Hello,

I am new here. I just received a notification from the NVC that my case is in a queue awaiting an interview appointment in Nigeria. Anybody has an idea how long it usually takes from the notification till when I get an interview date?

The time varies by embassy and it can depend on how busy they are and when they have openings. However, on average it may take roughtly 30 days to get the interview date and then possibly the interview will be scheduled out another 30 days. So, it may take about 60 days from the time you get notice from the NVC to the actual interview date.

Hi

I really dont know what a NOA2 means but on the 27th of Jan I received the below from the NVC and the last communication before then was on 10 December 2015 which stated that my documents were received and I should allow 30 days for review.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case. The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate the applicant’s visa application.

NVC schedules appointments one month in advance. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate General tells us what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments in a first-in, first-out manner. Most appointments are set within 60 days of NVC receipt of all requested documentation. However, we cannot predict when an interview appointment will be available.

When we are able to schedule an appointment, we will notify the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable). The applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy’s interview requirements online at http://nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

The embassy may require additional documents at the interview. In particular, if the following three items are all true, the applicant must bring a new police certificate to the visa interview:

· He or she is more than 16 years old;

· The police certificate submitted to NVC was obtained more than one year ago; and

· He or she still lives in the country that issued the certificate.

The applicant should not make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the embassy has issued a visa.

Sincerely,

Director

National Visa Center
