Hello everyne

Sorry I have been off line for a minute.

Good luck in the interview to Moonrising and Mrs.Mansor. Please let us know how it went and crossing Qalandia.

FreedomB, I'm not sure which site you are checking. When I look at: https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspxit now shows my case status as "Ready." My current processing site on the other website mentioned by Ammali above now says "Jerusalem." I believe that means Jerusalem has received my file from NVC. I forget when your interview is, I think it's in the mid or end of October. If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about it right now. Give it another week and check back.

Thank You Moonrising and Ammali for the links! Its very help.

His interview date scheduled for Oct. 22nd at 7:25 am

I have been using the link to check on the visa status. It says "Case at NVC". I am assuming they haven't transferred the documentst to Jerusalem, yet. I guess I will be calling them on Monday to follow up with the NVC and bug them about. This is the only outstanding issue we have at this momonent.

I read your comments Ammali about your wife getting thru the israeli check point last year. This is very disappointing. I hope it will go well for her this year. Did this happen at Qalandia check point or some other check point?

You can email the Consulate and let them verify if they have your interview scheduled on the correct date, also you can contact WASSEL and ask them about this error, I'd start with WASSEL first, and if they can't do anything about it and it's not a technical issue, then I'd email the Consulate to verify.

I hope this will help.

Hi ammali,

Thank you for the links. I will use them.

I called NVC last night. I have asked them if they have transferred packet to US consulate in Jerusalem. They told me no. Then I asked them to confirm the interview date. They confirmed it. Then I asked them when will the packet get transferred. They told me call back next week to check on the status. I am starting to see the issue.

NVC has not send the packet yet. When I check for visa status, it says "CASE at NVC". If the packet left to Consulate, the status would've change, correct?

Also, I sent an email to the "ais.usvisa" for help and it says it will respond 3 to 4 days. It had passed more than 4 days. I believe the NVC is holding us up on this issue.

I need to keep bugging them until they sent the packet to Jerusalem.

Did you or anyone have seen this kind of an issue?

Hi everyone,

I am new registry. I am looking for some help. My husband and I are Palestinian. My husband is currently live in West Bank. He got his in date (10/28/2015) and instruction for US consulate in Jerusalem. However, we have ran into a snag on this web site "ais.usvisa-info.com/en-il/iv". According to Consulate check list, my husband has to create an account for a courier and get proof. So, we tried create the account but it gives an error state "date is not ready for interview". We are nervous and concern. I check the NVC web site and it states "Case at NVC". This is confusing. He gets a scheduled interview date and he is in motion to gather all the documents as well as to schedule a medical but we can't create a simple account.

Has anyone run into this problem? What action has been done to correct it?

Any help or guidance, we do appreciate it.

Congratulations on getting your interview date! I looked on your timeline, we seem to have done everything around the same time so it makes sense both our husbands have interviews on the same day.

Which doctor did you go to? I think it's important for people to know so we can all formally complain to the Consulate. Even the 750 NIS is more than the price listed on the Consulate instructions, assuming your husband didn't get any additional exams or shots or anything. For the standard medical exam (420 NIS), blood test (100 NIS) and x-ray (110 NIS) it should only add up to 630 NIS at either of the West Bank physicians. Even 420 NIS for a doctor's visit is ridiculous according to local prices - nearly quadruple a normal office visit fee!

Regarding how long it will take to get your visa after the interview - it's hard to predict. If you have all of the papers and aren't asked to submit anything else, and your husband isn't put into administrative processing (look elsewhere on this forum if you don't know what that is), then I heard it could be something like 2-4 weeks. But if they ask you for more papers or you get into administrative processing then it can be longer.

I'm not sure what time the standard permit for West Bankers allows them into Jerusalem but I can ask around for you. Doubtful he will get an overnight permit for just the interview but he can try. Where he's coming from and what time his interview is makes a difference as to when he should be there. Look on the Consulate website, I think they say you should get there early, maybe even a half hour before. We're planning to be there 30-40 minutes in advance.

Did you hear there's an updated I-864 (AOS) form? The last date they will be accepting the old form (the 3/22/13 edition, which I submitted) is October 6th. After that USCIS will only accept the 07/02/15 edition. I'm not sure if we are ok because technically ours has already been submitted before October 6th, but just in case I decided to fill out the new form and give it to my husband to have on hand for the interview. I would hate to have it be the one thing they ask for!
