I think it varies from consulate to consulate. My own modest research from CR1/IR1 for the lagos consulate shows about 10 weeks after the case is complete till an interview is granted.

Cheers!

In west African embassies, how early do CR1/IR1 or K visa applicants get an interview after Case completion from NVC?

weeks, months....... Please share with us your experience.

:dance: :dance: :dance:

K-1's don't get their interview's scheduled through NVC, but my case got in Dakar on August 11, and we had an interview on September 08. Don't know how helpful that is, though.

Hi Teranga,

My experience was for an IR-5 in Dakar (process should be similar, I think). I believe the case got completed end of August, can't remember the exact date, but I know I mailed the DS-230 and all the civil docs on 8/21. I got an e-mail from the NVC on 9/11 informing me of the appointment scheduled for 10/08 in Dakar. Hope this helps!
