NVC approval to Embassy appointment? Argentina

[LauriU21 5]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how long it takes from NVC case approval to appointment at the Embassy in Argentina?  I filed for my husband and we have a priority date of 6/12/2020 and NVC approved our case on 12/27/20.

 

Thanks!

This is the process after NVC DQs a case.  It could be a while.

 

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case the enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5. NVC notifies person of interview date.

6. NVC then sends case to consulate.

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.  You can assume there is a significant backlog.

Hi! I was about to ask the same question, so hopefully someone from Argentina can let us know if they’ve received an interview letter/date recently. We became DQ just last Friday (January 15th) but since the whole process has been pretty quick so far, I’m hopeful for a February or March interview date.

We got the interview email today!!! The date they gave us is March 18, so tomorrow we’ll get in touch with the approved physician to see him/her as soon as possible and get that part rolling.
 

Have you heard anything yet?

Hello, I would like to know your experience with the physician and how much did everything cost?

TIA

Hi!

So the physician appointment was $5000 and then the lab tests and x-rays are about 15,000 or so. You basically spend about 20,000. The experience was fine. It's mostly paperwork. Take all the vaccination records you have if you can, takes about an hour, hour and a half. The lab you do somewhere else, and it goes pretty fast. They send everything digitally to the embassy.

 

Our Experience: We had our interview on Monday and everything worked out. Some tips:

Be very organized with all paperwork including, but not limited to: original birth certificates, marriage cert, translations in place, police background check with art.51 exclusion and translation, evidence of relationship, 1040 and supporting financial documents, DS-260 confirmation and print out I-864 just in case. Make sure you take all passports ever had and the 5cm x 5 cm photos they ask for (to be safe 4 of them). They'll take your fingerprints, ask questions as to relationship and usually will make a decision before you leave. You can expect to get your passport with approval stamp, etc. within 2 weeks via courier if you get approved. That's all I know and what our experience was. Good Luck to all in this process, I know it's a lot, but it will be worth it once you get there
