CR1/IR1 Case Complete - Awaiting interview (London)

[Devonian 20]

I technically consider my requests a Freedom of Information Act request and they have 10 days to respond. I have yet had to quote the government code section in my emails but if I don't hear back in 10 days they will get another email from me with legalese!!!

Ah, as the petitioner in the US you have more clout than a UK citizen over US matters.

I am curious to know how your requests would fall within the FOIA? Presumably you'd have to send a specific request to a specific email at NVC not nvcinquiry and then they might tell you what information they hold on you? Does the Act extend to releasing private information into (what they would term) the public realm, especially as that same information would contain the details of a foreign National? (Obviously US legalese is something I have yet to familiarise myself with).

The last email confirms receipt of all required documentation to NVC and that the relevant parties will be notified of an interview when one has been scheduled (pretty much using those words, it's a fairly terse note!). I don't quite see how such an email, that has not yet been issued, would fall within the parameters of the FOIA and would be interested to know from which angle you'd persue it. (Feel free to pm me if you are willing to answer but not in the public arena)

I PM'd you. However, I will say I am not requesting an email that has yet to be generated, I am requesting a case status update. When you email, make sure to include your case #, Beneficiary name DOB and Petitioner name and DOB. Responses should be timely, waiting 6 weeks for a response is unacceptable.

Thank you for the reply, I just assumed that when it comes to the visa process that there was no such thing as an unacceptable waiting time, apparently we are all supposed to be most grateful that they are letting us in at all (something I see Donald Trump has views on!!)

Yes, well, if we were all Donald Trump we could just purchase us a Senator or two and I bet this Visa process thing would go much faster!!!!

Good evening all.

My case has been completed on August 3rd and is now awaiting an interview date to be scheduled in port of Spain trinidad and tobago.. my passport will be expired on February 7, 2016 which is approximately 5+ months remaining in passport.

I will be renewing my passport next week which will take roughly about 5 business days, however the question is do I have to inform the NVC or the embassy of the change in passport numbers? Or do I just attend the interview with the new passport and inform them on that day?

Please assist

Hi All,

I am a US Citizen petitioning for my husband who is a UK Citizen. We got notice that our case was complete on August 10 (consistent with a lot of folks on this thread). Our preference category is CR-1 and our priority date is July 16, 2014. My husband's interview will be in London. I noticed their were some people with CC's at the beginning of August. Has anyone with a CC in August heard anything? I'm shocked its taking so long (although I don't know why given that I've been working on this for 13 months at this point). What is all this chatter about no September interviews? Has any one confirmed this to be true.... if so, gutted.

Good luck to everyone. I'm sending lots of positive vibes into the universe for us all.

It's looking to be true...still no interview date here.

Seems like it's not just the UK that this is happening, appears to be worldwide

I now got off the phone with NVC..

Interviews are still being scheduled at the moment for september however the consulate in trinidad and tobago still hasn't sent available dates for the nvc to schedule my interview ..

[RIAAZ76 1]

I see everyone around the world are being scheduled for end of September.

Bloody ridiculous..

You'd think living in a so called first world country ours would be more efficient.

NOT FAIR !!!

This is a lie from NVC as they are saying this about every country.

No word here either. Still no CC email for me just my phone confirmation on the 6th of August. I am getting anxious as I know November and December are Holiday months and many employees take that time off. Cannot imagine too many interviews get done at the end of November or December.
