I know she can only wait but what If things go worse??  Have you seen any case like this and how long  the wait can be?? If they said in interview that the file is incomplete,  they should have ask documents.  
 
 

Hello all,
 
My sister in India had a CR1 interview today at the U.S. consulate in Mumbai, India. They gave her 221g white slip and said that your file is incomplete. My sister asked the Consular Officer what documents are missing. But, the interview officer told her that they cannot comment on that and handed her the 221g white slip. The slip even doesn't say which document to submit. My sister is so stressed right now. She checked the ceac site and status says "Refused". 
 
My question is:
 
1. Does Consulate email her regarding what documents she needs to submit?
2. Does the color of the 221g slip mean anything? Like white, yellow, or blue??
 
Please help and reply if you have any information
Thanks

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 Mexico, Ghana 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.

******************Tips about your getting your SSN******************
If you don't have your SSN card within 21 days of your POE,  go IN PERSON to your local SSA office and see if your  application was forwarded by the Immigration officer.   It only works about 50% of the time when you tick  the box on the DS-260. As soon as you have your SSN you  may work.  Your passport visa and the immigration stamp  is the equivalent of your green card. Thank you Sukie in NY

Yes. They can.. but make sure to double-check with the beneficiary as all information is about beneficiary. Even in my case, petitioner's did. But I check thrice before signing it.

Congratulations... 

Got it.. Even we are waiting on Insurance.. And I read earlier discussion too where NVC is relaxed about DS5504

Same question I have in my mind regarding public Charge Questionare. What to upload as proof or just a form will suffice?
 
And if we upload today, will the clock resets? Or they consider first submission?
