From readiness letter to interview date, how long CURRENTLY?

[FrozenGlitter 1]

My fiance's medical records were recieved and status changed to ready on December 5th or 6th. However, we had to get some stuff in order and didn't send his readiness letter till Dec. 24. When we checked the site yesterday it said they're currently setting interviews for letters recieved on or before Jan. 8th. Based on the current times those of you who have recently gotten assigned dates, how long should we expect it to be to have a date? I know it can take 6 weeks to hear back and another few weeks to have the date but is it currently taking that long? If they're processing readiness letters from this week and earlier that should be a good sign, right?

Our petition expires Feb. 9 and I know I can send in a new letter confirming my continued interest in bringing him here, but we are hoping to have him come here the very end of March and marry 2 weeks later. So is it still likely to happen? Or are we looking more likely at an interview date of late Feb/early March now? (He needs to give notice at work so having getting his visa and moving here the following week isn't a possibility.)

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but you can always call the DOS Visa Unit and ask if the interview has been scheduled! (202) 485-7600. You need the same information as when you call the NVC. That's how we got our date.

Since London has been so screwy with with their letters, it's better you call on the off chance your interview letter never arrives.

It can take 6 weeks to have the interview letter in hand. Then your interview may be 3-4 weeks after that, or it may be quicker. Gai is right, however. Given London's been screwy, check in with DOS and see if they have your date assigned.

I will call them this week. My fiance checked the CEAC site but all it said was that he will be ready to interview when scheduled, and was updated 12/24, when he sent his readiness form. Gai, I see your medical was dec. 2nd and your interview is this week...so did it take about 6 weeks total from when you sent in your readiness form till your date? When (if at all) did you get your interview letter?

I called DOS and they told me my date which is jan 29 and still not got packet 4 yet

We sent our readiness form a couple days prior to the medical, but we did get the letter on 19 Dec. I called the DOS a few days before that because I hadn't seen any updates on the CEAC site.
