Welcome to the Case Complete to Interview Monthly thread.

You can view my spreadsheet Case Complete to Interview Spreadsheet

To update your interview date go here. Case Complete to Interview Form

For New people to the thread please go Case Complete to Interview Form and input your information in the form and it will be added to the form.

Everyone should be clicking on the Portal tab to visit the information for their country. If nothing is there or information needs updating. Update or add.

Its up to all of us to keep this information current, relevant and helpful to others.

Special Note: Different consulates or embassies have strict guidelines as to what type of bags/purses/cellphones etc can be carried in. And whether they provide any lockers (or not) for temp storage. As many travel from far away (by air/train/cars, one needs to specially know what they will not be able to take inside the consulate and where to store their personal belongings.

Here are some FAQ and other tidbits that may be useful to you. Be sure to visit your countries portal and click on the Consular Information and also Consular reviews.

FAQ

I just called and got Case Complete how long does it take to get the email as confirmation?

Well it has been taking 5 to 7 days to get case complete email from the date they Case Complete.

How long after Case Complete will I get an interview?

Okay this is the BIG mystery of NVC. How it usually goes is end of the month and first week of month they start scheduling for interviews for the that upcoming month. Since January they have been pretty consistent starting about the last 2 days of the month and finishing that following first week of next month

Do I have to call for my interview date?

NVC has improved greatly since March. The interview letter now comes day of schedule. So call if you want its up to you.

I know someone who got interview in the middle of the month. How is that possible?

Usually when you see someone pop up with an interview outside the bunch its usually the result of a cancellation or the embassy opening up a slot. Just because scheduling stops doesn't mean they filled up all slots. They may have more slots than appointments which is good. So someone gets case complete and immediately they get an interview. It happens.

Remember every embassy has its own slots and schedule. Some like El Salvador are very busy with a long waiting list. Some like Yemen, well it may be a few months to get in. Iceland you get interview immediately scheduled after case Complete.

I need to change our interview date what do I do?

Once you receive your interview date track your casefile. Call NVC ask when your casefile left than you can follow the DHL instructions to embassy. The contact your embassy (email is best) and ask to be rescheduled later, earlier just ask.

What do I need to bring to interview?

When you receive your P4 Letter (Interview letter) it will have your personalized checklist of things to bring or not. It has been suggested because things have been lost between NVC and embassy to bring everything (Originals) to the interview so if they don't have at embassy you aren't delayed.It's up to you. It doesn't happen much but it does happen.

How to expedite at NVC?

Go to this link has good information how to go about it.

Update: My husband he left yesterday to go to Lagos to drop off his passport at the DHL collection center. That's an 8 hour bus/car ride. He got there to late since the center closed at 4pm. Dang it.

So this morning he text me good morning said he was getting ready. Text here and there throughout the day. "Too many people, its hectic. Now trouble". Trouble I say, Now he just said to me an hour ago "Baby they rejected the drop off application and passport. Let me call you and explain".

My head is swirling I am sick to stomach all a sudden. Now I hear the beats (music thumpin) of his car. No way who is driving my hubbies car.

IT IS HIM. That sneaky man. :dance:

With the biggest smile he gets out the car. I knew I just got played.

Passport submitted yesterday he got there before 4pm. They gave him the papers where to pick up VISA in 10 days.

If I wasn't so happy and relieved I would kick his butt. LOL Love this man.

Congrats !! That was a very Nice surprise from your Husband!, stay true to one another ..

Well not all roses and sunshine.

AP because the mofo system the CO says wasn't not giving her the information she needed. And they need more time.

They just touched our case for the first time yesterday.

So not thrilled but remain optimistic. The usual give us 60 days BS was given.

So wait we must.

Keep your eye on your prize !

God is the best listener,you don't need to shout , he knows your heart ..

Thank you for all you do for us ..

April 28, 2016

Good luck DWheels. I am claiming this approval for you and your hubby!!!

