F2A spouses waiting for interview thread (updates)

Anyone here received any updates about interviews? Since proclamations 10040 and 10052 are revoked, I believe they're gonna start sending interview letters anytime soon. The embassy here in Dominican Republic finally opened 2 days ago but with limited capacity.

I read they started rescheduling interviews that were cancelled due to PP 10014.

 

I'm also waiting for my interview, but got DQ January 7th, so i guess I have a long wait ahead

I have seen a lot get interview letters, even days after proclamation was cancelled, but they were getting dates of after the 31st.

Hi, today I received an email from NVC about my case status. I bet we are all going to receive this at certain point and I think this means we have an estimate of 4 months to receive our IL.

 

"Dear Sir/Madam,

This notice is to inform you that your case for an immigrant visa is documentarily complete at the National Visa Center (NVC) and has been for at least 60 days.  NVC has received all of the fees, forms and documents required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview. Your petition is awaiting an interview appointment. At this time, no further action is required.  We appreciate your patience.

Your case will remain at NVC until an appointment is scheduled, at which time we will send it to the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate General.  We will notify the applicant, petitioner, and attorney (if applicable) when an appointment is scheduled.

The U.S. Embassy or Consulate tells NVC which dates they are holding interviews. NVC fills these appointments on a first-in, first-out basis and is unable to predict when an interview will be scheduled.

Visa interviews at many U.S. Embassies and Consulates have been delayed as a result of the global COVID-19 outbreak.  For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate's operating status, please visit their website at https://www.usembassy.gov.

The next communication you receive from NVC will be either a notice that your appointment is scheduled, or if an appointment is not scheduled within the next 120 days, we will send a notice confirming that your case is still in line for an interview.

Important: The applicant should not make any permanent financial commitments until they have received their immigrant visa. This includes activities such as:
        - Selling a house, car or property,
        - Resigning from a job, or;
        - Making other travel arrangements.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Regards,
National Visa Center
U.S. Department of State

Hi!

 

Did you make an inquiry about your case status? Or it was an unsolicited email from NVC?

Hi! No, it was unsolicited. I saw on an immigration Youtube channel that a lot of applicants are getting this email. Make sure you have your email address correctly registered on CEAC.

Thanks!

My email, my husband (personal & work) and my lawyer emails are on system. Plenty interaction with NVC during one year trying to get his Welcome Letter. 

Our case was manual/paper filling so my CEAC only shows status. We received an email from NVC on January (when we got DQ) and we all were there (husband, lawyer & me, they even updated my husband work email)

I read on some FB groups that many applicants received this email and their DQ dates ranged between May 2019 and November 2020. Also somebody claimed that he called NVC and they told him it was just a reminder that their cases where in line for interview, kind a "thank for your patience, we are back online" 

I believe we didn't receive that email because we don't have 60 days since becoming DQ. So it may come soon.

Ciudad Juarez consulate posted in their website:

 

Individuals Previously Subject to Presidential Proclamation 10014:

If your March or April 2020 appointment for a visa interview in the IR-5, family preference (F), or employment preference (E) classifications was canceled, the Consulate will contact you, at the contact information on file, with a new appointment date.

 

NVC scheduling for these classifications will resume after all previously cancelled appointments have been rescheduled.

 

Consulate capacity and available appointments remain limited by the pandemic.  We have begun rescheduling interviews for applicants in classifications previously impacted by the Presidential Proclamation who had an appointment cancelled in March or April 2020.  In addition, consular officers have begun adjudicating the cases of applicants who were previously interviewed but who were refused due to the Proclamations. We will send you a letter by DHL with further instructions once your case has been reviewed.

 

So I am not expecting any movement there until all canceled interviews are done. Then I may try my luck with an expedite (somebody in other post got an expedite for a delay between USCIS-NVC which is my case). I guess he will get interview in one year, based on the current processing month for LPRs (Oct-Nov 2019)
