Tokyo British Clinic is open on Saturday and you can pick up the result in 2 hours if you pay the expedited fee.
Supposedly you need a letter from NVC to make an appointment, but clinics in Tokyo seem to be flexible if you tell them you are in a hurry.
Good luck.



Yes, and they even mail those med doc and Xray to an address inside Japan with additional fee. star_smile.gif

On average, after you received your letter stating that you and your spouse have been approved. How long after that was your interview at the embassy?

What date did they give for the interview, two weeks after receipt of the approval letter... One month..... ect.

How many of you were also able to call the embassy and get your interview date moved to a sooner date or later date?

they gave it back to me at the end of interview. sorry...


Anyway, passport is not in sealed envelope so
you can open the package, take out passport / sealed envelope.

The sealed envelope (in my case) was actually taped.
on that tape, there were a few stamps that says

"to be opened only by American Autorities at Port of Entry"

both in English and Japanese.


I think everything that is not sealed can be opened.

In case it helps - here were the questions I was asked at the interview....

- Tell me what your husband's job title means (he has an unusual one)
- How long have you worked at (name of my company)
- Will you be able to continue your job over there (I said no and he said that was a shame)
- What is the longest time you have been in the US
- The two children on your petition are they yours? (No, stepchildren)
- How did you meet?
- Have you ever been in trouble with the police
- Have you ever been in trouble with American immigration
- Which countries have you lived in for more than 6 months since the age of 16

You guys are already set but if you still feel nervous,
just read over stuff you turned in and if you have some
questions, just ask each other.

The interviewer is just a human being, just wants to
make sure everything you wrote on the official doc
is true. star_smile.gif

kicking.gif way to go... did you get the visa in the same day??? whoooo hooooooo good.gif


No, I wish. Have to wait for them to mail the passport and documents. They say it will be up to 2 weeks, but the experience floating around the Canada forums has the visa in the mail the next business day 9 out of 10 times.

Suuuwwweeeeeetttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good.gif

and i am kind of getting nervous.... tomorrow is Friday the last friday before his interview EEEECCCKKK!



I know, I was nervous before interview although I had been to the US Embassy in Tokyo to
get my work visa a few times in the past.

But, there is no need to worry cuz you have an interview date set.
It means you two have everything filed already. They wanna make sure
you are a human. They want to double check that your sweetie is not coming
to the US for just earning money$$$ or something.

I suppose they've met so many people @ interview as their job,
and I am sure they can tell the difference btw truth and untruth.

Hi! How are you feeling today?

good.gif trudger24 is quite right!

I understand that not having an interview date makes
you more worried, but that's why this Visa Journey community
is up here.

I think whoever already got VISA get busy to move on
to the next step, moving into the States, and don't
access this site.
But we never forget about our friends here.

My husband Ling Ling and I are subscribed to this
thread so if you need help or want to chat, just post
your comment / thoughts / question, anytime!!

or if you are having a problem which is too personal
just send us private message.

I had my interview in Tokyo, I know we are under
different situation, but, we can share how to deal with
NVC at least. My husband Ling Ling taught me how
to speak to them on the phone when I had to inquire...

We will work it out. star_smile.gif

No worries...they can't keep a good man down.

OH...I was so bored tonight, I called NVC.
They were like, "what do you want?"
I said, "Oh, my wife has her US Visa,
I just called to say thanks for all your help".
There was silence at the other end, and
then she said..."You're welcome".

So I'm hoping that she got a warm fuzzy inside,
and when the next person calls asking for an IIN...
maybe they'll get it.

oh, my hubbiE does surprise mii once in a while...

I did not know that Ling Ling had called them to say that.
I sometimes felt they're like machine... but I was wrong.
Ling Ling taught me some people skills over phone conversation.

It is like my hubbiE calls for manager @ restaurant to tell
'good comment' over a waiter... first they turn into a serious face
but after... good.gif

I get the "oh, you guys will never last"

I feel like saying "why is it ok for you to tell me my marriage is doomed to fail? What if I told you that"



I think that couples, who go through this process and face the difficulties brought upon by these delays, are more likely to stay married happily since they will come to appreciate the times together by remembering the times spent apart...at least in most cases.



good.gif I agree!!
already worked hard together and conquered difficulties together thru Visa Journey.
if our relationship is weak, we never came to this point. smile.gif
