The delay is due to the pandemic

The pandemic has delayed everyone and everything regarding immigration.  It sounds as if you in the NVC queue for your consulate.  When you reach the front of that queue, NVC will schedule your interview.

 

As far as your second question, here are the qualifications for a V visa:

Any idea which month(document approval date) is getting interview dates?

This is embassy-specific. Go to PORTALS (on top of the page) and look at others from the same embassy as you.

my husband has applied for spousal immigration visa-i130 for me. Visa IR1/CR1. I stay in India and COVID has definitely stalled the whole process 
 

I have five questions 

 

1) Currently my center is at Mumbai, India; is there a way I can shift my interview center to Delhi? 
 

2) my police verification would complete a year in June/July - Do I need to do a new police verification for the interview? 
 

3) I have change the job and location since getting documentary qualified. Do I need to update this somewhere? If yes- how? 

 

4)  it will be 2 years since application and I got documentation qualified in sept 2020. I am still waiting for my interview- can I apply for long separation? 
 

5) can mental health and stress be a reason for expediting?

Answers:

• No
• Shouldn't need a new one but others can probably answer more definitively.
• Not necessary to do.
• Don't know what this is.
• Not included in established expedite criteria so a request on that basis is more likely than not to be rejected.

1) Currently my center is at Mumbai, India; is there a way I can shift my interview center to Delhi? No, all fiance/spousal is done at Mumbai 
 

2) my police verification would complete a year in June/July - Do I need to do a new police verification for the interview? If your interview is before June/July probably not needed, but it wouldn't hurt to get it re-done. 
 

3) I have change the job and location since getting documentary qualified. Do I need to update this somewhere? If yes- how? Should not matter. Mainly petitioner's information matters

 

4)  it will be 2 years since application and I got documentation qualified in sept 2020. I am still waiting for my interview- can I apply for long separation? If you DQ'd in Sep 2020, why was your PCC done so early? I also do not know what long separation is, but 2 years is fairly normal for spousal 
 

5) can mental health and stress be a reason for expediting? No...this would apply to all of us then

Hi, I have been DQ’d since sept 2020 and still haven’t received any interview date. Does anyone know which month is going on. 

 

My husband is a permanent resident and stays in LA. I am in India.

 

thanks, 

Trisha.

No. One of the requirements is that I-130 was filed "on or before December 21, 2000" https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-green-card-holders-permanent-residents/v-nonimmigrant-visas

 

That is why it's been decades since V visas have been issued: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant--visa-for-spouse-and-children-of-a-lawful-permanent-resident.html "While U.S. immigration law still includes a provision for the V visa category for qualified spouses and children (under age 21) of U.S. lawful permanent residents (LPRs), we do not foresee that any V visas will be issued, since potential applicants will not meet the criteria explained below."
