I finally mailed my IV/AOS packet (after a few bumps on the road -_-) I know it can take 60 days or so for it to be reviewed and to possibly have my "Case Complete" (hopefully I won't get an RFE *crossing fingers*) but for those in the D.R, what was the average period you had to wait to get an interview date/or how soon did you get it??? :clock:

I just got a letter from them saying that they are "experiencing a high volume of incoming mail, but that they'll review the documents 30 days from the date my docs were received" Hopefully it'll be sooner than that!!!

But it seems that they give out the interview dates like 5-7 days from getting a case complete, at least for D.R.
