Any Idea How Long?

[AWAY 24]

Does anyone (preferrably people dealing with the Jamaican consulate)Know how long the nvc takes to get an appointment date sent out? how has the time frame been for the last 3 months to now? i am really hoping to have atleast a late august, first or second week of september interview for my husband. Does anyone think they would go over into october or would that be way too late for them to assign one seeing that they finished my case last week?

I think the NVC has been taking about 2 weeks to 1 month to assign interview dates for Jamaican applicants. VERY generally speaking the interview dates for the Kingston embassy have been roughly 2 months from the 'case complete' date at NVC. My case was complete in mid-April and I got a late June interview. In your case I think a September interview is a realistic expectation. On the other hand you have to be open because you're gonna get the date you're gonna get, you know what I mean? You should probably search through the Jamaican portal and look at the timelines of IR1/CR1 applicants with interview dates assigned.

All the best and I hope your husband's interview gets assigned real soon. The waiting can be the worst part; just encourage him to take the time to be prepared for the upcoming steps.

Blessings!

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to Caribbean regional forum; OP is asking for responses from members who have gone through the US Embassy in Kingston.

Hello. Just send an email to KingstonIV@state.gov . Include your case number and the name and just simply ask for the appointment date. They will let you know the date and may attach the actual letter. Good luck!

Does it work that way for IR1/CR1 cases, or just for K1 visas? I thought that for the IR1/CR1, the appointment scheduling happens through the NVC, without the applicant emailing the embassy...?
