If you really would like to know, I can tell you - another tip :star:

Loto

I would love to know. Share your tip, you tip-sharing you.

The only thing I could do is look at the last few people that had interview at Dhaka Embassy. They took about 215 days from NOA1. Byt that estimation, my wife will be scheduled for an interiview at the end of November or early December. But this is just pure estimation. Tell me your tip, Loto-ji.

OK, here it is.

It may be useful only to some consulates where it publish the immigrant visa appointment list.

1) Pick some 10 or 20 IR1/CR1 case# from the recent appointment list with the actual interview date.

2) Feed them to NVC AVR system and listen when it was completed or forwarded to the Consulate.

3) Now do a weighted average to compute the average time.

You need patience for this!

Loto

That's too much work. And it doesn't tell you the interivew date. What's the average date between sending to embassy/consulate to interview?

IS,

It will give only an idea how long the Consulate takes for the interview after the case completion.

Normally, after case completion, NVC takes 1 to 3 weeks to schedule the interview. So the filer is eager to know his/her interview date.

So, this is the time killing exercise for them :star:

Again, it is approximate. Another option as you told, look at VJ timeline of the members in your Consulate that completed the case recently.

Dhaka Embassy interview check list says bring original birth certificate and marriage certificate. But NVC is asking for that also. How is this possible? I know NVC is going to forward the original documents to Dhaka embassy. So should we ignore the dhaka embassy check list requirement of original birth/marriage certificate. Now I'm freaking out. Here's the link to the check list. http://dhaka.usembassy.gov/uploads/images/cSkbYNJoTPZb1XGRGOviWg/Interview_checklist_IV_applicants_oct.09.pdf

That's general guideline - some people do DCF. It is applicable to them.

My IV package has FINALLY arrived at NVC - despite sending it via express post it still took nearly two weeks to arrive... bah humbug. I should have forked over the extra cash for courier service. Oh well, you live and you learn. Now comes the wait for SIF and then interview... Feels great to be on the last leg, but I'll feel so much better when I have an interview date - I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that I'll be able to fly home to the US with my hubby in January (He's coming out for Chrissy and New Years, yay!).

Congrats on your SIF Loto! Good luck your your interview appointment, I hope they schedule you one as early as possible. I will be praying that I get SIF in as short a time as you!
