I am waiting for the Interview letter, my case was expedited and sent to the embassy on March 11, and received by them on march 13. anyone know how long it will take to get an interview date

No one can answer that. It's a embassy specific thing. Hopefully you will hear something soon.

CEAC website finally changed from AP to "Issued" on Monday, the 17th (at the end of the day). But the visa is still at the embassy (Manila). So now we're just waiting for 2GO to pick it up and deliver it. Hope it doesn't stay stuck in a stack of other visas at the embassy for much longer, not sure why it's still there... Oh well...

how do you know they start scheduling next week? so for those of us who have gotten case completes up til now have to wait to next week to be assigned an interview date?

Because I been falling this for over 2 years and monitor the embassies and have manned this thread throughout. Up until January 2013 scheduling was always done the 2nd week of the month (some operators at NVC still say that).

Then they stopped January 2013 and on the 28th started scheduling and its been like that since now the last few days of the previous month for the next month.

Some embassies keep scheduling open all month because they are less busy. Thus a person from Iceland getting case complete and interview same day. Some countries like UK, Canada, Philippines fill up fast fast.

You'll see next week people will come back after calling NVC and say I got my date. The letter usually comes shortly after within hours.

Than others start calling NVC and asking about their embassy.

You have to wait and see yes and hope you are one of the ones in the queue. There's alot of people out there.

The embassy send the calendar of slots open for IR1/CR1 and NVC starts filling them in. When full or they run out of folk they are done. So yes you have to wait for scheduling to start.
