Is NVC scheduling interviews now? I thought it was the end of every month to the first week.

Remember each consulate handles scheduling differently and expedited interviews can be scheduled at any time..again based on consulate, case load and available slots. Scheduling primarily occurs during the last week of the month into the first couple of weeks of the following month. This too is dependent on case load, available slots for that specific embassy. For us, those filing in JA, you can expect to see interviews start rolling out in the next 2 weeks (end of the month). I called last week and the person, although it could be a scripted response, confirmed that scheduling occurs the last week of the month. But for your own peace of mind, you could can call NVC and ask the status of your interview, if they are currently scheduling and when they will resume.

Hi Guys,

:dancing: I am through with this leg of my immigration journey. My daughter's interview was 2 questions. Her visa was delivered on the Tuesday after interview (6 days!!!) and I bought her ticket for the Thursday. She is here and all is well :) I just wanted to stop by to give you guys some encouragement as you continue to wait on your loved ones remember "Each day that passes brings you one step closer to seeing them".

Dwheels76

Where do I begin...As a person travels along their life's journey, with all its twists and turns, I believe that person (and all of us) owe it to humanity to help each other. If that one person can make a positive impact on a single person's life, before returning to dust, then that is a life of purpose and one well spent....

Dwheels76 you are one such person! Our paths have only crossed virtually but you inspire me to be a better person in my life's journey... I have observed You, the selfless way you give of your time and energy to put up the monthly posts, from answering our never ceasing, "repetitive" questions to giving us words of encouragement or advice to help our immigration journey .... You are never rude or condescending, always helpful and such a wonderful resource...It takes a special person and I know not many of us could do it. Yet, you use this medium - Visa Journey, to touch so many lives and impact so many futures as we start new lives in America! In spite of geographical, cultural, intellectual and language barriers, you are still here month in & month out - giving of yourself, expecting nothing in return... :goofy: Dwheels76 you are an amazing person, and the world is a better place just because you are in it :goofy: If you were near, I'd give you a big hug and say Thank You!!! For now, I will send you a virtual ((HUG)) and thank you by paying it forward, and helping my fellow man, as I continue life's journey...

Enough cannot be said about the Visajourney community - moderators, members all! For having you guy's help and support - Blessing is the only word that fits. Thank you guys so much!

Happy Friday Everyone,

Tashired :)

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/irstats.php?history=3600

Thanks for all the help minutes ago! What would one do without you....

Now about the robust scheduling system.....that doesn't surprise me nor will it make me sleep any better tonight. I had kinda calculated it while you were away and came up with an approx. date. SMH....there's nothing I can do but wait.....

It is what it is...makes no sense but...
