NVC and Interview stage for CR-1/IR-1

[yhang 20]

Hello everyone! I was just wondering how long it took you to finish the NVC process and how long did you get your interview date? Hubby called and they said that it will take 20 business days to review the AOS, another 20 business days for the IV packet, and another 20 business days for Case Complete. That's too long huh?

How long did yours take? We sent both packets on May 17 and hubby called and they said that it wasn't entered into their system yet. Plus, they also said that we won't likely get a June date interview. They said that the cut off is from the 1st-15th of every month. Meaning, if you got case complete before May 15 - you'll have June interview. Before June 15 - that will be July already.

I am so confused.. Please share your experience.. Thank you!

ours was sent March 30 (AOS) and April 3 (visa application form and civil documents), the case was completed on April 16, actually it didnt take them 20 days to complete my case and on April 26 we got interview schedule of June 3, 2011.

Maybe at the end of the month, you will get an email regarding you interview schedule assuming no RFEs on the documents you submitted at the NVC, you would likely get 2nd week of July schedule if not first week of July.

I dont agree when u said 20 days for aos and another 20 days for visa application and another 20 days for schedule.

Since you mentioned you submitted both set of documents on same day, count 20 days from the day NVC received it thats when they complete your case (provided no RFEs). When case was completed, it will take 2 weeks before you get an interview schedule and the schedule they give you is 30 days ahead.

I hope this helps.

so no need to call bug NVC about the interview date? they'll just email it?

yes, its no use calling them because they set interview base on the date of completion and the availability of slot.

don't worry just keep on checking your inbox and you will likely to receive an email, when you get an email call NVC to reverify the schedule.

Some people's post here said they keep bugging NVC for their interview and they say it actually work, but I doubt it, maybe they bugged NVC for 2 weeks till they receive interview date and assumed that it was because they called NVC.

so just keep hanging...
