I called the embassy and my packet was sent Nov 13 (9 days after my readiness form was received). My interview was scheduled for 8 December. Looks like there was a problem after all. Royal Mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My advice, if you are waiting for longer than 2 weeks give them a call!

I am trying to get the interview re-scheduled - can anyone recommend the quickest way to have this done?

I don't understand.. what was the problem? Rescheduled to what/when?

Quickest/only way to reach the IVU is by email.

Explain to them that you want to change the date of your interview, they will give you an email address and a code to put in the subject line of the email.

Send the email asking for a change, when I sent mine I put the dates I was available and the reason why I wanted it changing. They send you an email back which says that it could take 4 working days to respond, however I got a response within 24 hours.

One thing though - If you sent them your statement of readiness, what is the problem with the date they have given you? If its because you are not ready, thehn I wouldn't expect a favourable response!

Just wondering what this checklist is. Do you send it after you get your medical and everything done?

I thought you had to wait to get your medical until you were given your interview date? Were you given your interview date and had your medical between November 10th (when you sent in the DS-230) and November 24th (when you mailed the checklist)?

Why can't you attend the December 8 interview?

Sorry to hear about your Royal mail problem but glad to hear that your on your way now. Thanks for posting this update. Its been about 2 weeks since they HOPEFULLY received my packet so maybe I will get something this week

I have work commitments that I can't get out of with this amount of notice. I figured that since I haven't even received my packet yet they would show a little compassion but who knows.

In that case I'm sure if you put in the email that you've not recieved the packet, and when you called to get an update you were given the date, but you can't get out of work at such short notice, then they would be accomodating.

What? Are you crazy?

My interview date is 8th Dec - at 9.30 am. Let me know if you decide to go ahead with it and will look out for you.

One more thing... I only had 2 and a half weeks notice to schedule train and hotels etc. I guess they are pretty quick once you say you are ready.

Mine was at 10am. I am waiting to see if they will reschedule and if not this is more important than my job.

DS-230 is the actual visa application. The checklist is the statement of readiness (checking off all of the documents that we've pulled together). There was a lag-time between sending the two because we were waiting on one document.

So we are still waiting for the interview letter and will schedule the medical for the same day or several beforehand.

I'm really sorry, I'm not being intentionally dense, but when we submitted the DS-230 we also submitted ALL the documents they required (plus photocopies and photographs) in the same envelope and overnighted it to the NVC. Was there some other checklist we were supposed to include to state that we were ready?


Thanks!

There are two disctinctly different application processes being discussed.

marcsred, you petitioned via a US Service Center.
Some of the others live abroad and petitioned at their overseas USCIS office. Those people take their civil docs to the interview.

You're all going to have each other in a panic.
