Hey Judy it took 2 months I believe. My mom is also in the process and hers took 2 months as well. Are you in that step now?

Hi Judy! In my case it took a little over 3 months. Good Luck

[Judy2017 2]

Wow! Only God knows why are case is taking longer than usual, it’s been 7 months and we haven’t received a response about our I601A.

Omg! Really? That sounds like a lot. Are you doing it with a lawyer?

[Judy2017 2]

Yes! She’s not helping a lot! She said it’s taking longer than usual. So I don’t know anymore.

@jjr I see that many people waiting on interviews from other embassies got their appointment emails today. Why is Guatemala taking so long?!!! This wait sucks. Hopefully it's us next.

Hmmm I am also doing it with a lawyer and I feel that because she's got so much going on my case took a lot longer than it needed to since she didn't have time for it. Wonder if you could call someone to see if they even received it. I called NVC a couple months ago to see how it was going and they said they hadn't received anything, not even the online application, so I called my lawyer asking what was going on. Of course she said everything was done, but then not long after I talked to her, NVC received my stuff. Coincidence I think not.

You’re right. Only God knows why some of us have to wait longer than others. I do believe there’s always a reason as to why things happen the way do. Hang in there hopefully you’ll get the approval soon.

Really!!? I hope so!  I think it had to do with the Fuego volcano that slowed things down at the embassy. I know of two people who got their interviews exactly 30 days after cc and another one who had the interview in two weeks. All these of course happened before the eruption.

I decided to part ways with my lawyer because she did almost the same thing and more. If it wasn’t for all of her mistakes this whole process would’ve been over by now I’m sure.

I called USCIS already and they said I have to wait until August, so we’ll see. I put in a request to see why our case is outside normal processing times and they just responded that our case should receive an answer in 60 days (2months.) I don’t know what else I can do

Yeah I thought about that too because just like you I know of people who got their appointments exactly a month after their cc. Maybe by tomorrow 🤞🏻. Am so relieved to hear you're almost exactly where I am. Hopefully we get them on the same day so we can help eachother out.

Ugh so frustrating. But at least August is around the corner and not months away. I really can't believe it's been so long. For now I guess just wait (although I know it sucks). Sending you good vibes. Keep us updated

Me too..I was feeling so discouraged thinking I was the only one who was left out of July and August interviews because of problems with my paperwork or something but I’m so relieved to have found you. I hope we get the same interview date that’d would be awesome!
