Great!! That's perfect! Thank you for sharing. :) What about starting a thread under the NVC forums? Called NVC India? Think it would be useful as there are many cases from India and this issues seems to come up a lot.. That way it will always have a home for future NVC filers from India..

Hello, 2 more April Scan dates have received a checklist this week.. So I thought I'd share some stats.. 

 

Spreadsheet Stats:

Checklist which required a 2nd scan date : 49

Checklist which could bring to interview: 20 

Total: 69

Cases that didn't receive a checklist to date: 72 

 

So basically HALF of our cases have received a checklist.. NVC has to find a way to improve their communications..

Doesn't make sense how half of our cases have received a checklist...

Yep. Clearly there is a problem.. And that's just our cases on this forum that have decided to add their entry onto our spreadsheet.. Could you imagine if the same numbers are represented at the NVC? Half of their cases receiving a checklist... If they could improve their communications, they could reduce the workload in half or close to it.. No wonder they don't have a department dedicated to processing just checklists.. That department would be have half of their staff... Crazy..

Hi, just received the "Now in the queue awaiting an interview" letter. Nice to see some progress.  Have all of you received this letter already? Especially for those who have been waiting for an interview date for over 2 weeks? My status still say "AT NVC" and my AOS info is not there which I understand is normal. ;) 


===

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 tells us what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments as they become documentarily qualified.  Most appointments are set within three months of NVC’s receipt of all requested documentation.  However, before applicants in a numerically limited (preference) visa category can receive an appointment, their priority date must also be current.  This can delay receipt of an appointment.  You can track your priority date using the Visa Bulletin on travel.state.gov.
 
When an appointment is available, 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 nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

The embassy may require additional documents at the interview.  For example, 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,

National Visa Center
