Even if your agency is on the moon or beside the office of NVC in New Hampshire...they would not make a phone call...ok i agree with you that they will inform, notify you as soon as you have your appointment date but these things are done according to their own standard operating procedures, prescribed and in accordance with the U.S. immigration law...No special treatment for schedule A, no V.I.P. treatment for schedule A...

This is my weakness...most of the time...arguing with a FEMALE...hmmmm.

(You have to take me out on a date to know more about me...j/k)You are attacking my emotions now and hitting my softer side. This has nothing to do with my "friends" case she has her I-140 approved last June 2005, waiting for the visa fee bill(hopefuly she will get it this month). Her PD is June 2004 under CSC.

Sorry babe if i hurt your feelings...

Dale

"attacking your emotions" is a strong word. I never had the intention to do that. I am just asking the reason why the change in outlook. So good for you that it has nothing to do with your "friends" case.

Never did say that schedule A will be given a VIP treatment, I just said that NVC will inform, call, notify my agency or whatever you want to call it and it is not tantamount to giving a VIP treatment.

was never hurt, forum like this is for exchanging ideas and information and will not take it personally. "babe'" is such a chauvinist remark. no offense taken but make sure next time that you are arguing with a female.

Peace brother!

Far out BUT possible.

Becoming a pessimist huh???

I think Dale is correct, how could an interview comes first before the medical exam? May I know where did you learn all about this? Kindly give us your source so that we could also check it out. How could one go to the Embassy without an appointment letter and will just tell the security guard that the NVC called him for an interview? I think that's not possible, anyway I respect your side but please tell us your sources?

And to you Dale, why did you say that more delays will be expected?

There are several post (here, murthy.com, nclex-rn.net, etc, immigrationportal.com, rupnet.net,etc.),first hand information from friends, confirmation from my agency that schedule A cases have been scheduled and interviewed without having their medical first.

Renceri, awori, and others who are reading this forum but are not posting, please post your experience that you were interviewed in the US embassy without appoinment letter or packet 4. That the US embassy, after they went there (July 7), gave them a medical referral (scheduled July 12) and were scheduled to go back to US embassy (July 18) for the another interview. These people do not have an appoinment letter, what they did was they inquired thru NVC and NVC confirmed their interview schedule. The other one was advised by her agency of the interview schedule.

I think "interview first before medical exam" was not the issue Dale and I were "arguing".

Hope this helps.
