After 2 checklist letters, I'm finally done with the NVC. How long does it typically take to schedule an appointment. Also, how will I know when they have sent the paperwork to the embassy?

I sent it on Jun 16, NVC receivced on the 20th. I called NVC on Jul 6th and they said it was received on Jul 1 and to allow 4-6 weeks for processing. I called back later on and spoke with a rep and I was told that everything was complete. I haven't received an email or anything stating that is was closed.

The time it takes for an interview date to be scheduled varies by consulate/embassy. Some people get their date the next date, others a few weeks, some months later. It all depends on how busy the consulate/embassy is. The day after (or shortly afterwards) your interview date is scheduled, NVC mails out your case to the consulate/embassy. The AVR will update within a few days on the date it was sent out. You can also confirm with an operator.

You won't be getting a case complete email. Only those doing EP will get this email. The next, and last, email you're getting is of your interview date.

two things related to using the phone:

1. NVC knows all till the casefile leaves their building. Call them, ask for casefile status.

2. DoS Hotline knows all from the time it left NVC till the time the Visa Packet was delivered after interview day. Call them, ask for casefile status.

Use the phone, please?

Thanks, I'm so hoping I'm not waiting months for an interview. This process is exhausting!!

uhm. Click yer flag under yer name - this drops you to yer portal for Haiti.

On left panel, click on IR-1/CR-1 visa timelines. Once there,

sort on NOA-2 date, then study the timelines of those who came before you.

It's useful, I SWEAR.
