Recent I-130 Approvals (Nov. /Dec.) - NVC Process

[SankuNiku 0]

We got a February 26 interview date from the Mumbai Consulate for the K-3 interview. Not pleased with the lateness of the date but I guess I made it in before they schedule March. Hoping that I may be able to get a better interview date through CR-1 process.

Has anyone ever received an interview date from the NVC that was earlier than the one given by Consulate for K-3?

Congrats on getting it done and landing a February date!

OMG!!!! Of course it is!!!!How long do we have to wait and beg for ourselves to get a speedy process!!!!

Have patience all I can suggest....

By the way, to all India filers, I want to know, is it a NORM for Indian benificiaries to get an interview date so far away? or it is applicable for every country?

Thanks Desiman. Not completely done. Still waiting for NVC to complete our case, and find out if I could get a better interview date from them. I'll start calling them on Monday as all our docs were received today. I'll give them one day grace period.

About India interviews, I really don't have an answer Sonissharmin. I guess it's just a factor of the Mumbai Consulate handling so many applications. While I don't like how far away our interview date is, it looks to be the norm for people in our situation. Glad to have a date, and I know time will fly by regardless of what happens.

Hoping that you can get a nearer date in Dhaka.

Oh, I see. I didn't even look at the signature. Hope you get earlier or the same... who knows how they operate.

Update:)

DS3032 accpeted in the system

CMNB

There is a good news on my birth certificate, there is a law under registration of Birth and Death in India, in case of dicrepancy in the orignal records, If both parents and two Gazetted ( Read Government) employees give an affidavit stating the correct Date of Birth, corrections can be made in the register....

YEPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My dad is already at the Registrar office...

I am just praying that I get my DOB Certificate by wednesday

Aman or anyone else, how do you know when DS-3032 has been generated? I have to see if NVC has received my application.

Thanks,

MariaSH

Hey cmnb, did you talk to someone or the AVR says they received it? I called just now and that stupid thing still says "No record". I'll call again to see if someone can tell me if they have it. I got it till midnight to bug them! Thanks for the update.

Up to 2 weeks to get into the NVC system is about normal. Beyond that...there's a problem.

If you're not in the system within 2 weeks of getting approved (maybe allow an extra week for the holidays) then your file may be lost somewhere.

NVC should be on your speed dial....if you're trying to get through as fast as possible...or if you have nothing better to do than constantly check on your case.

Either one is a good excuse to call....it's our tax dollars (and application fees) at work.

LingLing - i was reading your NVC guide and noticed that there is no mention of sending in a photocopy of all the documents as well with the originals/certified. can you please include that also. just a suggestion!

Greetings cmnb, I'm not sure that I'm following you.

Why would you need to send in duplicates?

It is suggested that you keep 2 photocopies of the entire package, and that one is in the hands of the beneficiary.

It is weird. I don't understand. I've already called VSC and they said they've sent it.

So given the holidays, I'd say if it's not in by 9th, I am raising hell with both offices with constant calls until they tell me they have my applications. Driving me nuts.
