Anyone interviewed in London recently?

[grapenoodle 25]

NVC notified me of being documentarily qualified around 10 days ago – I’m just trying to gauge how long it’s currently taking to receive an interview date after this? There only seems to be wait times for non-immigrant visas on the embassy website. 

 

Interview anecdotes and stories also welcome!

We were DQ August 11 and are waiting to get an interview. I've seen speculation that they are on June DQs now. : /

We’re about to be IR1 also now because of the wait! Hope you get your date soon.

There’s a long thread in the UK forum with all the talk about getting interview dates in London, reviews of the interview, and lots more.

Thank you so much! I’d been hoping for something like this. Will go commiserate with everyone else haha.

Same here, I too was notified just over a week ago and wondering the same thing?  Hope we get some good news any day soon!  I will give an update here if and when I receive anything regarding the interview.  Good luck to you!

They schedule about 6 weeks ahead, so don't get your hopes up for a 2020 interview as chances are still slim.

I'm wishfully hoping It would be before Christmas but not banking on it.  Just wondering roughly how long others in my category have waited to hear about interviews and if things are moving any quicker due to not as many visa's being issued, due to the ban?  Feel so bad for those that can't even travel right now.  Thanks for your response though!

I’ve also been hopeful although it seems like from further research those DQed in June/July are only just getting their dates for November  You never know though; wishing good luck to you too 💞

Who is They? The NVC or the London embassy? Also, I am curious i read in this PDF (attached) that the NVC only sends out interviews once a month in batches. Is that true or has anyone seen it happen twice in one month 🤔

They is NVC in cooperation with the consulate.  They schedule when they receive notification of available interview slots from the consulate.  Batching once a month,  twice a month,  every day does not increase the availability
