I think EB based scheduling process is different and they are waiting for VB to get released to schedule interviews. This waiting is crazy and teaching utmost patience.

Right! Even us who are not supposed to be waiting because we are always current as their website says. It’s like 2 years process now.  😩

Looks like no VB today also.

Despite the visa bulletin not yet being out I just got an interview date for EB3 ROW! Interview is Oct 17th Auckland Consulate, priority date was Oct 2018, CC June 3rd. This is a good sign for other EB3 ROW people

Honestly I would just fly over there for the interview, get it sorted and then it's just done

Problem is not traveling to pakistan for interview. Problem is after interview they keep your passport for god knows how long. And ill loose my job if i go there without knowing how long i have to stay there.

Is your online status shows "in transit" or still at NVC?

I'm so sorry you're still waiting, it's awful being so delayed. The end is in sight now, I'm really confident things will start moving again. I just checked and oddly enough it still says 'At NVC' perhaps that will update tomorrow

Mine still says at NVC too. I think what happens is they wait for a larger batch of visas and then mail them together towards the end of the month. There is actually a trick to find out once its shipped to the embassy

 

If you go to DHL (https://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking/shippers_reference.html)

You can enter the shippers reference number like this: EXP 03 SEP 2019A (Keep increasing the day like 04, 05, 06) until you get a hit.

For example I was able to see NVC shipped visas to Frankfurt on Sep 3

Yes I am current. No update from NVC yet. Do you think I should call them? Will they tell anything?
