F3 / Letter received from NVC // PRIORITY DATE APRIL 2005

[skyland235 0]

Hello
With the very slow movement / no movement in recent Visa Bulletins for the F3 category immigrant Visa category- and with my priority date of April 2005- I guess we still have at least a 6-8 month wait!!
Anyway- all of our docs and petitioner docs submitted to NVC about 6-8 weeks ago. Got the following letter this morning ( have copied it below) –
Can someone advise if the Interview at the US Embassy in London is only scheduled AFTER our VISA date becomes current?? The letter seems to imply that within 60 days we may have our interviews scheduled???
Thanks

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

hi

that's a general letter, but for any embassy if you are waiting for a priority date to be current, then you have to wait until it is current
