IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC interview scheduling doubt
Thanks a lot Inkypinky.

I have another silly question to ask, while tracking your case when its sent to Embassy, say the case left on 6th of October 2008, this is the format to follow with DHL website--> EXP 06 OCT 2008A..

I want to know what does that "A.." stands for, are those the left 6 digits of ones NVC case number?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC interview scheduling doubt
I have a doubt with interview schedule at NVC.

So I guess everyone approved will have to start calling from 6th of October, as that is the 2nd week. What I want to know is, does one call to schedule a date or does one call to know if they have been scheduled for next month's interview list.

I mean say if someone doesn't call from 6th to 10th and they call on 12th of October, will they be allotted a date even though they didn't call all this time. Duh! I hope I am not confusing you all.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlanning for interview
I have got my interview date for mid of November. So with all the jitter bugs, I have a list of questions on top of my head right now. Basically plan for Consulate.

I live in far off islands from Mainland India, so I will be leaving for Mumbai around 10 days prior to my interview. I am not sure how much I will be able to get online, if at all, so I do want to prepare for it.

1) Since I will leave early from my home town, can I get interview letter and medical package directly from the consulate office in Mumbai if I show them my passport and give my case number and other details?
2) I understand one has to pay a minimal courier fee at VFS office in Mumbai, are there any other documents to submit there? Like medical or any other forms? I have to pay the fee of Rs 365 from 10 days to 7 days prior to interview?.am I correct on that?


3) This is for people who have done their medical from Mumbai. NVC lists 2 labs in Mumbai for medical examination, which one is nearer to Mumbai consulate? Breach Candy Hospital & Research Centre or Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre. Also according to their site they have just listed Labs, but no physicians have been prescribed. I do assume that once all the checkups are done, one has to go to a specific doctor with those reports, so which doctor/doctors to go after lab work is done or for Mumbai the same labs does the evaluation work also?

4) On interview date, I understand I have to bring the entire previously filed document again, just for keep sake, especially AOS. But are there any other forms to fill up? Or in a standard procedure, I just show up with all the proofs of a bonafide relationship, medical report & receipt from VFS showing I have paid my bill?

Thanks for any help you can provide. And best of luck to every one for a speedy process good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVFS instructions and DHL tracking
Actually, have you called NVC and confirmed that if your package have been forwarded to the consulate yet or not?

You can only play with the dates only after NVC confirms that they have forwarded your case to consulate and once you get that specific date of forwarding from NVC, you can play with DHL site.


About medical, one can do medical even 1 day prior to interview, but that is a bit risky, basically once you get your interview date, you can start with your medical anytime which is suitable for you.

For me, I have booked 11th November date at Leelavati hospital. I have to travel to Mumbai for medical and VFS, so that date suites me well.

And see you on 20th tongue.gif

ETA: DHL thing is a guess work, you won't specifically get your case number, NVC sends bunch of cases to specific consulate one at a time. So I guess since our case is for 20th November, NVC will forward our case by 20th of October, I have been calling NVC every day to hear their voice message, but there hasn't been any update about forwarding my case to Mumbai consulate.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVFS instructions and DHL tracking
There is a courier fee you have to pay at VFS office, I wrote to Mumbai embassy yesterday and they said the new updated fee is now Rs. 394, you can pay this fee 10 days to 7 days prior of your interview, so that means, you can pay your fee on 10th, 11th and 12th of November. A few people submit their medical at VFS while others take it to Consulate, depends upon when you do your medical. Do keep the receipt from VFS safely, you will have to submit that at consulate on the day of interview.

About NVC, you have to keep calling them periodically and listen to the updates, say your case gets forwarded to Mumbai consulate on 15th of October.

Then go to this dhl track list and type out EXP 15 OCT 2008A

You may want to also type out EXP 14 OCT 2008A. basically you will have to play with dates and there will be a list generated, you have to find Mumbai embassy from there and that's how you track.

Best of luck on 20th November good.gif
