Each embassy have slots for the kind of Visa category they will conduct that month. Lets say I am Supervisor #5 and I have South Africa's October schedule. It will show like 3 on this date category IR1/CR1, 2 on that date F2A and so forth and they start assigning cases to the dates. They stop when they either run out of cases or run out of slots.

So its not a country by country. You see some countries getting announced before others because maybe the embassy sent in schedule sooner. Or there weren't as many to do or that scheduler was faster.

I know Pakistan and India are usually the last and usually do 2 rounds one at 1st to 2nd week like now and end of month.

Many embassy that don;t have alot of visa interviews you just get scheduled in what is available.

A place like my embassy Lagos does on average 300 to 400 Visitor Visa, Student Visa, Business Visa interviews per day. They normally take no more than 3 CR1/IR1 Mon-Thur. K1's about the same.

Hope that helps a little to understand. (but South Africa is usually not a long wait for any category) not a real busy embassy. :goofy:

Create a thread so your country folk can follow and reply and ask questions. There aren't any reviews for medical.

Oh please I want that job. I actually really want to be over USCIS and NVC. They should all be under the same umbrella. None of this pissin contest mess.

And trust me back in 2012 when I was waiting many months at NVC I called every dang day and talked and asked and even called the DOS # (it no longer functions for us) and I asked all kinds of questions and got some great supervisor people telling me the ropes.

It's obvious to me that NVC is doing something new. I am still holding out praying for I-130 to schedule their own interviews. Once you have Case Complete why not right?

Jamaica started October announcing yesterday. Jamaica I am afraid is a 2 to 3 month wait after interview. The folks getting October interviews been waiting since May (yes 132 days they waited and got their interview scheduled today).

Do you have case Complete yet?

WOOOO HOOOO!!! Please update me. Our interview date is October 8th!! What a wonderful day today is. Good Luck to everyone on here and anyone from Kenya, I suggest you call the NVC.

That sounds great. You are on a roll. You went through the slowest service center but after they let you out, you started rolling faster than cheetah.
