I'd love to have an interview mid or late-April... but maybe that's unreasonable, since my case complete was only 10 days ago :unsure: More likely May, I guess.

I've been trying not to call every day because half the time I just find it depressing! I also find it nerve-wracking when I don't call though, because then I wonder if maybe it's already been assigned and I just don't know it yet. I wish London would post an interview schedule like Mumbai, but I haven't been able to find one!

USCIS (221 days)
07-13-2011 -- I-130 sent
07-15-2011 -- I-130 NOA1 received in the mail
02-21-2012 -- I-130 NOA2 approved

NVC (26 days)
02-24-2012 -- NVC receives application
03-21-2012 -- Case completed at NVC

Consulate (50 days)
04-05-2012 -- Interview date assigned
05-01-2012 -- Medical
05-21-2012 -- Interview - Approved
05-25-2012 -- Received visa
