I just called NVC. they said your case was completed on 03/29/2014. then I asked about interview date, he said, First slot for May month has been completed and I can not guarantee you for the second slot for May.

Just wanted to share with you guys. I don't understand why he said I can not guarantee for second slot. I want my wife to get interview on May month because in june Visa bulletin dates can retrogress. I am F2A category from New Delhi.

Thanks

When I called on Monday I was told they're done scheduling round one, and a second round may or may not happen. That being the case you and I are probably both waiting until late April/early May before we get interview dates assigned. There's no need to call every day right now, they'll send an email with your date probably the same day they schedule it, but calling in another 3 weeks or so wouldn't hurt.

Luck of the draw with operators I think, some are much more inclined to be helpful than others. On Monday I spoke to Jim who is both extremely nice and well-known around VJ for giving above-and-beyond information. I asked if London was still scheduling and he informed me that the "first round" was done, so I naturally questioned what that meant :D I might call once more just to see if they'll tell me when a second round would occur, if it does.
