Time period for CR-1 interview after the NVC

[Aaires 0]

We were notified by the National Visa Center (NVC) that all fees and documents have been received and that they will now schedule us an interview at the Embassy in Bangkok.   That happened two weeks ago but we haven’t heard from them since then.  Since spousal CR-1 visas have priority, we don’t understand why it takes weeks to just get the interview scheduled.  

So the questions are:

How long (in weeks) does it normally take the NVC to get back to spouses with an interview date?  and

When might we expect the actual interview after that?

It all depends on where you are. Some ppl have been waiting for months! My husband was CC April 22 and received IL May 9. Some ppl been waiting over 2 months. Depends how busy your embassy is.

Thank you for your reply but I am not sure I know exactly what you mean.  

Is the CC date the date NVC notified your husband as to the interview date and time with the IL date being the actual interview date?

If so, how long was it between when the NVC notified him that all fees and documents were completed and the CC date?

The CC date is the date when the NVC has reviewed and accepted all the required documents. They will send you an e-mail saying that your case is documentarily qualified and that you will be placed in the queue for scheduling of an interview. As I understand from your post, you received that e-mail 2 weeks ago.

As stated before, it depends on the Embassy, how busy they are etc.

So as frustrating as it is, it's just another waiting game.. Some people have to wait over a month to get the interview date unfortunately..

 

The IL date that was mentioned in the previous post is the date on which you will receive the date of your interview (so this is the e-mail you are now waiting for).

The Interview date is the actual date on which the interview will take place.

 

In my case:

CC: May 24th

IL: June 12

Interview: July 30

 

You will find people in the same situation as you in the below thread.
