I thought the fingerprint is done on the day of the visa interview? Has that changed? My wife is scheduled for her CR1 interview on May 14th. Will the fingerprinting need to be scheduled?

Received an email at 12:01 am informing us of interview on May 14.

We received the interview email last night at 12:01 am. Interview set for May 14

Luck of the draw with operators I think, some are much more inclined to be helpful than others. On Monday I spoke to Jim who is both extremely nice and well-known around VJ for giving above-and-beyond information. I asked if London was still scheduling and he informed me that the "first round" was done, so I naturally questioned what that meant I might call once more just to see if they'll tell me when a second round would occur, if it does.

So what does it mean that the "first round" was done? I am assuming "first round" is done for India as well.

Congratulations!! Do you know when NVC scanned in the docs you sent on March 19?

As of last night 8:00 PM, it was not reviewed or scanned. They just said they received mail on March 24.

I called NVC to ask the status of the case and informed me of case complete.

What happened to posts 1 and 2? It's not on page 1 of this thread.

Print out the docs requirement list from the NVC website and explain them that you need to send one to the NVC. ALso take your NOA2 and try your luck reasoning with them.

My wife went with the DS-261 confirmation and explained to them that PCC is required to be submitted to NVC as part of the IV application. They agreed and told her that there will first be a police inquiry and then she will have to go back to the get the actual PCC.

This is for the Ahmedabad office.

Just called NVC to clarify something about PCC required from India, She told me, "DO NOT send the Police certificate to the National Visa Center, your wife will bring that to Mumbai during her interview." I told her that the websites say PCC is required to be sent to NVC, she then tells me, "Sir, I am trying to help you, DO NOT send that to NVC, it will cause delays."

Thanks for giving good news I have been confused about this coz if we wait for police certificate it will take another 20 days so it saved our time. Thank you very much for good news

I wouldn't be rejoicing just yet..I just came across a similar post somewhere on visajourney:

"Hi..

i was also confuse abt sending my PCC or just wait until my interview..so i called NVC and the lady told me that don't send it with DS-260 or DS-230 cuz Mumbai consulate doesn't require to send pcc with DS-260..so i sent everything else but not the PCC..after couple of weeks i got checklist saying iam missing my PCC..so i sent it afterward"

Anyone here ever hear of this?

Update:

NVC Received: Jan 13, 2014

Case and IIN assigned: Feb 12, 2014

DS-261 available and filled: Feb 22, 2014

it's been 9 days since NVC gave us our case number..but AOS & IV bill are not yet invoice.

Technically, today is the 5th business day. They were closed on Feb 13 and Feb 17.

Has anyone who received their case number and IIN on 2/12/14 been able to fill DS-261 and the AOS Fee?

Who gave you that information? My wife started the PCC process soon as her I-130 was approved. She got her passport reissued with my name on her passport and then got the PCC done. It took about 4 weeks to get everything done. Your spouse should go to passport office soon as possible and start the process. NVC will require the PCC to be sent with IV packet.

My wife went to get her PCC last week in Ahmedabad, India, they said they require some sort of "checklist" or something with a bar code from NVC. They want to know on what basis is she getting her PCC done? Any thoughts on this?

Is DS-261 available for anyone who received their case # and IIN on Feb 12?

Anyone that received their case number and IIN on Feb 12, able to see DS-261?

Folks from India, what is required for PCC? Do they require the barcode sheet?

^{I called again, received the IIN. The operator also gave me the Beneficiary ID number.}

^{The operator mentioned not to try to pay the fee until I get instructions from them, any suggestions or advice on that?}

^{Case was received at NVC on 13/Jan/2014.}

^{Case number and IIN assigned on 12/Feb/2014}

Just got off the phone, they assigned a case number. For the IIN, they said I'll get an email with instructions on how to get that. I'll probably call later today to confirm.

theluckygirl and Nonofurbusiness, keep trying to call.

Who with my date has not received case number yet????? NVC received case on 1/13/14, today is 20 business day and I have yet to get a case number... They are providing excuses such as we have received several applications and it's taking longer than usual to input them into the system.. UGHHHHHHH!!!!!! I have had it.. How much longer are we supposed to wait

Yep..Same here! And tomorrow, they'll be closed tomorrow due to the storm and Monday is a holiday (Presidents day).
