Who has priority for appointments?

[S and S 12]

I was thinking about this and wondering how they decide who gets scheduled first. Does it go by the Case complete date or the Priority date that we submitted the I-130? Just curious and trying to figure this one out.

Someone who has an already scheduled interview is not "bumped' by someone who case completed after with an earlier priority...

That is not what I mean. I am talking about while everyone is waiting to get an interview date and all the cases are complete. Like some consolutes you may wait months before getting an interview appointment. This is not bumping someone who already has an appointment.

in classifications where it is an immediately available visa number, the priority date is meaningless... my guess is first done.. first served

That is what I am afraid of. This whole process is set up for some people to get everything fast and for others to wait an extrodinary length of time. I shouldn't be suprised that I have many months to go before an embassy appointment will be available