Here is the review I posted for my hubby's interview:

My husband's interview was on April 26, 2016. This is how he said it went. His appointment was at 8 am. He got there around 7 but they did not let anyone in until 8. He went through security and then he put his phone in locker and then he went into the waiting area. He was called to a window where they asked him for his birth certificate ( copy and original) P.S. he had the "extrait d'archives", they took the marriage certificate and the attestation paper that the judge signed (copy and original), his passport, western union transfer records and picture of us together. He said he was not asked for the police certificate or the new AOS form that I filled or my 2015 tax returns. After he gave the papers they told him to sit down and wait for the CO to call him. when the CO called him, the interview barely lasted 2 minutes. It was a woman who interviewed him. She asked him: who is sending for you? Are you married? When did you get married? Do you have a child? boy or girl? Where are you going to live when you get to USA? Why do you want to go USA. My husband said that she asked the questions very fast. Then she said Congratulations you qualify to go to the USA. Then she gave him two papers one in French one in English telling him congratulations and how to register on the UStraveldocs.com and track the passport. She told him in a week he should have his passport with visa in hand. She returned all the pictures and western union stuff that were submitted to NVC and at the interview. CEAC website already stated that the visa has been printed since yesterday morning. Waiting on the email so I can get a DHL tracking number. Overall it was a very good experience.

CONGRATS ! I am hoping for a smooth interview like this .. GOD IS GOOD .. #marriedtomyfirstlove.

April 25, 2016

Finger crossed for his interview date, too

Fingers and toes crossed ! Let it mean interview please!

April 25, 2016

Saw that on mine too! Maybe they updated the website?

Good afternoon ! I am hoping all of us waiting for an interview date get it this week .

And I also noticed the change , that's a good sign I hope! .. Good luck all ..

April 22, 2016

There's nothing to track until you have an interview scheduled. The best way to track your petition is on ceac.state.gov and when it says READY its at the embassy.

Thank you ! Waiting is so stressful .. But thanks to you and the other here I am able to keep my sanity.

Hello Everybody!!

Congratulations to all who get their interview approval!

There is anybody from ARGENTINA waiting for the Interview or something?? I am waiting for my Interview, my case was closed 31 March and I don´t have any news yet.

Was is really weird is that I don´t see anybody from Argentina in the Forum, last want who right something in the forum was in middle of March, after that nobody, and also I check DHL for the packages sent to Argentina, and the Last one sent was on March 7, this is so weird and make me worry...

If somebody know something please let me know, I will appreciate that

Thanks a lot!!

Good morning Mingo66

I am the only one from Antigua and Barbuda. So I know how you feel , we just have to wait until next week for an appointment date in June . Praying that it's the beginning of June ..

Also can you tell me how to track the DHL PACKAGES ..

THANK YOU

April 21, 2016

We are APPROVED!!!!!! My husband just called me, he finished his interview not even 30 minutes ago.

At first he called me sounding down and I'm like "What's wrong"?? Then he goes, "I don't think you're ready for what she (the officer) told me". I'm like what did she say??!!! Then he goes, "She said I should go meet my wife in a months time"!

I'm telling you, it was just God! He was only asked 2 questions:

When did you meet your wife?

How old is she?

Then she said he was approved. He said she didn't ask for a single document that he carried, not even the tax documents for 2015. She was just flipping through the documents we sent at USCIS and NVC stage and she told him that she liked our wedding cake (which was made by my husband's sister).

Visajourney and particularly this thread has prepared us beyond measure! We weren't prepared as well in 2014 as we were this time around.

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone that prayed and encouraged us. This feels like family here. Dwheels I just want to say a special thank you to you, you're a blessing to many on here and a gem. Less than 6 days to go for you and hubby! Without a doubt I know yours will go well!

I plan to post a review by later today once I get the details from him.

Congrats to you and your Husband !

April 19, 2016
