My husband has an interview scheduled!!!!! June 17th!!!

I can't believe it!!! That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. I didn't think we would get an interview towards the middle of the month like that especially since our CC was towards the end of the month.

God willing, all goes well and my wonderful husband will be here with me by our one year anniversary!!!! Now i'm praying all goes smoothly between now and through the interview.

Congrats Liny!! So happy for you guys!!

I'm still waiting on March 24th Case Complete for UAE. The wait has been longer than other countries in the past, but it seems like we are way beyond that timeframe of 95 day timeline as well. How long does it take to switch consulates?

[Amadia 711]

Hooray! Just called and got our interview date! They weren't sure we'd make the June interview dates but we did!

June 23

Positive vibes out to everyone still waiting!

Congrats to you!!!!

Congrates for your success.... i have similar cc date but no interveiw appointment yet ...

I've been calling them every day, however, the response is that we'll let you know when it's scheduled. We cannot predict the timelines. When asked if they have started UAE yet? They usually don't know, or say generic answer that they start scheduling at the end of the month. Hoping for a July interview now ??

Hey guys, quick question.

I got my CC last week on Monday, May 2nd. I called to double check with NVC, and I was in fact approved. The lady on the phone told me to wait for an email and then they would begin the process of scheduling the interview with my Embassy. Then, I had read some conflicting instructions here and with PM with other VJ members form Venezuela and had some conflicting comments as well. Some members are telling me the NVC will schedule the appointment for me, some others are saying I have to go through a website and schedule it myself, some others are saying it depends on what kind of visa you are applying for, etc. etc. etc. So I called NVC again on Thursday and the lady said the same thing, continue to wait for the email and they will schedule the appointment for me. This case is for my MOTHER, not fiance or husband, I know, wrong thread, but there are barely any parent cases on VJ.

Today, I got the email and it says:

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 applicants 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 embassys 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

Also, when I got home a letter from NVC was waiting in the mail and it states:

May 4, 2016

NVC Case Number: XXXX

Invoice I.D. Number: XXXX

Dear XXXX:

We updated the mailing/email address for this case. Please continue to notify the NVC of any change of mailing/email address, or change in personal situation that may affect the principal applicant's entitlement to a visa.

NVC Case Number: XXXX

I was wondering if anyone else got this letter and what does it mean? I did not request any change of mailing/email address... or are they talking about the embassy's address? which is the one listed at the end of the letter (I put it in bold).

Thank you,

M

[SylOla 1]

Just called NVC and was given the good news that our interview date is scheduled for June 22, 2016!! Thought we would have missed this scheduling cycle since our cc was May 4th and was expecting something in July. So very happy right now!!!

Congratulations to everyone on this forum who have received an interview date!! And the best of luck to all of those that are waiting to hear!
