Does anyone know if NVC will be open tomorrow with it being Good Friday and all, also has anyone tried calling NVC about interview dates yet? If I remember correctly they started around this time last month and though February was short it was only short by a day or two with it being a leap year.This is extremely frustrating. Am I really going to miss another birthday not being able to be with my wife. Every email I receive I get jumpy thinking it's NVC. I been losing so much sleep that my eyes have gotten dark.

Yes they are open. Maybe they may stat n some embassies that have their scheduled turned in. It's really not a all embassies start same time. It's when the embassies send in their calendars of slots and if its the scheduling window of time. Last month it was the 24th cuz their was 29 days in the month.

Usually, I say usually it's the last 3 to 4 days of the month we still have a week left in the month. I figure Monday they may start for some embassies.

I got my ears to the ground.

My wife's case was complete on 24th February, 2016 and even the priority date is current, however have not yet heard back on the interview dates yet it has almost been a month. Any Idea on how long will it take to get the interview dates?

Does anyone know if the slots for interviews in Lagos typically fill with people still in the que? From the spreadsheet, it looks like they are pretty accommodating... Just curious.

Yes its normal. My wife and son went for their interview on the 17th of March. The ceac website has been on Administrative Processing ever since then. On the 24th of March, it became issued. I even got an email from the embassy that the visas are ready to be picked up on April 1st 2016. It goes like this:

Ready--Administrative Processing--Issued.

Call NVC. They will tell u when ur interview date is scheduled. As for me, I call them almost everyday. U might be lucky to get someone who's willing to assist u on ur case

My wife and son went for their interview on the 17th of March, 2016 at the Lagos embassy. It was approved, but the Consular officer ask my wife to provide my 2015 Tax returns. My wife told her she doesn't have it, but she has my 2015 W-2 and my pay stubs for the last 6 months. Guess what, he still insist that my wife should inform me to file for my 2015 Tax return. He gave my wife back her passport, and told her to drop off the 2015 Tax return, an update I-864 AOS and her passport to the visa collection center as soon as she gets all this 3 items available. My wife called me immediately she left the embassy. I quickly file for the 2015 Tax Returns, completed another 2 sets of AOS for my wife and son. I scanned it to her email address. She printed it out that same day, but took it to the visa section the next day 18th of March. My case was kept on Administrative Processing ever since she submitted those documents. On the 24th of March, it went from Administrative Processing to Issued. I also got an email from the embassy in Lagos that their visas are ready to be picked up on April 1st. I'm so happy. My sons birthday is April 10th and so, he will celebrate his 5th birthday in the U.S. Thanks to everyone of u for all the wealth of information's in this forum. I learnt alot. God bless u all and have a wonderful Easter celebration.

Oww this is crazy how information between embassies can be different.

My interview was on March 17th, when she asked me if we had any financial update to provide, I simply told the embassy that my husband hasnt file his taxes yet, but I had his W2 with me and his employer taxes information. She said it's fine and didnt ask for anything else.

But Congratulation, I am happy that your family finally got their visa. Enjoy your son's birthday

Congrats KiiLie on getting your Visa!

Thank you so much ditdot. Any news on the embassy??
