You're supposed to get the email within a few hours of scheduling occurring. I suggest following the July interview thread to see when people are posting updates, it'll help you gauge what's going on. I didn't have to call to get my date, I had a tip off from another UK member that they received an email and mine followed within the hour. It's prime time for scheduling, so maybe call on Friday to see what's going on if you don't hear anything by then -- just make sure your consulate is still scheduling for July, etc.

do you get the case complete email first? Or can you get the Interview date before that?

Oh my this sucks! I would have thought it would be in Madrid at least, it's still closer than Paris! But after this hopefully you will be done with NVC nonsense (at least for a while)! Hope you'll find the info about the doctor soon, maybe you should pm a former portuguese VJ who had his interview recently!

I haven't seen any interview scheduled for july in paris yet, perhaps you can have an early july interview!! Can't wait for my case to be complete and to know when the interview is scheduled :'-(

You are almost there!! They were working on 5/8 yesterday! So you should call them tomorrow and the rest of the week. Pretty sure you will get Case Complete this week if they keep working at this quicker pace.

And you just reminded me that Sandraperry (another VJ member) had sent me info about the medical in Portugal lol. I totally had forgotten since it was awhile ago. Glad you mentioned it. Need to go thru my email now lol.

The case complete email is delayed so long, I'm sure some people get the interview notice first if their timing is just right. Folks like you who've just received case complete have a good shot at getting the interview email first I would think!

Case complete email typically takes 7 days to receive whereas the interview letter is typically received within a day or so (but I heard it's getting a bit longer now). So, yes, definitely possible.

whoever are waiting for the IV fee invoice, this is the detail I got from NVC.

I called last night, they said now the IV fee invoice will take 30 days after you paid your AOS fee which is pretty lame..

and they will review AOS doc within 30 days from the day you sent it. :clock::clock::clock:

I did EP, emailed AOS on 5/20...when I called last night, they said no AOS in system which is normal... （I don't know if that is normal）....

Hope this helps whoever are waiting for IV fee invoice.

This sucks! I sent my AOS yesterday and it was delivered this morning. Waiting for IV to be available.

Althought the wait 30 days is a generic response from NVC. Spreadsheet and some posts suggest 2-3 weeks for IV post May....

I am so unlucky. For i130, USCIS was backlogged, had to wait retarded amount compared to those who sent papers afterwards. And It seems starting May, they are backlogged at NVC. April was fine so whatever the hell happened in May to cause this delay!!!

You are right. Anything I did in April was on speed. Everything was invoiced within a few days. I think the fact that USCIS is now approving people quicker has backlogged NVC. They probably weren't expecting to receive such a crazy amount of approvals. May was a bad a month, but they seem to have people working overtime now. So maybe they'll catch up in June. There should be a change for sure.

He is a US citizen, lived in the UK, now moved back to the US. I am French, we met in 2010 in the UK and got married in March 2013 in France.
