I wonder if I will get case complete this week or not.. Trying to stay optimistic!

Congratulations!!!

There's no standard duration before an interview date is assigned, it depends entirely on where your CC date falls relative to the monthly interview scheduling, which happens at the end of one month and early into the next. Right now you're waiting for the round of scheduling beginning end of this month.

So, I should hear before the end of August but perhaps next week?

You might hear late next week, people were receiving interview dates around the 24th-25th last month so it's possible. With CC today I would expect you to have an interview date assigned in the first round of scheduling, which should be done within, say, the first week of August. Hopefully you'll get your date sooner Take a look at UK interview trends: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbvTEwLyHz1dEhlZjdKczRMRmJrSnc5MTk1SkVrYVE&usp=sharing#gid=0

When the same people at work are like "Mrs. Tobin! When are you going to America? Has your husband forgotten about you? LOLOLOL" ...*cries*

Ooooooh no!

It says 20 business days on the checklist response sheet, but they'll say it's up to 30 business days. (Also due to their backlog).

Worth calling to request a supervisor review..? I think I know the answer!

AOS fee is now N/A!!!! calling now...

all the best ,call call call

CASE COMPLETE!!!!!

Still got a checklist (wrong number of immigrants, which is strange as it was not brought up on the last one!) however they are scheduling an Interview...

I got Recce (? sounded like a woman) and was told that i would be given a months notice but she wouldn't tell me when I would hear .... Although I was only tilt that he/she was not informed that the August interview slots were closed yet so fingers crossed.!

How long do you usually have to wait to be told the interview date?

congrates,hard journey over

[A & Y 15]

Congrats! What was your AOS scan date?

It was June 5th. They are taking long... 40 days to the scan date.

this wait is just dreadful! our one year anniversary is next week and we wont be together :'( and we havent seen eachother since December :'( :'(

[Married4Life13 38]

I know! This is my first piece of luck in a process that has been completely heartbreaking. My heart (and indignation) goes out to those of you waiting since June. Please know I wish you all the best! And if you haven't, get your Senator involved; it can't hurt...

Also, who even knows, I'll believe it when I can actually make the payment...

Glad to hear you were finally able to pay it!!

This is interesting-- when I was preparing my husband's IV packet a few weeks ago I heard a similar rumor floating around (that the translations can't be done by the beneficiary or the petitioner) but no one on this forum responded when I asked for verification, and I couldn't find that any official source said anything about it... so I sent in my own (petitioner) translations-- we will see if anything comes up. Although it was more a case of being on the safe side, officially I did not need translations, as the documents were in the official language of the country where the interview will take place... and I sent a translation of the birth certificate but not the apostille attached to it-- I hope that doesn't annoy anyone. But I was tired of being fearful about every little thing that MIGHT cause a checklist, so I decided to be optimistic that whoever reviews the documents will do their job as they should... If I get any negative feedback on either of those things I will definitely let folks here know... good luck to everyone trying to figure these requirements out.

I just called NVC and talked to an agent named Lea. According to her, anyone (including the petitioner and beneficiary) can translate a document as long as you include the "certification by translator" sentence. http://www.uscis.gov/.../general-tips-assembling... Then, you'll need to get it notarized by a notary public.

However, I remember reading some people's comments on this issue. They had no problem translating by themselves and didn't even get their documents notarized.
