how long is the wait between case complete and visa interview

[ffchung 3]

Hi, VisaJorney friends.

I send all my Doc. in to NVC in July, but I have not hear any interview date yet. I call about two month ago and find out my case complete date is July 7 2015(I call again in Sep, Oct, Nov with the same answer "they are working on it, they will let me know when the interview date is scheduled), so it has been more than 5 month since my case complete with no news on interview. can you give let me know what is the waiting time between case complete and visa interview, and what is the best next thing i need to do.

Thanks

Some embassies are backed up

and there are a certain number of visas per quarter, so if that is the case you wait for a number

i am sure you will hear from someone else using China

Good luck

You should check the Case Complete spreadsheet to get an idea. My wait is about 1 month but I am not from China. Some Chinese embassy cases got interviews about 1 - 2 months later.

That is what I thought should be no more than 2 months after cc, but when I call NVC the tell me the same BS, " they are working on it and don't know anything else" so frustrated.

Then I say that you keep checking the CEAC status webpage and keep calling. Also, it can depends on your embassy / consulate. Depending on their workload, your cases could be scheduled earlier or so but sometimes you never know, all the officers take their time so yeah. And this time of the year is the holidays too so there'll be more delays.

My two cases got completed within the right amount of time but I had two checklists so it took a while but my two checklists were approved within 20 days. Then when I found out about my case completed, I received P4 letter within two weeks and it had the interview date and time. My step-mother and step-brother had a good amount of time to get their medical examination and vaccination. They're getting their results this weekend after two weeks wait. So I'd say that I got lucky.

OMG, I just call the NVC, and was told my case is not complete yet, they got all the information and she is going to send to supervisor to review it, but i call two times before and was told that my case was complete on july 7. what the **** is going on. did anyone else had the same experience before like mine.

Have you check the ceac webpage to see if three N/A's appeared or if it said your status is in Transit or anything to see if there's any new updates to your case? If your case is on supervisor review, you'll have to wait between the day your case is put on supervisor review to about 2 months.

When my cases were completed, I saw three N/A's on the screen. This of course doesn't happen to everyone but for me, it means that my case is completed.

no agent or attorney selected (completed)

affidavit of support fee (N/a, paid in May) Affidavit of support Documents (N/a send that in May)

iv fee (Paid) IV Application ( completed) civil documents (n/a) all the paper work was email in at end of June or beginning of July) nothing has change on the ceas webpage for about 5 month.

At this point, either you should keep calling to ask the same questions to several different representatives and see if they have the same responses for you or not or you can put your case on supervisor review.

ok - if a paper casefile, NVC does not schedule these for China/Guangzhou. Instead, the paper casefile is sent out, and ya gotta wait for some time. Guangzhou IV Unit schedules these. No other IV Unit in the world does it this way, except for Guangzhou IV.

If an EP/Electronic processing casefile, NVC Schedules these for Guangzhou IV Unit.

how to know what's what?

1..a. Paper casefile starts with 'GUZ' for the casefile #

1..b. Electronic Processing casefile starts with 'GZO' for the casefile #

2. call back into NVC, ask for the date the casefile left NVC on it's way to Guangzhou IV, if it's a paper casefile. Write back to us here about that date, we can help you to forecast the rest of the steps.

You sent your Docs in July and your case was complete in July?

Seems rather quick, who said you were case complete?

[ffchung 3]

I email my Docs in the beginning of July. I call back later and find out on the file my case was complete on July the 17th. but there is no email of any telling me my case was complete, and they do not know why the case is setting there for 6 month with out any news or movement(on OCT 29 my case was put on supervisor review, but still with no news). i call again on DEC 23 and the case was put on supervisor review again, they still don't know what happen to my case. AM I THE ONLY ONE THIS F**K LUCKY? OR ARE THERE ANYONE OUT THERE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME?
