I mean to say - Any news on sending the note to consulate on conducting the video interviews ? Count me in too.

So yesterday, one of my family member became US citizen and we went for interview at USCIS office. Even though we had to go to the USCIS office for the interview, they took the interview via video conferencing on tablet. The officer was virtual and was speaking to my family member via video call and took the interview that way.

 

Why can't similar thing be done at Mumbai consulate? This sounds insane and people are getting out of patience.

I agree. Why can't they do the same thing at Mumbai or any other places ?

Lotta us from September-December 2020 got interview letters(IL) or within a month of getting a IL just to have Mumbai close down again this year. Hopefully those of your that have been DQd this fall have a much speeder process😁

Yes I am. Priority date doesn't matter now. It's all DQ date. To my knowledge  people with DQ date around Nov 2020 are still waiting for interview to be scheduled.

Same. DQ'd Aug.6, 2021I'm in contact with my local congressional rep. I'm going to ask them to possibly see if they can hold virtual interviews. It never hurts to ask. 

It's really not acceptable that we are all on hold with our lives and marriages, for years. My lawyer said there are two other couples she is representing from India waiting for IL as well. They applied six months before we did. Once they get IL she says we will be not long after.

We were DQ’d December 2020…..only good thing bout the wait is that now we moved into IR category lol. 
Yep, I’m gonna get ahold of my my Representative and Senator if haven’t heard anything by Feb 1st. If children can be taught algebra through a computer screen then there’s no reason interviews can’t be done; I couldn’t even learn algebra in person 😆. 
Had we known it was gonna take this long for an interview my hubby woulda started swimming after getting DQ’d, he woulda been here long time ago lol

I just realized we are now IR-1 too. In May it will be our 3 year anniversary. I’m looking forward to when we can be together to celebrate this.

Sorry to interrupt but as per my best knowledge, Immigration rules don't allow Embassy/Consulate offices to conduct virtual interviews.

Yes this is true. But we are hoping perhaps an exception can be made since it’s been so long for so many of us. Years of being apart is cruel. I mean, we have gotten documents that they themselves would never be expected to obtain. I understand being thorough, but this is a unique time we are in.
