Just got off the phone and my wife's interview date is August 28th at 8:30 in the morning. Does anyone know how long it normally takes to get the visa back? Isn't it 5 business days? The following Monday is Labor Day. That means the embassy is closed doesn't it? Ugh...I'm happy for the closure this brings but I'm upset the interview is so darn late....

Oh man, I was hoping you'd get early August! This is a late reply to your earlier post, but I still have not received any e-mail. I called.

Maybe you can try getting an earlier date through the Embassy?

Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

Is that even possible? Did you check if you can be present at the interview? I just read the Poland embassy website and I'm pretty sure my daughter and I can't be there. Ugh. :( I really want to be with my wife on interview day but don't know if I should go and then hope we get the passport back in time to go to the states or let her go by herself and then come at a later date so I don't burn a lot of vacation days (I only have 6.5 days left). I hope that made sense. Any input? I read we can have the visa dropped off at a courier location near the embassy and that that shortens the time we'll have to wait, but it's still 3 business days I think.

your passport is good.

we submitted 1040 & W-2 for 2013 to the NVC. we submitted before April 15th. we didn't submit tax trancript for 2013 to NVC. we took tax trancript for 2013 to interview.

according to your timline you can get tax transcript from IRS website.

Nice :)

Thank u again.

Now I have to wait for 25- 30 days nvc review my package.

Hope nvc stage finishes next month.

If I wanted to be present at the interview it's no problem, but I won't be there. It varies depending on the country. My husband and I were talking and if we're unsuccessful with getting an earlier date, he's going to book a flight to the US that leaves 2 weeks after the interview date.

It should happen along with this batch. From what I observed, only those who get CC after the first week of the month have to wait until the last week of same month to be scheduled with the following scheduling batch.

Hi back!

Our interview is July 1st, and I expect we'd have her passport in hand on either the 7th or the 8th. We are arranging for flights the week of the 14th, but don't have them yet. Our other two Sydney Consulate compatriots for July 1st interviews are traveling on July 16th and 18th.

And NO!!! they have not responded about my attending the interview, and I am starting to panic. We wrote them on June 12th and got an Auto-reply on the 20th. We wrote again on the 23rd and got an auto-reply right away - but no answers. Snikit15 got her permission 4 days after she emailed (and that was after WE emailed), so I'm starting to be very, very paranoid.

If we don't hear anything by Friday, I am going to try to call them - and I'll go through the US Citizen's Services section if I have to. If we don't hear anything from anyone, we are going to bring copies of our emails to them and their auto-replies and fall on the mercy of the guard.

I will be very very angry if they have fobbed us off for some reason.

Hey Sukie,

I just received email confirmation allowing me to attend my husband's interview with him. I made the request on Friday afternoon, received confirmation back Wednesday morning.

That should mean that you got yours as well! You emailed long before me :)

I am going to print off the email to bring just in case; they said they added me to the list but I don't trust them! Haha.

Hope all of your travel arrangements are going well!

Is that how it's generally done when it comes to the petitioner attending the interview? Written approval by email? If so I'll email the embassy in Poland. But I don't what to do that if it's not the norm.

hi everyone,

please help, is anyone out there who have ideas, who experienced or experiencing long waiting for an interview date particularly in the Philippines? i have received a notice from NVC last April 21, 2014 that my case has been sent already to US embassy Manila and will just bring the lacking documents from AOS during the scheduled interview. my husband keeps on calling NVC to follow-up regarding the interview schedule since it's more that 2 months now from the notice, but agents from NVC just kept on telling us to wait, is US Embassy Manila really taking long time to give an interview date? thank you
