Mine was on Oct 7/2020 but at the Bogota Colombia embassy they are very late and slow to give appointments and they go on DQ in March 2020. We just have to wait.

Oh I already got an interview appointment even  before the embassy got my case.

This is the process :

*Case is DQ'd by NVC.

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

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

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

*NVC notifies person of interview date.

*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.

 

But you are requesting expedite?

What was your reason to expedite if you don't mind me asking? Our case is also at the  Zagreb embassy-wish we could just jump ahead to the interview after over a year of waiting already 😕

I was already in the states a year before on my tourist visa. I got a thyroid medicine in the US because I was trying to get pregnant so I used that as a reason why I need to go back asap. But even before that NVC approved few of my documents in a just few days after I uploaded them. Do you know a reason why you are waiting for so long?

I see people talking about scheduling their own interview through https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

How does that figure into the process? What's a scenario where you would schedule your own instead of NVC scheduling it for you as you described it?

Depends on the visa category and sometimes, the consulate too.  In most consulates, IR1/CR1 interviews are scheduled by NVC or the consulate, never by the visa applicants.

Because it took the Texas Service Center 11 months to approve our I-130. Now we are waiting on the NVC to review our docs which will take about 2 more months
