Since they have cleared back log , normal wait time resumes. It will be 3-5 months. 

Seriously?  Interview as soon as 3 months after DQ?  I think we will get DQ mid-June, so hoping for interview before end of year.

We submitted everything to NVC April 6 so we are expecting DQ first week of July, if we only have 3 months after that it would be great.

As per below, NVC is reviewing the documents submitted 02/13/2022. As there are backlogs, it took for us 3 months to get DQ date after submitting the documents to NVC  !!  At least this gives some idea when ours will be reviewed, but waiting for interview letter is a pain as we have no clue on when we would receive the letter and when will have interview ..

Hello guys, 

I would like to share my experience with everyone with what I have experienced during biometric appointment scheduling:

 

My interview was on 28th April 2022. I had taken biometric schedule appointment on 27th April at 11am. I had also selected 'premium delivery' service while scheduling the appointment online so that the passport is delivered to my home address. All went smooth until after the interview I learned that my passport is at hold with VAC mumbai. The reason for this is because the zip code I live in, is not serviced by blue dart and therefore, they will not deliver the passport to my home address.

 

So before you choose the service for 'premium delivery' during biometric appointment, go to blue dart website and check 'location served' and provide the zipcode, if it says location is not serviced - do not pick 'premium service' for delivery.

Instead pick the option of 'pick up' and choose the city near to you and that way passport will be available for pick up at the nearby VAC approved pick up location.

 

Note: I have two options now, either go to bombay VAC location and pick up the passport or request them to reschedule the delivery for which I had to email them for the same and that process is bit tricky but can be done.

No one can say for sure right now. Following other people's timelines will give you a better idea of when your IL will come.

Seems like they processed fist week of December now.

I would opt for the second option. Assuming a week delay is okay.

Hi All,

 

I am new into this forum. Can someone tell me how frequently do they sent out the IL batches for CR1 visa category.

Is it monthly or every 2-3 weeks?

[Dhanpreet 0]

Hi,

I was getting nervous looking at the NVC backlog. Me and my wife were DQ'd (IR1) Jan 19 2022, and I thought it might take a year. Reading this entire thread, it looks like we might be getting notified in the next few weeks? Does that seem realistic?
