Hi! I have not received my NL1 yet. I just got the email with my number. I mailed them the 2 forms and 2 photos on Aug. 3rd and they received them on Aug. 6th. I also emailed them yesterday (24 Aug) to ask them to confirm received of the documents...But nothing in the mail yet.
Do I actually need the NL1? I will be doing the interview at the consulate office here - I am guessing from my number sometime in January.
Thank God for finally having your case #. We're likely to have interview in the same month. Yes, you'll take the NL1 to your day of interview as it is stated in mine. But I don't think it will be compulsory, because not everybody will have the first NL1 as a result of postal loss. My advice to you is, in some few days after they reply your e-mail, just send them a mail asking them if without the NL1 at the day of interview will have any adverse effect on you. Peace! Benniit.
