After registering for an interview at the U.S. consulate it says the interview isn't scheduled — is that normal?

I registered for an interview at the U.S. consulate, but the page says the interview is not scheduled — even though the invitation from the NVC (National Visa Center) has already arrived. Where should I look for the confirmation? The pickup office address isn’t listed anywhere, only the city. I also can’t find the delivery barcodes anywhere.

Ugh, I had the same mix-up — it showed I wasn’t registered even though the confirmation from the NVC had already arrived. It turned out you need to check through ustraveldocs in your account; everything is displayed correctly there. As for the pickup location and barcodes — they usually arrive closer to the interview or after; you shouldn’t expect them before that. By the way, there’s a collection of real interview stories on the forum 🌍 Интервью в консульстве: 10+ реальных историй и как подготовиться — they discussed similar cases there.
