They usually schedule at the end of April beginning of May for June, I'm not really sure what is teh cut off date and it also depends on the embassy.

I know Casablanca has a big number of applicants every month so it will be hard to have a second round of scheduling in mid may for June. Most likely it will be in July, but we'll see, still hoping!!!!!

I'm with you etrangais. This EP I'm dealing with is sooooooo slow, I'm hoping for June interview too, but I'm beginning to think that won't happen. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since I filled out DS-260 and emailed my IV documents and still nothing. Waiting not so patiently. I've decided I'm not even going to call them anymore, I'm just going to wait for the CC email.

they reviewed my IV package... they say I sent a copy of my husbands birth cert but I DID NOT... on the phone with the lawyer now to make triple sure... but of course they are too busy. I swear Im so pissed.

also checklisted me for police certificate but I had that removed because it is not required at NVC level... so that is fine but Im still pissed

I'm with you etrangais. This EP I'm dealing with is sooooooo slow, I'm hoping for June interview too, but I'm beginning to think that won't happen. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since I filled out DS-260 and emailed my IV documents and still nothing. Waiting not so patiently. I've decided I'm not even going to call them anymore, I'm just going to wait for the CC email.

When I did EP they usually acknowledged my files barely within the 20 business day time frame, but once they acknowledged it they adjudicated it right away. So as soon as you receive the email about your IV being in the system I would call the next day.

Canada is still schedueling for June as far as I know, so maybe youll get lucky!

We should also add that we are grateful for the support and guidance received from the many wonderful people who inhabit this site.

While we are not one of the more prolific posters, we have visited often. The information, thoughtfully composed and written guides and wiki’s (thank you Saylin and all others who have and continue to contribute) have proven an invaluable resource and have allowed us to move through our time at the NVC without any “real” checklists.

But most of all we appreciate each and every one of you who are on this journey with us. You have been the source of more comfort and understanding then one could ever hope or expect to receive from a “stranger.” We acknowledge you and send our very best to you and those you love!

Wohoooooooooooooooo :dance: CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED... not as excited as the people with interviews already (CONGRATS btw!!) but I'll get there..

That still deserves a big congrats!:)

Im still curious as to how will i find out when my case is sent from vsc and when it is recieved will nvc email me? I will try and call again today to see if theres any news.i got approved april 1st

Just call the NVC periodically at the number listed in Saylin's wiki, as it can take a few weeks to get from the Service Center to the NVC.

Aw i thought you wouldn't after all there are so many people... I really hope it works i just emailed them... Hope that at least one good thing can come out of this awful situation... Anyways Thanks!!!

Emails seem to take a month to be read by NVC. Maybe this deserves a phone call instead? Anyone know what the best procedure is?
