Is it that NVC transfers cases to our consulates only by the beginning or the end of the month? I got my DQ on 8th Jan. Does that mean I've to wait at least till the beginning of Feb to get a IL? 

I got the same day and based on what I've read it would seem so

No consulate gives visa on the day of the interview.   It is typically a week or two.

Any other Nigeria filers?! We are sooo ready for this interview! So many things with my husband's job, ect to try to maneuver ect Nd we can't plan Anything till we have that letter! Lol ugh 

Congratulations I have added you to the spreadsheet. There are along of October and November DQ's and they aren't even close to done with October they stopped on 10/10 for January. February should come put next week. So we just have to see how far they get.

0h wow really!? I knew there was still some at end of october who maybe had not recieved letter yet, I pray you will be soon. I'm sure you will! They say they go by first come first serve. Well maybe we wont hear anything till end of Janyary or even February, but we are praying we get SOMETHING in January. Seems that not alot of Nigeria keeps their status up to date all the time. COME ON NVC! good luck! Please let us know when you recieve one!

Okay here some intel you all of you who wonder.

 

No not necessarily first come first serve. This is where your PD date (Receive at USCIS date comes into play) Many of you have DQ Oct 22. So your PD would now come into play. If there are 5 slots and 10 of you with DQ 10/22 then you will be put in order of your PD. Even DQ's around your date may get selected before you because they been waiting longer which is understandable.

Holidays are over so more slots should be opening. The problem is for Nigeria, Ghana, Mumbai and many other busy embassies there are more petitions then slots. Lagos alone conducts over 300 visitor, business and student visas a day. With about 4 to 5 K1 and IR1/CR1 interviews per day.

We have not recieved our p4 letter. Would it be delivered to my address in US or his? If we don’t receive it in time, can he just print the email of interview confirmation sent to us?

It doesn't get mailed you are both emailed the IL. And yes you have to print it off to get into the embassy for interview.

 

When is your interview? You already got the date?

My parents had to cancel their interview appointment for their immigrant visa (IR5) as my mom needed to have further TB screening done. The tests took 2 months and the reports came out clear, thankfully.

 

I reached out to the embassy to get an appointment by email and they replied saying that my mom's application needs "additional review" and only after that is completed will we be contacted. Now, when I check for my mom's visa status in the ceac website, it shows "Administrative Processing" (Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.)

 

And my father's application status show up as "Ready" (Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://nvc.state.gov/interview

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.).

 

I am confused as non of them have an new interview schedule yet. Has anyone else been in this situation?

 

FYI, my parents are applying in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Email embassy. Because the embassy has no idea she was rested usually you schedule your own. Why not email them to get clear instructions what to do next.

Hi guys, I’m from Ghana. My DQ date 25/10/19.. still waiting on the consulate for an interview date.. it’s taking forever. Hope we can be scheduled for February 

Congratulations I have added you to the spreadsheet. Ghana right now is scheduling for February and on DQ 10/22.

 

Why not call NVC and ask them are they done scheduling for Ghana. You might have a date.

Happy New Year, all!  

 

Please make sure that if you're new here, you go and fill in your timeline.  Its helps with the record keeping @dwheels76 graciously tracks for all of us which helps provide answers as to when interview letters are potentially expected.  

Thanks for that. Really appreciate it.

 

If everyone could please update and keep your timelines up to date. And also fill out the form for the Case Complete to Interview spreadsheet.

 

I don't read this thread everyday and many are just putting information in a pot here so i have to read pages and pages of DQ, IL date and add you to the spreadsheet.

 

Reading the 1st post everyone should read it. Having correct data helps everyone so when people ask how long they can get more accurate information.

Hello guys. Dad went for his interview this morning and I contacted the embassy to allow my mom to go with him as he’s over 65. Unfortunately they couldn’t issue the visa today as they required dna testing for myself, my dad and mom before they can proceed. So another 2months wil surely be added to their wait times. 

Sorry about that. Expect 2 to 3 months to be called back but email embassy every month after you do your test to stay on it.
