Case Complete to Interview Date Communication

[rhenzhen 5]

Case closed on 08/10. Got my interview date on 08/12. Received e-mail confirmation on 08/13. A total of 3 days...

It took me 3 weeks to get an interview date after our case was complete. KRubia, I called the DOS and specifically asked if DR was backed up with scheduling appointments and I was told yes. I'm not sure if that's still the case (or ever was), but I did notice that some people whose cases were complete a month or two before mine got interview dates a month after their case was complete. My interview date is 2 months after, so maybe they have slowed down some.

Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Bocachicababe I noticed that but I also noticed some people had their case completed 4 days prior to mine got september dates and 7 days prior so i was hopeful...we will see :-)

Chennai Consulate has become as bad as Mumbai Consulate. September interview dates are all filled up (missed the September bus by a week) - will have to wait for September Interview date - minimum wait looks like is above 45 days.

I would to know the time it took for you guys to get Interview email after your case is completed at NVC. Thanks for your contributions.

About a week.

You are right - I am still obsessed with September - have to move on to October. I tried calling DOS but the wait time is 15 minutes - can't wait at office. Which is the best time/ what time can be contacted/ .....! Appreciate details.

By the way, NVC says that they can't give the October date till 2 nd week of September - I don't think it is right, as I have run the timeline reports and saw September interview dates much before August first week. Any thoughts!

No idea on DOS call times. They do close at 5 PM EST. They do not have the extended hours that NVC has.

I am sure they will start formulating by the end of this month for October Interviews.

Hi

If you call to DOS, then they will give you same answer as operator of NVC. I called three time to DOS and same response as NVC. I think still you have chance to get interview in Sep cuz NVC usually does interview for Chennai consulate up 22nd of the month. When i had same situation in July, i guy from Chennai consulate he got interview email on 24july for Aug 29.

Usually BOM consulate declare interview list on their website after 15th of the month and Chennai consulate is after 22nd of the month. I notice couple time.

so Good luck.

NavyK I just called as well the DOS and it's 15 minutes of annoying ringing so I wasn't about to wait. Any feedback from the board on the best time to call would be appreciated!

Also- i noticed that dates for September were given in july as well so I feel like the 2nd week of september isn't correct. I called NVC this AM and spoke to a guy I've spoken with before and he's always so helpful....i tend to get the most helpful people in the mornings...and he explained they try to give you a months notice and explained what seemed to be the continous scheduling idea.

Hi, just want to ask regarding the documents required by the Embassy should be translated into English?? I mean do they need to be interpreted by the sworn translator appointed by the embassy or can we just translate them by our own attorney and legalize the docs?

Please advise

Thank you

Good Job it should go faster now.

On 8/15 the operator said that September date is possible but on 8/16 (yesterday) the operator said that September is full and will have to wait for October for Chennai. Mumbai was full a week earlier.

I think the best answer is that it depends on your embassy. It can take a day or 90 + days. It is the toughest wait I have ever experienced because the NVC keeps you in the dark with no hint of when the date could be. They all say the same thing either they are all really well trained to keep their process a secret or they truly do not know which is odd. Any how Just keep holding on your day will come. All of our other Journey members here who have made it through are proof!!

Hey Guys two of my cases were complete last week and still no e-mail from NVC. I am inline for interview for my grandmother and my wife, you guys think I will have any change for September, I have been call NVC, but I see alot of you are also calling DOS, but if we get the same answer as NVC, I don't see the point of calling DOS.

Your Thoughs?
