Case cleared NVC on 5 November, called NVC today (was calling weekly) and learned my wife's interview is 28 January - a year and 6 days after NOA1. Although I'm a bit bummed we aren't together for our anniversary in late December I'm happy this is moving along and eager to see her thru customs at LAX.

Best of luck to all on your journey.

Hi JRF. Congrats on getting an interview date. I do have a question for you. You said you called NVC weekly to ask about the interview date. Just to clarify because I have heard of people calling NVC and calling the US Consulate here in HCMC. Which one did you call weekly? We just cleared out case at NVC today and I was thinking it would be a couple months to get an interview date. Maybe I should call weekly like you.

Hi - I called NVC - and not the consulate. It took just under a month to get an interview date, which is about what I expected. Supposedly interviews are scheduled the last week of the month and the first week of the month following. Not sure if that is true but in any event ours was scheduled during that time. If I had to guess (always risky) I would expect you will have a February interview...maybe March...depends upon how busy they are in HCM.

Good luck!

JRF you were correct. We got notice this week that our interview date has been scheduled for Feb 25th. Exciting!
