Exactly,  when I saw that they issued visas for August,  I felt much better, knowing that they working but at a much slower pace.  

Hopefully they will reach out to those that got cancellations. 

well i send them an email and this is what they said

 

Good Morning,  

  

We are working to schedule individual emergency appointments with all of those who are documentarily ready. To continue, please answer the following questions:  

 

1. Can you confirm whether you have re-done your medical exam? And if so, do you have the sealed medical exam with you, or will the doctor send it to us digitally?   

2. Do you have a new police certificate?

3. Where are you located currently?

Nigeria is sending letters to reschedule canceled appointments in November. I’m hopeful that’s what’s Senegal may be planning hence the reason they closed November and December calendars

I see that there aren't many users who will attend an interview at the Senegal US consulate. 

Anyway, for the few that are (or have already), how long does it usually take to get an interview date after DQ?

 

If you have, mind sharing your experience? Anything helps.

Hello there I’m late to the party. But for the opening post I think I have experience not with K-1 but IR-5 parent visa. My parent was DQ in July 2019. 
 

It took about 4.5 months to get an interview date after DQ (for January). At the consulate on the date of interview (I as petitioner wasn’t allowed to go in with parent),

 

you register and have your docs checked by the window staff and after waiting couple hours under the tree, names were called and being ushered in by the security personnel. 

 

another waiting awaits in a big open space with a ticket number that are grouped and called in sequence.

 

once inside the actual visa section, your in line and documents are re-checked for the class of visa you’re applying to make sure all documents are present and when it’s your turn you are interviewed at the window by a US consular officer.  
 

on this day, parent was interviewed but unfortunately visa couldn’t be issued as I-864 affidavit submitted could not be used. So we were turned back and given a paper that once we could provide another affidavit we can email it and the visa will be issued if within six months of medical results. 
 

we couldn’t provide affidavit of support as needed to travel back to the states. Upon returning in March, emailed the supporting docs and was asked to drop passport for visa issuance within a couple days. 
 

visa issuance in Dakar can be a hit and miss especially for foreign citizens coming from far. As at times you’re given a ticket to come for a visa on a set date and on that date it won’t be ready. I travelled to gambia and back twice as the first time visa was not ready. And several other people I met at the embassy were also given dates but visa were not ready. 
 

visas are issued on Tuesday and Thursday.

I am CR1 and I never got an initial appointment letter so I can’t go online to reschedule. I have a strong feeling they’ll be sending out letters to you guys like all other embassies have been doing.

Can someone correct , if your petition is with NVC (Immigrant visa) I think only the Embassy can schedule the interview in consultation with NVC.?

Nope, nothing at all. At least I was able to visit, but it's hard going back to the uncertainty.

Good afternoon,

 

Thank you very much. Please contact one of the approved physicians (you may need to reach out to the physicians in Senegal) to do your medical exam. Once you receive your results, please let us know and we can schedule an interview with you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Embassy of the United States of America

Dakar, Senegal

 

 

 

the embassy have asked me to do my medicals in order to get my interview date.
