When NVC start scheduling interviews again If there is an interview spot still open in July do they fill it? Or do they only schedule for August?

I was hoping for July Interview too and when I called I asked about that possibility. They told me at NVC July is fully fully booked everywhere, they will be now booking only August and September interviews. We should be hearing something next week.

Good morning everyone I am finally in the U.S.A. with my wife and I am so happy. I have something that has been worrying me though my wife says I shouldn't worry. I left from Jamaica to Boston but had a layover in New York so my POE would have been in New York correct? When I landed in New York I got off the plane and stopped at immigration line just like everyone else. The lady instructed me to go to the visitors section even though I said I was an immigrant and the Customs officer only asked me for the package and the address I was staying took my finger prints and picture and stamped a small approved stamp in the passport and said welcome to America. When I landed in Boston I didn't have to do anything I just got of the plane and collected my bags. So is that it for the POE? Was I supposed to do something else because I read that some people waited for an hour or longer with immigration so I am worried I may have missed something

Ok, I was trying to figure out how they do the scheduling. I know I will probably get September but, really hoping for August.

Ok, so case complete and yesterday expedite request granted from Kingston embassy. Now what's the next step. I called NVC and the chic was not helpful at all. How do I find out interview date, should we get the medical done now or wait to hear fro the embassy?

Hey, thanks for adding me to the spreadsheet. Could you update mine as the country would be best set as "United Kingdom" (I'm from Wales, but the interview itself will be in the London Embassy). Also the visa type is the CR1

Cheers!

I really hope we both get August interview date! September is just too far away at this point.

Just spoke to them over the phone and I was told the same July is over.. Whatever we get that would be August or beyond .... I'm very sure in my country the embassy must be having slots for July .. Because there are no much immigrant applicants from here and immigrant interviews are only on a specific day of a week that too after 1 PM.. Which means there won't be any other applicants at that time of the day like B1/B2 or F1.. Let's see what NVC does ?

Very possible you'll get July date if this is the case with your embassy. I've seen cases similar to yours, they get interviews scheduled in two weeks or so. Get ready for mid July... or end of July the latest :D Just my guess.

The interviews will be scheduled in the next 7 days or so... So I'd say wait to hear from them and get the interview date before you take any other steps.

Really ? That means should I start to get an appointment for medical and vaccination before end of the month or should I wait for the interview letter ?

Generally you want to wait for the interview letter. Keep in mind, once your visa is approved, you must enter the US within 6 months of the medical date.
