The I-130 is filed with the embassy/consulate. The interview happens after the petition is approved.

You will have to make two trips

There is an appointment to file the I-130 petition. The petitioner (US citizen) is required to attend

Once the petition is approved the immigrant applies for the visa

Once the paperwork is received and processed the Consulate will schedule an interview. The applicant (non-US citizen) is required to attend

Hello everyone...

I'm filing for DCF (once again). Kaffy, how are things going on your end?

My green card was approved some time in August 2008, but since it's only good for 6 months and e we decided to delay our move, it has now expired. So we're repeating the whole process ALL OVER AGAIN!

hdouthit, there is sort of an interview when your husband files the I-130, but the main immigrant visa interview will be after the I-130 has been approved and all the paperworks have been done (as kaffy has mentioned). In my experience, it took approximately 3 months to complete the whole process from the date of filing the Petition. And we filed from Perth, so it might be at least a week faster if you are filing it in the east coast.

****

June 10, 2008 - Filed I-130 at the Perth Consulate

June 23, 2008 - Made a follow up email enquiry, was told "petition will not be approved until a background check is performed on you and you have cleared that process under the Adam Walsh Act."

July 3, 2008 - Received communication that husband's Adam Walsh clearance request was sent on June 23, 2008.

July 3, 2008 - Received PACKET 3 on email!!! soon after previous email.

July 9, 2008 - Saw GP for a varicella shot. Will need to get the 2nd dose after 4 weeks.

July 14, 2008 - Medical appointment.

July 20, 2008 - Fingerprints taken (finally!)

July 21, 2008 - Sent application for Australian name and fingerprint check.

July 22, 2008 - Sent DS-230 Parts I & II .

Aug 5, 2008 - Sent DS-2001 and supporting documents (minus Aus Police clearance)

Aug 11, 2008 - Received Australian Police Clearance

Aug 14, 2008 - Received PACKET 4!

Aug 26, 2008 - Visa Interview... VISA APPROVED!!!
