nvc to embassy

[jojo.ejona 1]

hey all,

we got a case complete on march 6, i called twice to confirm, when i saw the aos fee went from paid to n/a

when i called they said they wont send an email until they have an interview..is this true?

how long do you guys think it will be until we get an interview?

[TwoChickies 105]

Yes, that's true. NVC will email you an interview date. I think it can take anywhere from a week to several. It depends on when the consulate schedules their interviews and when your case was completed.

I'd suggest heading over the interview thread and joining them. They are people at the stage you are, waiting for an interview date, and could probably offer you better advice

do they send an email of case complete? would you know?

We got our case complete email 8 days after getting case complete via phone. Interview scheduling depends on your embassy. You may need to wait a few weeks to find out. They'll email you with an interview date.

You should receive two emails.

1. CC email

You should receive it from 0 day (same day the internet shows N/A) to 5 days. It will say they've completed reviewing your case and they are scheduling interview. it might include checklist -- like "bring financial evidence to the interview." or "bring originals" etc or no checklist. it will say "don't make travel arrangements" until visa is issued. If you don't receive the email, don't worry, but you need to call NVC to ask what documents are needed for interview like "bring financial evidence, bring originals, etc". Most importantly, you can check the ceac status on the website of http://ceac.state.gov/ to see if it is in transit or ready. You may check dhl tracking on the dhl website (instructions on first post of interview thread - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/538665-april-2015-interviews/). As for me and my spouse, we got the CC email on the same day it changed on the AOS from PAID to N/A on the website of ceac state gov. it asks me to bring financial evidence and it said "they have completed reviewing the case and are scheduling the interview. Do not submit anything to the NVC. We will ship the case to the embassy/consulate."

2) Interview appointment email (called P4)

It is extremely important (you won't enter US embassy without interview appointment letter or you won't be proceeded for medical examination without it. It contains everything like creating an account to make an appointment for biometrics, embassy information, etc). You will receive an interview appointment email any time depending on the US consulate/US embassy's calendar and available slots. It could be anytime from days to weeks to months. You may have to check the website of US embassy in your country to see how many slots there are. If you like to prepare interview, you can read at travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/interview/prepare.html (copy and paste this url address on your web browser. The information on the travel state (select country where US embassy you will be interviewed at is) could be similar to what will be on interview appointment email).

They should send you a CC email like most of us got CC email (some people never got CC email), but don't worry. Just check website ceac.state.gov frequently until you see "in transit" (https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==)%C2'> By the way, did you ask NVC what documents are needed to be brought to the interview? My CC email asked to bring financial evidence (I-864 form, paystubs, employment letter, W2 and tax transcripts/returns) and said not to make any travel arrangment. If you already filed your recent tax returns (2014), you better bring your new I-864 form along tax returns of 2014, 2013, and 2012. Also you may bring employment letter, paystubs, and W2 if you work currently. Just to be safe.

You will receive the interview email. Prepare for the interview (collecting your documents and bona fide marrage evidence including photos). Good luck!

Our case was complete on the 9th, we called like you when the AOS fee went from paid to NA. We were told that we would just have to wait for the interview letter as only some people receive a case complete email, but she wouldn't say why...

We received our interview date yesterday. I hear it depends on how busy the embassy is, I can't imagine Albania is very busy, so hang in there! The hardest part (nvc cc) is over! Congrats!
