Our DS-230 with supporting documentation was delivered by Fedex on August 1st 2011. How long on average does it take the NVC to acknowledge receipt of DS-230 and does the AVR message change? The second question is how long on average does it take the NVC to process the D-230? Thanks in advance for any replies

My AOS / I-864 was processed in 7-10 business day. I'm pretty sure, if there's no problem with your DS-230 and you attached all the required documents, It should 7-10 business day as well. I'm going to find out this week. :)

Please don't rely on the AVR. Talk to a human. They should let you know the status of your case. AVR messages are a few days delayed. I sent in both my AOS and IV at the same time on the 25th of July and NVC received on the 27th. They reviewed my AOS first and two days later, they had my IV package done. I hope the best to you all. Keep calling.

Fantastic news, case complete according to AVR 10th August 2011!!!. Phoned the NVC and asked what the likely interview date would be? and was told that unfortunately their was no availability in August but would have to wait until the second week in September to see if it might happen in September. This does not make any sense to me, as I would have thought they have the Johannesburg consulate's available dates into the future, and would be able to schedule the interview even if it was October. Anybody know how the system works and how long it should take before getting an interview date?

I phoned this morning and the operator told me that we have missed the September interview dates, and would have to phone back 20th September to see if we made the October dates. Can anyone confirm if the NVC does do continuous interview scheduling. Case complete was 10 August 2011. Has anyone got any experience with interview dates at the Johannesburg consulate? The timeline data has very few cases loaded to really get any clear idea. Thanks in advance for any replies.
