I got a call from NVC?

[dreamwarrior 0]

2 days ago (NYE) I received a call from an international switchboard (I am in Vietnam). It's not from a direct line and it wasn't from a calling card, but from an internationally calling system within a company's switchboard. I've never received this type of call before here. Recently I sent in a response to a Checklist (rfe) from NVC. They wanted the police certificate. I assume that they wanted the translated police certificate which I had forgot to send in the original IV packet. This time I sent that and another original PC, which is my last original. I also sent a copy of the original PC, but no copies of the translation. Does anyone have any clue as to why they would call me? Is it possible that they want MY police certificate? I am a USC filing with my US address but have lived overseas for more than a year, on a tourist visa (non work related). They call was placed at 10PM EST. Is that even possible? I know the NVC phone # is open 7am-12am.

Sounds really fishy... I think NVC communicates via official letter only (so that it reflects in your file) and not via phone calls...and never at 10pm. I'd call them to inquire.

NVC may or may not have called. I would consider it unlikely but since the OP is in Vietnam, 10PM New Years Eve would be morning at NVC.

NVC does not require translations of police certificates that are in the local language where the interview will take place. So unless the PC was in a language other than Vietnamese, no translation was needed. NVC does not require police certificates for US Citizens regardless of circumstances.

To the OP. Just call NVC and ask them if they called.

I called and apparently my case was completed on Dec 21!! Now just to wait for an interview date. I wonder if they called me to schedule an interview? Or perhaps it was just a wrong number. It's just strange because in Vietnam the number showed up as 09090, which means it's from a switchboard from an overseas location. It was 10AM here when they called, which would be 10PM over there, so probably unlikely. Well, we'll see again at 10AM tomorrow.

NVC would email, not call you about assigning an interview date.

well, a call was made, but apparently you did not actually take the call.

Concerned? Call into NVC (again) and ask what's going on.

NVC does make calls from time to time. they called me as well as my ex. if anyone is going through the immigration process and a call comes from any DOS number it is advisable to answer the call. They don't call just to see how your day is going. They may have had some advice to help you in the next stage related to the RFE. At this point nobody will know why they called. They dont call to say case complete.
