case closed at NVC>WHAT NEXT?

[maimuni726 0]

My case was closed last week at the NVC after one year and one day! I know that they schedule the interview with the embassy in Georgia, then they contact my husband, but what do I do in the mean time? Aren't they supposed to let me know when the interview is as well? I asked for an expedite so the interview can be in Feb, and they emailed me back saying my request is in review, aren't I supposed to get something in the mail as well about the case being closed?

For the case complete, typically it's only those doing EP that get an email saying the case is complete. There have been a few cases of non-EP folk getting a case complete email, but don't rely on it. If you've confirmed with an operator that your case is closed, then it's complete.

Your case is now in queue for an interview date to be scheduled. The time for this to happen varies by country. Sometimes you find out a few days later, other times it's a few weeks, and then for the really backlogged countries, even months. As far as I know, Georgia isn't backed up, so it should just be a few days/weeks. When an interview date is scheduled, an email is sent out to both the petitioner and beneficiary (if you gave both email addresses to an operator at the beginning of the NVC process). But I would suggest calling NVC and DOS every single day to find out faster. The email servers are delayed by a day or two (I've even seen a week).

And until the date is scheduled, there's really nothing you can do except prepare for the medical and interview.
