Congratulations first of all. 

You can update the following file if you see required:

Note: currently people with dq April are getting interviewed. With vaccine and interview letter being sent to people. December DQ doesn't seem that far as things are moving in positive direction. All the best.

Hi,

I just did an analysis of the numbers we have from the Visa tracker spreadsheet listed in this forum (link) and the numbers coming from Consulate of approved visas (link).

 

For IR1/2-CR1 cases, number of approved Immigrant visas from Mumbai between August 2019 to Nov 2019 this is the month wise data from -

Aug - about 4; Sep - about 30; Oct - about 125 ; Nov - about 350. So for sure they have been increasing the capacity to interview a lot of people and hence giving appointment and visas to an increasing number of applicants who are already DQed.

 

From the Mumbai Visa Timeline spreadsheet folks who have got DQed till March 2020 (around 36) have got the interview appointment till Jan 2021. Below are the numbers of the applicants beyond March 2020 as per MVT list.

 

May be this can help us understand how much longer/shorter is our wait. 

a) MVT is a small subset of people going to consulate. May be it is about 1/10th.

b) Dec can be a small number for immigrants visa due to holidays. We will know the count in late Jan2021.

c) Last years numbers were about 800-1000 Immigrant visas per month (including IR5). That means at full strength, consulates can interview 1000 people per month at least.

 

Hence am guessing that if Covid is managed well and consulates work at full strength, by April 2021, all this backlog will disappear and we who are 'praying for interview date' can appear interviews by then.

 

I wish by Holi 2021 all this waiting pain gets over for all of us.

 

Will love to get feedback.

Hi,

I just did an analysis of the numbers we have from the Mumbai Visa Tracker spreadsheet listed in this forum (link) and the numbers coming from Mumbai Consulate Visas Issuance Statistics (Travel.State.Gov link).

 

From the Mumbai Visa Timeline spreadsheet, folks who have got DQed till March 2020 (around 36) have got the interview appointments dates till Jan 2021. Below are the numbers of the applicants beyond March 2020 as per MVT list.

 

Mumbai Consulate Visas Issuance Statistics tells that for IR1/2-CR1 cases, month wise Immigrant visas issuance from August 2020 to Nov 2020 are as -

Aug - about 4; Sep - about 30; Oct - about 125 ; Nov - about 350. So for sure Mumbai Consulate has been increasing the capacity to interview a lot of people and hence giving appointment and visas to an increasing number of applicants who are already DQed.

 

May be this can help us understand how much longer/shorter is our wait. 

a) MVT is a small subset of people going to consulate. May be it is about 1/10th.

b) December 2020's visa issuance number is expected to be low due to holidays. We will know the exact count in late Jan2021 when Travel.State.Gov shares the statistics.

c) Last year (2019), Mumbai Consulate was issuing about 800-1000 Immigrant visas per month (including IR5). That means at full strength, consulates can interview 1000 people per month at least.

 

Hence am guessing that if Covid is managed well and consulates work at full strength, by April 2021, all this backlog will disappear and we who are 'praying for interview date' can appear interviews by then.

True, looks like they have now reached 30% of their 2019 speed.

Hi, 

 

Can someone please send me the latest telegram group link? The previous link on December 16th says invalid or expired. Thank you!

Any updates.

 

The telegram link is not updated since nov 11 : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT0papajcfXB6ptthbtVMJBNa9ZxZt3Ie61CniRAmxzchUvVOTcgKBsofVdM1pgszgZVJXcZpARJcib/pubhtml

 

Though it says that file is updated after every 5 min

i am replying to a month old message i know. lol.

SO i am the one who managed this sheet.

It updates every 5 minutes. it says that because it a published version of the original sheet from group.

As soon as someone from our telegram group says they got notification we update that on our sheet. and in five minutes you will see changes on the link you got above.

Its not everyday that people get interview letters from NVC.
