Hi,

Does anyone knows if:

1. interviews for US embessy in Sydney are only scheduled in the first 2 weeks of the month?

2. NVC is the entity scheduling the interview date.

Many thanks! :)

Generally, for IR1/CR-1, the NVC schedules the interview.

However, from some of your other posts that I have read you got your NOA2 pretty quick - leading me to believe that your spouse is currently living in Australia with you? I'm not sure if this changes the process or not.

The general 'spiel' from the NVC is that they only schedule interviews in the first two weeks. That isn't always the case, although it is true for the majority of cases.

You were only just told that you got your CC (case complete) in the last couple of days, so in a normal case I would guess that you wouldn't be scheduled for an interview until early September ( and they usually schedule for about a month or so in advance, making the interview October-ish). But like I said, your process may be slightly different.

I thought from another post that the NVC told you they were forwarding your case to the Consulate for them to assign the interview. Have you since heard differently??

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I do have my husband living with me in Australia - do you think that it changes things??

Haven't heard anything since Wed 15/08... but hopefully The "spiel" is not true and I can get some communication from the NVC next week.... keep you're fingers cross for me :unsure: My husband is leaving for the US soon and I really hate to think of being apart from him for a long time
