Timeline to move once I-130 and visa are approved

[psals 0]

I'm trying to plan out when it'd be best to file I-130s for my parents to move to the US. Presuming that their I-130 applications are approved within the current 5-6 month processing times, how many weeks/months on average does it take for NVC to process and call them for a consular interview? Of course, that is to the extent that there is some "average" timeline for NVC processing. Also, presuming that their visa is approved after the interview, how quickly must they wrap up their lives and move to the US?

Thank you.

After Visa is approved, they have a maximum of 6 months (temporary Visa foil) to enter POE(Port of Entry)...

As far as NVC, the fun depends on their processing times and the speed at which u provide the documents..

Well, if they have all the papers ready to be sent when NVC request them, i would say 1.5 or 2 months for NVC (if no RFE). Then, you can count 1 month minimum for the interview after the case is complete, but depending on how busy is the consulate, it could be more....

Good luck!

Thank you! Sent both I-130s in today. Now starts the long wait!
