missDKmrUSA are you relying on the CEAC status to tell you your interview is ready? Although it's useful to know that your case has left NVC, CEAC is not updated with the latest info and uses a lot of stock phrases that aren't correct for K-1 files.

Did you track your package on DHL? Have you been in contact with the embassy?

For example, my package left NVC on June 5th. DHL tracking says it's just now leaving Cincinnati sorting hub and should reach Europe tomorrow (7th), but I'm sure it won't be at the Finnish embassy until Monday, possibly even Tuesday. And yet my CEAC status now says "ready" and interview scheduled, which is just boilerplate language for "it's out of our hands now!"

If your case left on the 4th, it probably isn't at the embassy yet because it takes a couple days. It's a half a world away! biggrin.png

I am guessing this is yours: http://www.dhl-usa.com/content/us/en/express/tracking.shtml?AWB=7555324490& Of course there's no way to be sure, but if NVC told you it left on the 4th, then that seems likely. There was also a packet for Sweden that left on the 5th, so that one could be yours too.

Thank you so much! This makes me relax a bit.. there is a big possibility that its ours... Our case was in transit on Monday and Tuesday... and then it changed to Ready.. so I believe our case was sent around 4/5th of June...

You too buddy. Sorry I stepped in front of you sad.png

If you didn't have a baby waiting for you, I might be irritated... but your child needs you, so no worries! :)

Finally heard back from NVC research, they told me what I already know, that it's not there yet... The email was also sent to my congressman's office as well, and they contacted me and they are looking into it as well.

so hopefully something will happen soon.

What really chaps me is that I could tell there was something wrong a month ago, just no one would listen to me and told me to wait, while if they had taken some kind of action back then, instead of sitting on their hands, it could have already been fixed by now.
