So I called NVC today and they told me my case was closed and in line for an interview! So I was so excited!! But I just got an email (I'm in EP) that is a checklist requesting my photos for the DS-260 supporting documents. What do I do? Is my case not closed suddenly? Do i need to respond to this?? Thanks!

First off, did you send them the scanned photos in the IV package?

I know lately that NVC has been issuing checklists for photos for EP cases, but it's just a reminder to bring the photos to the interview.

And as with any checklists, there's always a delay between them being generated and you receiving them. That checklist you received was probably generated yesterday or even earlier, some time before your case was closed.

If in doubt, call up NVC and ask them. They're the best source to help you out with your case.

Nope, if you sent them, then you're good to go! Call to confirm when you have the chance just to be 100% sure though. They're still open for another 3 hours, don't forget ;)

I got the same checklist for all 3 of us. Our cases are all complete. The checklist actually existed before the case was closed but the timing of the emails is not very good! It is just as Saylin said, if you read the wording of it the instructions are to provide the photos at the interview.
