Interviews for Ethiopia

[A56 & A69 4]

My question is why the NVC/Ethiopian Embassy taken so damn long to schedule these interview. but no one has that answer. it bad enough we had to wait 5 to 6 month to process our petition at the USCIS. So now we are back to the long waiting game in waiting for an interview that takes on average takes 15-20 minutes. Is the Ethiopian Embassy that backlog with interviews process. So we continue to wait 4 to ?? months long and continue to call back to get the same answer over and over that your case is waiting for interview to schedule. that tell me that something is differently wrong with the system. I'm looking into this issue at a different level. At the DoS someone need to know what going on at the Ethiopian Embassy. when was the last time you known of anyone getting a interview date or NIV or IV visa in the last 6 months. u have a friend, family member etc.. I have to do some researching in to this and see what come up.

has anyone tried calling the embassy for updates? not sure if they have info but im calling this week so ill update you guys on what they said.. worse they could say is the same thing NVC says lol.

My Friend,

So when you call them you need to ask the questions we all been wondering and don't have the answer too.

1. Once my case is completed at the NVC What's the process time on getting a interview date schedule.

2. Who schedule the interview dates. is it NVC or Ethiopian Embassy? and what is that process. how do my case get's to from NVC (USA) to the AA for the next process. (is it mailed, faxed, electronic transfer) ??

LAST

3. Why is there a long time frame in getting these interview dates. is the embassy backlog on interview date to be schedule.

now you can see what/where/who is holding up the process in getting these date and completing the process. they may not even provide you or blame it on NVC or someone else. more less get you the run around.

these are the question we don't have answer too. NVC is not telling us, each time I have call I'm talking to a person who just answer the phone who maybe training another worker for the same position. just listen to voice and it tells. just try it when u call NVC next time u call.

Have a Blessing day.

It's been more than three months since I received the email but interview has not been scheduled yet. Everytime I call them, all they tell me is to wait untill they contact me and they are waiting for the embassy to send them interview slots. It's very frustrating to wait for more than three months after case is completed.

I have not seen anyone who has received this notice twice and then get their interview letter. My concern is what is the hold up between AA Emby and NVC this is very very unsat. Yes understand there issue at the CA HQ with system failure and faulty Apps. then post the necessary Notification to all concern so we can be a easy to understand theirs a problem then we can lax a bit all ready..
