Everything crossed for today!

Okay, thanks very much Nich-Nick! Your support is much appreciated.

Thanks very much for your replies! I know I'm stressing out way too much.

I was hoping to leave tomorrow (Sunday)... Does anybody know if there is a possibility of a Saturday delivery?

Oh, one more thing... Is a credit card with my full passport name enough for I.D.? The only photo ID I have is... my passport, haha!

Hi there,

My visa was approved in the 29th of August in London (currently writing up my experience!) and the status on CEAC changed to "Issued" on Wednesday 3rd September.

Since then I've not heard anything which may be my fault- they say they text you the tracking number but I sold my phone and cancelled my SIM the other day (doh!).

Anyway I've got a couple of questions for you fine people:

1. Should I also get an email from the embassy who my tracking number? If not, how should I go about getting one?

2. Do DX automatically deliver on Saturdays or am I stuck until after the weekend?

3. Finally, the big one... Have I missed anything? By that I mean, I filled out the courier info and paid a delivery fee on the usvisa-info site, but that's it. After the interview I just left the embassy. I've read some threads talking about paying for an envelope at the embassy, and the website said delivery starts at $30 but I don't think I paid that much... I also didn't get to choose before 12pm delivery. What do you think?

Thanks very much for your time!

(Please move if not in right place)

Hi G Walters,

Do you know what number would you recommend calling? I tried the one on the London Embassy website but it only handles non-immigrant visas.

Thanks,

Hi there,

I have just gone over the 7 week waiting point after submitting my Applicant Readiness form. I've had my medical a month and a half ago, submitted my DS-260 the same day and my readiness form as well. During the "up to six weeks" timeframe, I sent one email advising that my wife would accompany me to the interview and two emails asking whether everything including my medical, DS-260 and readiness form had been received OK. I did not receive any replies to these emails. Furthermore, I contacted the NVC directly three times and had a nice lady confirm each time that everything had been submitted and was in order and that I just had to wait for the letter.

I was surprised at how long I'd been waiting for an interview letter so I decided to email once more, stating my desire to have my interview as soon as possible and received this email in return:

"We confirm receipt of your medical examination.

As of this date however, we have not yet received the forms as listed on the Embassy website at http://london.usembassy.gov/ds2001.html . Once you have completed the DS-260, you are required to submit the Notification of Applicant Readiness form -http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/notification_of_applicant_readiness.html . You will receive confirmation of your interview date within six weeks of submitting all the required documentation."

I've been spending the last 7 weeks eagerly yet patiently awaiting my letter, just to be told that the form wasn't received. My problem is that it was submitted. I have screenshots of each step taken including the confirmation page, and my browser auto-completes the entire form if I try to fill it again. I'm at a loss here. I've replied to their email stating all the above and my but still haven't had a reply.

Has anybody else experienced his problem? Does anybody know of any way to contact the embassy directly by phone? Finally, does anybody know of any way I could get the embassy to give me the soonest date? I've seen timeframes for people who have had their medical after me who have already had their interviews...

Thank you very, very much for your time.
