Hi there,

As per the automated NVC helpline, our case was completed on February 21st... what happens now? The machine said to wait for up to 8 weeks, but I don't know what I'm waiting for! I think we're waiting for confirmation that they've sent the case to London.

I'm a bit concerned as most cases seem to be forwarded to the embassy relatively quickly. Is 3 weeks a long time to wait for the case to be sent to London?

After it's sent how long before an interview date is generated?

What's the quickest way to find out the interview date? Does the London Consulate have a website it lists them on?

Will ringing the DOS number help, or can they only assist if the date has actually been scheduled?

Please help!!! :)

It's the same happened to us. We were very excited about what automated said that our case was completed and has been sent to embassy,we have to wait 8 weeks for further instructions. But after 8 weeks of waiting, my husband called at the embassy, and they said they havent received our record yet. It was so frustrating. So we called to NVC and talked to operator there we found out that they didn't forward our case yet to the embassy. I felt so hopeless. I've been 6 months away from my husband. It is so hard. :crying:

As far as I know, NVC will be the one that schedule an interview for CR1/IR1. I called last night and I spoke to Operator. He said my case still at NVC and I'll just wait til they schedule an appointment. Wish you luck. Keep posting! ;)

The automated voice says "if it has been 8 weeks since...., press 0 (to speak with an operator)." I know our wait goes beyond the 8 week period (today is my eighth week of waiting). I'm wondering what the operator says when you get to speak with him. Any experiences?

I think that "8 week" is one of the canned messages NVC has for all cases and all embassies.. We know the fact that all embassies have different wait periods for scheduling the interviews.

Hope you good news soon..

Yes you can call DOS. If you scroll back a few post you will find the number posted by YamSam. I would say you are very close to having your interview scheduled. All the best to you.

You can find me on FBI
