Interview cancellation email but we never scheduled an interview

[delawhere 70]

Hello all, 

This morning we received an interview cancellation email from the NVC, We are very confused because a, we never had an interview scheduled with the NVC, and b, our expedite request was approved yesterday so we will not even be going through the NVC for an interview date. 

Additionally, we were DQ by the NVC prior to receiving our expedite request and had submitted all of our forms/had them accepted. Now the CEAC site lists our AOS as incomplete. 

Has anyone else had this happen? Should we contact the NVC or our embassy (Great Britain)? 

Thanks so much!

If your expedite was approved yesterday and you got a cancellation today ...could it be they are related?

Exactly.........the interview will now be scheduled directly with or by the consulate instead of NVC.  I would contact the consulate if I were the OP.

I am not sure. The status tracker still has our application at the NVC. This is what the email said: 

 

We previously notified you of the date and time of your immigrant visa interview at the U.S.Embassy/Consulate General in LONDON, GRBR.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to cancel this interview. We will schedule a new interview appointment as soon as possible and notify you of the date and time. There is no need for you to take action at this time.

I had this too. Was very weird. The next day the Embassy in London received. 

 

I reconciled this as having to do that step in order to forward my documents to the embassy.

 

I just booked my interview they have dates for w/c July 20. 

 

Edit - my case was expedited after being DQ too.

Make sure you contact the Embassy once your case changes to "ready". 

 

You have to book the interview yourself. 

 

It's weird. 

 

If you read the thread on the UK forum, you'll see more details.

I had this email the day before the London Embassy received my documents from NVC.

Oh wow, that's excellent news! I can't believe they have dates open for this month, I surely thought that we would be into end of August/September by the time we were able to book. Congrats on getting your interview date - I've seen you on the UK forum before and I know this has been a long time coming for you! I saw on your timeline that you listed your NVC left date. Was this the date that you received your expedite approval or was this the day that your status showed as in transit/ready? Were you able to get your medical booked between now and then or will you be attending that after your interview? 

Cheers for the response, you made my day!

Thanks. Happy to spread good news! I was scratching my head over that cancelled appointment email. 

 

There were quite a few date available, I snagged the first one, which was 9.30 on the 20th. 

 

My “left NVC” date on my timeline was the day they agreed to expedite, maybe that was premature, I don’t know. It showed “in transit” for about a day before it changed to “ready”. 

 

I got my medical done ten days ago. I was in New York for three months prior, so I had to self isolate in a hotel not far from Visa Medicals. They are pretty efficient there, but they should be for 350GBP! 

 

Can’t stress enough, once your case reaches London, reach out to them using the contact us bit on their website, stating that your case is expedite, its been sent to London, and they have it. I feel as though I sped things up for myself there by a few days. You will have to make the appointment yourself, I imagine the same way that K1 does it. It’s not rocket science, but if you need any help send me a direct message.
