Collect from where? The courier depot.... I'd it quicker?

Yeah from the courier depot, it's on the Industrial Estate where the Asda depot is in Normanton, probably saves a couple of days.

Hey, what website are you talking about for registering? not sure what i need to do? Can we pick up our passport with visas in?

You can register once you have an interview date, you can then choose to collect or have your passport courier end back, I'm going to collect, it's only 20 mins or so away in Normanton :D

YAY!! You can breathe now! :-D
 
I wonder if this means they've opened up September scheduling? At least they got you in early before they scheduled other peoples!

Yes, breathing ... Lol!
Seems like they might be getting ready to release the next round of interviews doesn't it!

Departed Facility in CINCINNATI HUB - USA CINCINNATI HUB, OH - USA 06:11

 

My and urbangirluk's cases finally left the states! Next stop, London! :dance:

 

Same here - looks we were on the same plane from Boston to Cincinnati.

Woohoo!!!  Here's to that all important little word 'Ready' then I can set about getting my date changed :D

 

 

Originally I got an Interview schedule by NVC for August 18, by mistake when I was creating an account for Loomis courier , by mistake I schedule an appointment for August 21st and immediately I cancelled that appointment.  I called this morning to confirm that my original appointment was still schedule and they informed me that appointment was cancelled too (because of my stupidity  :bonk: ). Then she said we have an opening for August 5th, would you like to take that appointment? WOULD I LIKE TO TAKE THAT APPOINTMENT? LOL of course I said! so at the end it paid off.

Thanks and I wish you best of luck with your process.

 

I wish it was that easy to change an interview date with the London Embassy <_<

Maybe you two could write and sign a joint letter to the embassy. It might work like a charm for both of you. 


Gotta be worth a try :D

Our file is in Transit as of today, yay!!!

Yes, k.dlg & urbangirluk are both at London Embassy. Both have PDs after mine, both had CCs after mine and both their interviews are before mine. We're all in London.

And I would trade interview dates with you in a heartbeat if only I could speak to a real person!!

VISA APPROVED at Mumbai embassy today morning. Case status says " ISSUED " in CEAC site. Thank you everyone here. :)

Congrats :D


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-07-15 06:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 Interviews

I have a question of curiosity. So in the subject line of our interview letter e-mail, it states "(STD P4 APP (24JUN2013))" after our case number. Is June 24, 2013 relevant to anything, such as a case complete date?

Yeah, mine says the same, so suspect it's mumbo jumbo ;)

 

 

quick question... what date does your interview letter have on it? Ours says 11 July 2014, but the CEAC status still says "At NVC"

 

I guess ours is just taking a little longer to ship out? We really want to write the Embassy to ask for an earlier interview date, but can't do it until they receive the file!

 

Happy to see yours is already there! Are you trying for an earlier date or just going with the one given?

Mine still says at NVC and we got Case Complete a week ago ... desperate for it to change because I need to change my interview date (later).

 

 

We emailed the embassy and they said they can't change the date until they get the case from NVC. I called my friends at NVC and they told me they're still sitting on my case because they're a bunch of lazy morons and they just can't give me a freaking break. :no:

 

Does anyone know how long it takes for them to actually mail the case?

Hope not too long, but ours is still sitting there according to the CEAC website and that's a week since CC.

If you filled out that contact form thingy, they do respond within 5 days. It would be lovely if we could get a human on the phone!


I did that, I guess I just have to be patient ... Ha that's funny, quite good at that already!! Agreed though, would be a whole lot easier to speak to someone! Just wanted all this sorted before my surgery, sigh....

urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-07-12 16:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 Interviews

 

You can either change and move it out or wait and reschedule once you feel you are ready. Most embassies scheduled out at least 45 days. (I did this 2 times with the same petition).

 

But do let them know you won't attend.
 

OK, thanks, I just didn't want to find ourselves in a situation where we had to start all over again ... as soon as I can get some sort of contact with them I do intend getting a new date for when I'll be done with my surgery :D

So, worst case scenario, and I can't reschedule my interview, and I can't attend because I'm not physically able after my surgery, what would happen?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 Interviews

 

Hello and congratulations to everyone with a scheduled interview. It sure looks like London is scheduling dates backwards though!?

 

When you guys call the embassy in London re: interview dates, which department/number are you calling? I thought there was no direct line for IV

There isn't, I've tried to get through a few times today, eventually managed to speak to someone but they just told me I had to email my request


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-07-11 10:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 Interviews

 

I would suggest you email the embassy once they receive the case, state the dates you cannot attend an interview and attach the corroborating medical documents. You might get any of the following three replies:

a) They postpone your interview, or

b) They bring it forward (would be great), or

c) (and they did this with my wife's B1/B2 visa a few years back) They'll keep the interview date and just ask for your passport to stamp the visa on it. Doubt they'll do that with an IV, but who knows. They might just go through your documents and decide just that.

Thanks, I'm gonna call up and see what they say :D

I think NVC's been reading my blog. Well, I got some more choice words for them muthas now! LOL

My husband has an itchy dialing finger, he'll be on the phone with the Embassy as soon as you hang up tomorrow! :-D

 

I cannot seriously thank you enough!

Ha ha, can just picture Graham sat there poised over the phone!!!  I hope it works, will make life a whole lot easier for all of us :D

GAHH! My PD is before both of yours, my CC was before both of you and my interview is after both of yours. W T F Proof that it's a lottery. :protest:

 

 

P.S. I know both of these ladies, so please don't think I'm taking it out on them because they both know I'm not! :)

It's a crazy ### process ... I was seriously thinking we would be late August or early September ... sheesh, what a mess

 

 

Yeah, but B+Gdrew need it more than we do!! :) :yes:
 

If the embassy allow it, I would gladly trade, a later date will work so much better!


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-07-10 16:49:00

Are you getting excited that your interview is 10 days?!

  
I'm excited that it's almost here but nervous for the actual interview :-/

visa issued!!!!

  

Visa on hand guys!!
Thank you everybody, we couldnt be any happier. She flyes in on thursday, it took the embassy 4 business days to have the package ready to be picked up by my wife. Very efficient. Good think bc i was worried about having to change her flight dates. I saw some posting that there are no updates on the passport once the interview is don and visa issued; in our case the site is only updated once the package is picked up by the courier service.
Good luck guys

  

Case complete as of today... :joy:

  

Just got CC(AoS changed to N/A). 
Hello new thread :D

  

Visa in hand!! 4 days after interview, even though ustraveldocs still shows no update status !!! Nonetheless, happy and excited this is over. Now we just have to deal with O'hare POE!

Congrats y'all :D
