[islandgirl80 28]

I hope they start scheduling interviews...sucks to wait..

This process has tried my patience to the very last core. I hope we all get good news by the end of the week. Keeping hope alive baby!

Hey welcome to the group. Can you fill out the form or tell me your case complete date so you can be added to the spreadsheet. Thanks.

[dwheels76 5,465]

Why do you think that? Just curious as to why you made that statement. Please understand I'm a data guy, so everything for me is about past performance, trends, analytics, etc... My previous statement was based on the past 3 to 4 months of trends, based on your spreadsheet. But we can not predict what they will do. Without a doubt, consistency and logic is missing during this entire process. I have a better chance of predicting who will win the Super Bowl, and the exact scores, or picking the 6 numbers in the correct order for the 100 million dollar lottery. Just trying to understand your reasoning.

What was the previous trend, prior to June-September? Based on your experience. Thanks in advance!

Okay here is the history of the history of the interview scheduing.

We started this thread august 2012. From August 2012 until January 2014 interviews always started 2nd week of the month without fail. You call NVC they would always say "we will start scheduling 2nd week of the month". We refute that didn't believe it. Because now and then someone from any embassy would get a date at a time when no one was getting scheduled. But it would be this embassy or that one not all of them.

But There was no round 2 that was it. Than end of January 2014 they started scheduling for the next month interviews starting about the last 3 to 4 days of the month(usually 27th or 28th) for the not preceding month but next month after that. Than June 2014 was the first time of 1st and 2nd rounds it was nice having people wait just 2 weeks. But summer is the busy season.

The same with the Case complete email it use to take a week than again January 2013 it was instant. I remember mine came while I was on the phone getting my interview date. The lady was like we sent you an email 30 minutes ago. Now we are back to 1 week from case complete.

I wonder if NVC went back to scheduling interviews once a month (since they're making lots changes recently).

I thought it was strange that they scheduled interviews on the 10th (instead of the 15th).

So maybe they decided to schedule interviews on the 10th of every month?

Maybe it wasn't because of the summer that NVC scheduled interviews twice a month?

Maybe it was because of the backlog at USCIS that they had to schedule more interviews from June, 2014 to last month?

Perhaps the backlog has been reduced so they went back to scheduling once a month?

I guess we don't know what's going on so we'll just have to wait to find out.

Maybe we get interviews tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Gosh I hope we don't all have to wait until the 10th of October for interview dates that would be brutal!!! I'm already getting millions (only a slight exaggeration) of questions a day from people at work, friends and family, they all want to hear, "so did you hear anything from immigration yet? When are you guys moving?" So tired of feeling like our lives are on hold, so ready to move on to the next stage already

But of course you are right, all any of us can do is wait and see

APPROVED!!!! (happy dance)

Interview was fairly straightforward. was asked 3 questions and heard the magical words! "You have been approved"

Here are the questions I was asked:

1) What does your husband do. I replied. She asked can you tell in more detail about his job. I did.

2) How long do you know your husband. Was it an arranged marriage or love? When did your relationship turn romantic?

3) Did you have a reception/party after your marriage. Can you show me your wedding pics?

"you have been approved"

And what better, by the time I reached home from the consulate my status is :

Issued : Your visa has been printed. Depending on local procedures at the location where you were interviewed, your visa will be mailed or available for pickup soon. If there are further questions, or if we need updated contact information, you will be contacted.

DOES THIS MEAN, i MIGHT GET MY PASSPORT AND VISA BY TODAY EVENING ITSELF?

Dont worry about yours. Mumbai Embassy is shut from tomorrow until 6th oct, That is the only reason they are processing it sooner

[KofiB 4]

Our case was complete Sept 18, we're waiting for an interview!

This is probably a silly question but I see that some of you are talking about taking a 'new police report' to the interview. Does this mean we have to apply for another one in addition to the one that we already sent to NVC about three months ago? Or, can we just take the photocopy of the first one? thanks.

Since I'm a glutton for punishment, apparently, I just called (7:20 eastern) and Lisa told me there was no appointment scheduled for us and that she'd have no way of knowing or predicting when said scheduling would happen.
