Hello everyone, I know trying to get a time frame for interviews in Ciudad Juarez is almost impossible. Just trying to maybe get an idea. I was document qualified and received an email from the NVC that all my documents were accepted in May 2020. Should I expect an interview scheduled soon?

Yeah... not anytime soon. You're looking at at least another 24 months, but probably longer. They're currently working on cases from March/April 2019.

24 months!? Do you really think that long? I’ve already almost waited two years!

I would say, sometime  next year unless things really pick up(more staff)

The current status on CEAC website shows my paperwork is at NVC with a priority date of July 2019. I received an email in may of 2020 stating that all my paperwork was accepted and waiting for an interview. Should I expect something soon or should i expect a longer wait?

 

Thank you, sorry if i am a bit unclear

I'd say at least another year... They're currently working on cases with "Case Closed" of May/June 2019. Looks like you case was closed at the NVC on May 2020.

 

My case closed on November 2019 and I am still waiting for an interview.
