Awaiting an interview slot.

[movetousa2021 3]

Hello. 

So, my wife and I posted our application earlier this year and have had a notification to say that everything has been accepted. The questions are now;

If it has been accepted, does that mean that everything has been processed and granted pending an interview and a medical? And also, how long will it be approximately until I receive a notification inviting me for both?

 

I assume that once you’ve made it to this stage in the process and you’re interviewing/having a medical, it’s basically a formality that you’ll get granted the visa?

 

Thanks!

No, not at all.   The petition approval (where you are now), simply means that the eligible relationship and all the supporting documentation have been submitted and approved.   The interview is the actual approval/denial of a visa.

Please fill out your timeline for the best info.  A lot of the information you are seeking is consulate-specific.

Approval/denial of a visa application is made by the CO at the time of the interview. The NVC just collects fees and documentations before the case is sent to the embassy/consulate. 

I am not sure on which embassy you are waiting, but you can always look for your embassy's  discussion forum.

I don’t know the dates of when it was submitted, but we got approval of our documentation through on August 5th. The interview will be conducted in London.

It’ll be London for me. That’s the closest one, and that’s about 350 miles away 😭
