Case Complete to Interview August 2019

[JJ & JT 63]

From what I understand, NVC doesn’t give you embassy-specific responses. It’s a generic answer. First week of July, they gave out dates to couple of countries, so when you ask if they’ve started giving out interview dates, they’re going to tell you yes. Doesn’t matter if you’re asking for Mumbai or other places.

Dunno what to say....70 days since CC.....   April CC.... it has to rain this July.... at least let them clear the backlog or get more hands ..... this is so ......

Yup! They are as generic as corn flakes cereal . Doesn’t matter who you ask, They are giving you the most basic answer. There is no way they have stopped scheduling for August as it’s only the 10th.

I spoke with a nice Nvc guy yesterday but he told me they will schedule interviews til the 19th of July for August and after this date they will be focusing on September Interviews as I understood

It is my pure conjecture that they are processing DQ dates of week of April 22nd now.

If you aren't familiar, your immigrant visa case number has a specific format:

CCCYYYYDDDNNN
CCC - 3-char consulate code (BMB is Mumbai)

YYYY - calendar year (2019)

DDD - julian date of calendar year + 500

NNN - case number for that day

 

Anyone can do a case status check using ceac.state.gov/ceac 

From what I have seen, IR/CR cases have the same case creation date as the julian date representation
For numerical category cases, I have seen case creation dates earlier than the immigrant visa case number representation.  This is why I believe the Numerical visa applicants have uploaded all docs BEFORE their visa number is created  and effectively it goes thru the DQ process on the day of the visa number assignment.

 

It takes roughly 2 weeks for NVC to DQ after all fees/documents have been uploaded.   I saw a case with a status of READY as of today.   BMB2019594xxx..   This is a case created on April 4 which is the 94th day of 2019.  It takes 2 business days after they pay the fees for NVC to allow them to upload the docs.  Given that 4th is a Thursday, they could have only started the IV pkg/AOS paperwork on or after Apr 8.   Worst case scenario for them to have paid fees & uploaded docs is at the latest by April 10 or 11th.   This puts the DQ date for this case during the week of Apr 22nd.

 

Use this for what it is worth.   Just my thought.

Well someone on here is a DQ on april25 for BMB so maybe if they hear something that could confirm your theory. Either way looks like a loss cause for us. We DQ on the 14 of May.

Mine is xxx2009829xxx. I don’t understand your theory.  My CC/DQ is January 2nd 2019.   Still waiting for IL... please help me about that to understand thanks

Based on your timeline, it appears you are from Canada. 

 

Your immigrant visa number xxx2009829xxx indicates that it was assigned on the 329th day of 2009 (sometime in November of that year). 

2009 seems a long time ago..  Are you sure about the year?  As of May 2019, F4-B has a priority date cutoff of June 2006.   I doubt if they would create a case in 2009 and then wait 10 years.  Most NVC cases are only in the system for 1 year (according to their website).

 

Your visa category is NOT an immediate relative and as such even though you were DQ'd, your priority date may not be current (or one that is earlier than the cutoff date).   That is why you don't have an IL.

I read somewhere that NVC is mandated by the Immigration & Naturalization Act of 1990 (INA Act) that every year, all numerically limited category Immigrant visas should be completed fulfilled if there are enough cases waiting at NVC with DQ. The year ends Sept 30 every year. So for next 2 months expect NVC to maximise numerically limited category visas like F2B/EB2, etc to get priority in interview slots over immediate family slots.

 

If i remember correctly, 140,000 numerically limited visas are given every year all over the world, they need to ensure that all 140,000 are given out between Oct 1 to Sep 30. So last quarter - July to Sep will be busy time for these types of visas.

Is this the one that you are referring to?

F4 visa... PD is April 7, 2005.  Uscis approved November 6, 2009 then got welcome letter last August 14th 2018,  already current since December 2018.  Waiting for IL 😢

Sorry.  Don't have an answer.   I guess we are all speculating on the mysterious workings of the NVC

Have you looked at the historical statistics by COuntry?

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/immigrant-visa-statistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html
From Dec 2018 - May 2019, Canada has processed < 50 F4x category immigrant visas.   There must be a lot of people waiting in that category for Canada.    So, even though you are current, the country limit must have been hit.
