Don't fear the phone!

[nhutchings 17]

Greetings! I just wanted to tell you not to fear the phone!

My fiancée and I had been waiting for almost a month since when DHL had delivered the visa packet the Embassy in Armenia and they still hadn't contacted her to schedule an interview. Both the Embassy's website and the usvisa-info.com website instructs applicants to wait patiently until they are invited to interview and we had been patient, but we finally called today to inquire about the status of her application. In speaking as pleasantly as possible with the person at the Embassy, he said he couldn't tell us anything and that we would just have to send an e-mail, but he did take down our names and the case number. We sent an e-mail five minutes later (as he said) and sure enough, my fiancée got an invitation to interview within half an hour. Perhaps it's a coincidence in our case, but still, my advice to all waiting in similar situations is to not be afraid to pick up the phone and follow up on your fiancée's application.

Good luck!

Interesting, in my case I have to schedule the interview myself. I guess its easier as an Iranian applicant.
