It makes it a little weird but it's also pretty much some of the best data we have. I did also filter by interview date in the timeline search and used that

Yes, love statistics. I just wanted to note patterns

@dwheels76 my husband is considering being present in the interview, is there any provision for that? Do we notify the embassy?

Depends on the embassy and if they allow any other attendees or not. Check the embassy’s website to see their policy on allowing attendants other than the interviewee

Yeah but you will also see the same problem of people improperly entering their dates to the timeline which kinda throws the research off

Please did you figure this out? I'm this problem, it's not letting me register.

Yes I had the same problem too but wait 2 days after and try again. I just finished registering.

So if I understand correctly, we don't need to set up a profile account? We just go do the medical and then after the visa approval, we get information on where to pick it up the passport and then tell us where to pay the fees? Please confirm

Exactly, you'll be able to create a profile after the Visa has been approved...

Sure, but there are some reliable VJ members so it still helps

Hi,

 

I have been using the spreadsheet and I have sorted the column for JA and I see a pattern between CC and the actual interview date. However, I see a few curb balls that do not follow a pattern. What do you think?

 

Do you think our VJ members dates are slightly inaccurate? Confused.

The "Curve balls:" are easy to explain. Expedites and also cancellation. many times they are done scheduling then things happen, CO's get sick, people chancel their dates. Slots open up and some on is scheduling outside of the scheduling window,.

As you can see there is a distinct scheduling timeframe.

 

What VJ dates are you referring to?

Just got off the phone with those lovely people at the NVC - 1 hour 5 min wait time (I think that is a record so far!)

 

For all Australian people awaiting an interview...if there are any of you hiding in the shadows: They are still in the process of scheduling for the month of February.

 

I thanked the woman for her time and was about to get off the phone and she quickly told me that she can't tell me when I will receive a date. Which made me laugh because it was clearly a knee jerk reaction to every call she gets with people hassling them with questions they can not answer.

 

Big thanks for the tip @dwheels76  - I read it about 200 comments back when you were responding to someone about how and what to ask with regards to interview appointments.

 

For those playing along at home the question was : "Have they started scheduling at *insert consulate/embassy here* yet?" I added for February.

 

and then I just reconfirmed the fact, asking if they were still scheduling interviews. In other words, is the process still ongoing right now.

 

 

Again a huge thanks for everything you do @dwheels76 and the continual knowledge you impart onto us all...not to mention your patience

 

Have a great day/night all!  

 

 

Awwww thank you. It's greatly appreciate. I try. One thing I learned with USCIS and NVC man you have to make it plain and ask specific questions.

 

If you ask "have you started scheduling" well that can be any embassy anytime. People forget the person answering the phone ain't doing the adjudication or scheduling.

I am having difficulty creating a profile for my spouse via this link: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Nigeria

our interview date is 2/6/20.

should the registration/ creating a profile part only be done in nigeria? i tried to create a profile from here and i couldn't then i got a message about a site adminstrator being alerted. 

what about paying the fees? when and where is this done?

please help.

are there instructions for this anywhere? I don't want to make a mistake.

thank you

I have never known for spouse visa (for Nigeria) to create a profile. since you have to pickup your visa yourself there really is no point and there is no tracking.

He is welcome to stand outside. He will not be allowed in the embassy.

 

I stood outside for the 3 1/2 hours in the pouring rain.

When they either run out of petitions or they ruin out of slots. For most they run out of slots. So it's over for that month.
