So how long is it taking to get an interview letter these days? Anybody know an average off the top of their head?

Come join us in the interview thread! There's a spreadsheet for that, too! :-D

I tried to email nvc about agent of choice, and gmail (! Seriously) bounced back. Gmail. Some nonsense about poor server reputation on the bounce error. You'd think gmail would pass their muster.

Just grumbling here at one more thing

I had the same issue, it bounced too. I have no idea why, Can someone give suggestions what to do?

I love spreadsheets SO MUCH. It's a sickness. The sheet I made for my solo trip to London was a thing of beauty. I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes them

Just lurk there, it's a great spot for info You can access the spreadsheet anytime you want regardless of your case status.

Nooo, I don't have my interview scheduled and I was welcomed with open arms! You can complete the form to get added to the spreadsheet there, too. It's also a great way to guesstimate your interview date :-D

Not at all. Part of the spreadsheet is to track those with case completes and are still waiting for interview dates. So, join, join!

Oh, yes, don't worry, you're definitely not the only one. I'd say like half my Google Drive is spreadsheets, lol. Thank goodness they don't take up a lot of room, otherwise I'd have to always be buying more storage, lol.

Congratulations to all the folks who've recently had case completes.

It has been a very long process for us (and many others), as we lodged our application in April 2013 and still do not have a CC. The USCIS became heavily burdened at that time because Obama called on the agency to adjudicate a new immigration benefit called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Thus putting all of the I-130's to the back of the line. The young adults (DACA) did not need to to be processed with this urgency, - as they are all living, working and schooling in the US presently. Unfortunatley, this decision caused families and loved ones who were (and still are) processfing I-130's to be apart for inhumane, excessive periods of time. Another ill-advised government decision was to centralize i-130 processing and stop Embassies and Consulates abroad from accepting filings. And then adding insult to injury...pushing all said applications to the NBC. Most of us on this forum experienced being transferred out of the NBC to one the processing centers. Thus causing monumental delays.

These governmental agencies, that are paid for by us, were created to make the lives of ordinary American citizens a little bit better. The current system is archaic, cumbersome and wasteful. And of course, - lacking decent, helpful customer support. Hopefully there will be change soon.

Thankfully, there is Visajourney...And many members on this site, who are willing to take the time and help others out through this process. Saylin's wiki and this forum have been a great help.

And so we continue to wait, going on 16 months. Hopefully, we get our CC soon too.

Wishing you the best of luck. May the CC come very quickly!

CASE COMPLETE as of June 18th!!!

So happy right now!!! Didn't catch the name of the operator, she told me that my case was going to be sent to the embassy shortly, because of my expedited interview request.

Thank you everybody for the support and advice and special thanks to Saylin!!!! This would have been impossible without you

Good luck to all of you who are still waiting!!!! I'll stay here to support you!

Congrats! What did you request expedited interview? I had requested expedited processing earlier but they rejected it.

Funny story, I was just asked for the 8 millionth time when my husband was coming home. I yelled "I DON'T KNOW!" Everyone in the office turned and gave me a look.

Maybe now people will stop asking.

Well done my friend, well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish there was a clapping emote.

I was so upset when I heard about the checklist, I had to divert my emotions in the right direction. I also emailed, http://oig.state.gov/hotline/ and reported NVC for Fraud, Waste and Abuse.
