Case still at NVC after accepted documents

[Parahybana 1]

Hey everyone, my case got reviewed and accepted at the NVC in early February, since then, my wife and I have been waiting for an interview to be scheduled with no updates. Upon checking the NVC page, it says my case is still at the NVC. Is this normal? Should we just be patient or did something go wrong and do we have some calls to make?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

It is normal.  Your case will remain at NVC until the case has reached the front of the queue for your consulate.  At that time, NVC will schedule the interview.  This is the process:

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

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

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

4. NVC schedules interviews beginning with the ones at the front of the queues.  Your interview will be scheduled when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.

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.

Thank you so much! My wife and I were starting to get worried but this explains so much! Any idea if there are estimated wait times for the consulates? Ours is Brussels, if that helps?
