Case Complete to Interview April 2017

[lsu_mike 97]

I did another I864 and included the 2016 tax return with recent W2's for my wife to take to the interview.  Probably wasn't necessary, but I sent it since I had filed my 2016 taxes already.

My husband had his interview today. Approved pending receipt of medical results.  So thankful that this process is almost over!

Oh God. Just received reply from the embassy regarding my employment-based case. Who also is employment based might be also interested in this info.

 

My embassy told me that as employment based visas are numerically limited (Visa Bulletins for each month are published to determine eligibility) NVC can not schedule interview till next Visa Bulletin is available.

 

That means that May interviews for employment based cases will probably be scheduled ONLY after NVC receives Visa Bulletin for May... And usually Visa Bulleting is published about 11th day of the preceding month. That means that they will start scheduling employment based May interviews only after April 11th or later... Oh My God!!!! Interview at thend of May?

 

But! If they fill all interview slots for May before April 11 what then? As they have family based that could be scheduled without Visa Bulletin.

 

Who else encountered this and how that really works.....?

Depends on your country of birth. Pl look at the dates in visa bulletin in the following link:

EB-2 is current for Ukraine

Sure, exactly! It's current for April. But what the embassy told me (and what NVC doesn't confirm if they understood what I was talking about).. They told me that to schedule interview for May NVC needs to see May Visa Bulletin and NVC can not schedule May interview for me before they see this May Bulletin to confirm date will still be current.

 

That's why I was shocked.. As May Bulletin will be available only closer to mid-April. But may be the embassy is not right. NVC representative told me it's not a problem and my case is current. Don't know who is right.

Hi, I am also applying on employment based visa, Case Completed 2/28/2017 and still waiting for interview date. We called NVC today and the rep checked and said that there is available visas for me and my dependents (in our country of changeability) and we will just have to wait for our interview schedule. I hope we get the schedule for May within this week or next week.
