Hello there,

CR1 has been approved and the NVC closed our case on (7/2/2012), now they told me we have to wait for an interview to be scheduled with the US Embassy of San Salvador, does anyone know about how long it take to get scheduled in? I thought there was first priority for spouses of US Citizen? Please let help me out here its going to be a month since the case was closed and we haven't gotten an interview date, could there be something wrong with our case?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

The date the NVC schedules the interview will depend on just how busy the IV unit at the Embassy in San Salvador is.
