Languaeladki,

When people say that they have been approved, it means that they have been approved over on the American side. THe application still has to goto NVC and then over to the benificiary's country, then has to go through some more paperwork, then interview. Everyone has an interview to be fully approved. Sorry if you were confused.

An Approval simply means that USCIS approves the petition and the benecifiary is eligible to apply for a Visa. But depends on the process, NVC will handle the approved case for a while and once the case is complete at the NVC, they will forward the case to the US Embassy/Consulate. A USCIS approval is not a Visa. The Visa will be issued by the Embassy, after the interview. Sometimes, Embassy issues a visa right away during the interview, sometimes they will ask for more documents before they can issue the visa.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

languageladki,

Approved for what?

If you mean your petition, an interview is not part of the process. If you mean the visa application, an interview is a required part of the process.

(Or perhaps you have been reading posts about adjustment of status and have posted in the wrong forum.)

There are cases where embassies are giving the beneficiary the visa without an interview when it is a clear-cut case and the embassy thinks there is no need for an interview and the embassy is backed up with other cases. I think this all up to the embassy. Some interviews are just scheduled so the embassy can present the visa.

miker32us,

Can you point out such a case?

A few years ago Powell put out a memo stopping such practice for visa types for which it was bing done - and the K and immigrant visas were not such types even then.

My wife lives in Taiwan and was told by other Taiwanese who have gone through this K and CR process that the interview is sometimes just a quick in and out, here is your visa. I also read that on another immigration website that this has been the case for straighforward applications although I am not sure what that definition would be.

Who is Powell?

miker32us,

A brief visa interview is not uncommon, especially at consulates where marriage fraud is not a big problem. That's very different from no visa interview.
