for the K1 visa and indicate which documents we will need.

Well, for about a month and a half we waited, and waited, and to this day, have received nothing. I called the information number and the person I spoke to was able to pull up our information, but he said there was no interview date chosen for our case and that we would have to wait another 4-6 weeks. However, they just posted the October interview appointments this morning, and my fiance's new case number was found through the search box for this Tuesday, October 2, 2012! I booked my ticket and plan on being there, but are we going to run into issues because the packet was never received? What does this mean for the medical exam? I've read that the medical exam needs to be complete before the interview, the problem is, I just found out the interview date TODAY because they posted the new October list just this morning.

If anyone has any suggestions or has been through this same situation, PLEASE HELP!!

I want to make sure I do everything on my part before I leave to be with my fiance for the interview. Any suggestions or advice, please!!!

Here is some info on the instructions:

Because the results of the medical examination can take several days, they recommend that you go to Consultorios de Visa at least five (5) working days before you go to the Consular Section for your visa interview.

Sorry for the late response. So what happened? Did you attend your interview or was it rescheduled? I'm assuming rescheduled since you didn't receive your Packet or get the Medical done.

Hi everyone! I am so sorry for not responding to your posts! The night I wrote that first post, I had 101 different emotions going on all at once and had no idea what to do! It all happened on a Saturday and no one was able to answer any questions for me - my lawyer, the customer service number that you have to pay for, even my family. It was terrible... everyone who I talked to had different answers, some said go, some said it was a scam for money, just terrible!

But I prayed about it, followed my heart, and hopped on a plane the very next morning. Sure enough we had the interview just two days after and had only 1 day to recover any missing documents he needed (which we were supposed to find out in a letter what exactly those items were) But we managed... it was a very stressful trip and this is what we were told. Good we came to the interview, because packages get lost in the mail all the time (like - no biggie whatsoever)

Everything looked good, had the papers we needed and the money for every fee they asked for - - We were basically "approved", however, pending the results of his medical exam. They never sent us the package with the paper work that he needed to get filled out, so the day of our interview, we submitted every document we had, pictures and everything, and were asked the most uncomfortable questions just to see if we were legit.

And then that's when we were told, he will get his papers back in the next couple weeks and then he can fly out. The word "approved" was never said, but implied. We dropped off all the remaining medical papers/results on the 22nd of October. My fiance was told the package will arrive anywhere between 3 days and 4 weeks. Well, we charted the dates. Haven't heard anything yet and praying it comes before Thanksgiving. November 19th is exactly 4 weeks, so we're just hoping, wishing and praying that everything comes soon! Missing each other so much and can't wait for our lives to officially begin together!

Thank you for your concern and if anyone has any more advice or has heard of a situation similar to ours, please let us know the outcome. Until my fiance has his papers and is here in the US, I'll still be in doubt about the whole process... Please keep us in your prayers!
