Let's just hope for the best. End of the day is that we're done with NVC, which is the most challenging part in my opinion.

I was told by NVC that my embassy schedules interviews during the 2nd week of each month for the following month. My documents arrived at the embassy of Yaoundé, Cameroon on Monday Feb 9th so i'm pretty sure i'm getting scheduled for next month since my stuff got there just in time (beginning of the 2nd week of the month).

Check how the scheduling works at your embassy, this might give you an idea of where you are in that process. I hope you both get interviewed in March.

Cheers

Thanks :) I was led to believe that the embassy provides the NVC with dates and NVC books the interviews, is this not correct?

That's also what i thought, but Adam, an NVC rep explained to me that when a case is complete at the NVC, the embassy is notified and docs are sent over to them. Embassy then collects those docs and assigns then interview dates in the order they were received. This is only done during the 2nd week of the month, at least at the Yaoundé embassy. When a date is assigned, the embassy communicates with the NVC who then informs us through P4.

That's my understanding of the process, it might be variant depending on different embassies or consulates.

I hope this doesn't make it even more confusing for you...
