So they are fully shutdown the consulate again?

they say in the email we will need to reschedule when they open again, but will they email us to tell us to reschedule? we were scheduled by nvc for our immigrant visa so i dont really understand how they want us to schedule our own appointment like its a free for all when they open back up

Hey, did everyone get their interviews cancelled for the month or only individuals who had it later on this month?  Since it did say they will cancel some of the interviews, I assumed it meant they were reducing their capacity until further notice.  I tried to join that telegram but they rejected me for some reason.

Just joined the group today and they got me restricted from being able to comment till June 17th so I can only read what others say lol

Did you have an interview scheduled? Its late here, I’m too tired to go back and read through this feed lol

No, it was DQ November 5th so it would have been scheduled this month for May.  Yeah, it is late here as well almost midnight, I work overnight currently so I will be up all night.

My understanding of it is that they will notify you when appointments are available, instead of it being scheduled through NVC, it’ll be through Consulate. You’ll just get them telling you when ur interview is.

i was thinking theyd tweet it and we would have to look for there tweet like 24/7 and then go on ustraveldocs/in and book ourselves. lets hope its the former where they just schedule us.

Another member did call the consulate and she said they have no clue about this lockdown.  If you are telling me to call NVC, that would be pointless since this is a restriction set by the Consulate not NVC.

No point to call NVC . Only Mumbai consulate can answer our questions.

 

I don’t know if they are reduced staff or fully shutdown. If fully shutdown then they won’t even working on any 221g as well.

221g is out of the question to begin with, they are according to the previous posts only operating until the 12th of April then they are going back to that covid19 shutdown mode where they only process mission critical and emergency visas.

CR1/IR1 cases are mission critical cases I guess.

Thatd be my guess. Pretty sure that’s how they did it when started rescheduling canceled interviews last time.
