Okay....I am not sure that i understand what i means when the NVC ask for Part I & II of the DS-230...I thought that the part II goes with my wife when she goes for her interview. SO what does that mean? Does it mean the NVC will schedule the interview??

General rule of thumb.....

Those that are applying for an Immigrant Visa in Albania, Canada, Lebanon, Philippines, Turkey, United Arab Emirates or on the continent of Africa and are required to submit the DS-230 pt I & II, the NVC schedules the interview. Those applying elsewhere and are required to submit part I, the Embassy will schedule the interview.

Edited because I ooopsed and got it wrong way around..sorry shortie

So clarify for me Aussiewench please.

I am in Canada, so when you say the NVC schedules the interview (in Montreal in my case - IR-1) does that mean you get through any quicker or do you have to wait in line with those being scheduled by the consulate for other visa types?

Thanks,

Ed

Oh, you wait!!! lol If you do a search you will see the time lines for CR-1/ir-1 for Mtl. Mtl does not even know you exist until NVC sets the interview and fwds your info to them and to you. Best of luck

Yeah, I have seen the timelines unfolded - you just pray for a 'get out of jail free' card, ya know.
