Transcript of my phone conversation with Chennai US Consulate
Me - Hello, I am calling to find out about my Immigrant Visa Consular Processing Interview. My case number is MDR200177XXXX. Can you give me interview date please.
Her - (Checks on the computer and verifies my name)
Me - That\'s right .... that\'s me
Her - Sir, although the January interview dates have been scheduled, they have not been confirmed yet. Please call us back after two days.
Me - But, some friends of mine have already confirmed their interview dates.
Her - Sir, they will also have to call back after 2 days to confirm. Please tell them to call back to confirm.
I get frustrated, yet politely thank her and hang up.
She was giving me a bunch of BS !!!
As someone rightly pointed out, I think they are being flooded with phone calls. I think they will update their website by the end of this week.
