August interview

[munchy 0]

my case is still at the NVC we returned a checklist response for the I864 on the 1st but they just entered it in the system on the 6th . we called them everyday but they said our case is being reviewed so we must wait 2-4 weeks for a reply i know sometimes its shorter than that but if our case is approved do you think we would still get an August interview date

however i dont see why they should take 2-4 weeks to review 1 single document when everything else in our case is correct it should probably take 1 day

Have you heard anything since?

I also sent them the DS230 a couple of days ago and haven't received a response. I figure I'll give them until Monday morning then call & send a follow-up email.

Edited: I just realized you're talking about NVC, not the US Embassy in Jamaica.

The one RFE we received took about 10 days to process. It probably delayed my wife's visa by about 2 - 3 weeks total. What I found out about the interview scheduling is that if you do not get an interview date by the 15th of the current month, most likely you will have to wait for the next scheduling period. NVC GENERALLY schedules during the first two weeks of the month for the next month. There may be some exceptions, depending on the country where the interview is taking place. The US Embassy in Bogota is VERY busy and there a,re always visa applications that are waiting to have interviews scheduled from the previous month, so if you case is complete after the 10th you may not make on the schedule for the following month due to all of those who were approved and already waiting for appointments from the second week of the month before (that is what happened to us). Just try to be as patient as possible. There is actually an end to the visa journey. Best wishes,

Rick
