Recommended Posts

How many people out there are waiting on the nvc to assign an interview date? At every state theses always some sort of issue for us, I'm assuming this stage will be no different. Once we get to the consulate I feel we are safe. All the reviews say the staff is really good.

It seems a lot of people are waiting. I wonder what the deal is.

it's very usual. tons of applications get processed everyday at NVC. But how to interview date is assigned is totally dependent on how quickly your foreign consulate gives NVC a list of available time slots to fill. It's a manual process which takes from few days to a month in most cases.

I understand it varries by location, but it seems most people from most locations are still waiting. Does this mean they now have to wait until next month to simply learn an interview date that will be another month away? I really don't understand why this isn't automated anyways.

I have been waiting for 3 weeks since approval. I called NVC on 20 Aug and they said that Sept was full... no more appointment dates left and that I had to call back in Sept to see if my wife made it onto the Oct list. They are "waiting for capacity" from the embassy.
