generally it takes 4-6 weeks after the cc to the interview date. so you can add that time too...i think. but you need time for medical check and i dont know how long the medical check takes in Madrid. 

Hmm, I didn't think it was that long between the cc and the interview... how can we find out? And the time would be determined by the country/embassy too I suppose.

?? 

October 2011: Met in Spain

2012-2014: Video chat + visas + visits and vacations = we made it through!

June 2014: Moved to Spain, got engaged 

December 31, 2015: got married

April 20, 2016: sent I130 package

May 2, 2016: package received in Chicago Lockbox - - - 12 days for delivery!! Don't use TNT couriers!! 

May 2nd or 5th, 2016: email NOA1... accepted and sent to.... NEBRASKA 

And now.... breeeeeeathe..... be like water my friend....

October 26th, 2016: NOA2 [We had waited almost 6 months. Received notification from the phone app, never got an email.]

November 9th 2016: USCIS sent the petition to NVC (app notification) [waited 2 weeks after approval for this]

November 25th 2016: NVC received and created account for our petition [waited 16 days after USCIS sent it, for NVC to acknowledge receipt]

Dec 1st 2016: Chose agent online DS261 [a few days later than it could've been since the above NVC email went to SPAM!]

Dec 6th 2016: Case available for paying fees. That was fast, I think! 5 days!

Took a long time to get package out because... life... and husband's family in Morocco had to travel to get police document.

Feb 20th 2017: Scan date at NVC, received weird email.

April 28th 2017: CHECKLIST. Moroccans are required to send a Court Report regardless of Police Record status. My husband had to go back to Morocco to get it in person. Also, NVC wants a 2016 tax return now that is 2017. My bad.

September 15th 2017: 2nd Scan Date at NVC. Sent for document review October 20th.

Nov 10th 2017: Email requesting document be brought to interview. Will schedule interview.

Case complete date??: TBD :clock:.... November 8th!!

Interview date : January 18, 2018!!           Result: Administrative Processing      :mellow:

Embassy called for new medical last week of August. New Medical Sept 10.

Visa ISSUED September 14, 2018. :blink:

It does usually depend on the workload of the embassy

Usually scheduled for the month after nvc gives you CC. Sometimes longer depending on how many slots the embassy has. But I don't think I've seen it take less time than that.

yes the interview date depends on how busy the embassy is. it is really by chance and how lucky you are haha. if the embassy is not that busy at the moment or someone changed their interview date, you might get yours sooner too.

@chamma @JBMG i recieved an email today.a checklist on i864.but the instruction said that i can bring it to the interview.is that considered case complete?

i got the email today and was told that the embassy will determine if our savings are enough to cover that shortfall of income. and i am probably getting a joint sponsor because even if we have enough savings, i dont want to risk it. it is relieving that we get to just bring our checklist documents to the interview.

OH! That's great to know. I've understood from talking to the NVC that anyone that is using assets gets that letter/checklist. Because it's not the NVC to decide if we qualify, it's our embassy.. I too will bring a joint sponsor application to my interview.  This way if they do ask, i'll have it, if not, great. I've read both cases where some embassies required a joint-sponsor whereas others not. 

 

Can you please update your questionnaire? I've added some new questions. 

 

Thank you,
