Case Complete to Interview May 2019

[Drkchocl8 50]

Good Morning All,

 

We received our interview date last Friday, April 19th. For those that received interview dates, how long did it take for NVC to send your file to the embassy? How long before the CEAC website changed from “at NVC” to “in transit”?

 

Also, our interview is scheduled for May 30th. Our 1 year Anniversary is May 13th. We’d like to schedule an earlier interview if at all possible (medical was done as soon as we received our case number so we are ready). Has anyone tried to request an earlier date? If so how did you go about it and were you successful?

 

thanks in advance 

Roz

Congrats on your interview appointment. Why do you want an earlier interview date? Is it because of an emergency/urgency need? If you need an earlier interview date, you'll have to request an expedite from the USEM since NVC has already scheduled your interview with them and it's in their system. Since your case is still at NVC there's also a slim chance they can help expedite it. Call them and try. But at this point I don't know if it's even worth trying to seek an expedite.

Thanks for your response and the congratulations! No, no urgency but I see people canceling or pushing out their interview dates so just wondering if earlier times are available due to cancellations...would the embassy allow us to fill a canceled spot.

Update: my husband had his interview this morning in Dakar, Senegal and his visa was APPROVED! He has to go back next Tuesday to pick up his visa. The interview was quick & easy, the CO just asked him about how we met and if our families were both at our wedding. His interview was at 7am, but he arrived at 6am so he was the first interview of the day - he was back home by 9am with the approval!

The only way to get an earlier interview date is through an official expedite request.

To all the people who post about getting Interview call. Please mention EMBASSY in your posts because every individual has to deal with the backlog in their respective Embassies. So your post without the mention of Embassy Name does not help anyone.

Any lucky champ here who got interview call from NVC for the month of May 2019 at MONTREAL Embassy?

It’s very rare to see Montreal here. I’ver been searching even for CCs. If I ever find one, there are no dates on their timeline. 😐

Thanks for responding. Sounds like keeping the existing appointment is my only choice as I don’t have a legitimate reason to expedite. How long did it take the CEAC website to say ‘in transit’ once you received your interview date?

I can’t really believe there is only one embassy for US immigrant interviews here. It’s CANADA. 😐

I’ve seen in the spreadsheet, some got interview dates a month or so after CC. Praying not much CR-1 applicants for April and May.
