NVC Interview Stage - Scheduling questions

[OfficialGreenT 0]

Hello all,

 

This post has three questions, so thank you in advance for your time! Just received an email from NVC stating that an interview has been scheduled with the consulate (Amsterdam). It is one calendar week from today, but my husband (the applicant) is currently visiting in the US on ESTA. We want to try to reschedule but the case is not showing up in the system yet. It states "Immigrant visa case number provided is not ready to schedule an appointment." The system tells us to wait 5 business days to see if the case shows up, but the interview is is 5 business days away. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for it to show online? We called (and actually got a hold of) NVC, but they said they can no longer reschedule interviews, and the Amsterdam consulate only provides an email address to contact them at.

 

The second question is, should we allot for any significant time between the medical exam and the interview? How long before the interview should the medical exam take place?

 

Third and final question, how long does it usually take between the interview and the passport to come back? (Assuming we do not have to go through administrative processing.)

 

Thank you all!

If your husband has been scheduled for interview, that means his case has already been transferred from NVC to the consulate.  Contacting NVC will be useless as they already passed control of the case.  You will need to contact the consulate and follow their instructions for re-scheduling.

We did contact the consulate today. They are, however, unable to find anything about us or our case... We tried case number, DOB, passport nr, A #, DS-260 number, everything. We were also told that there normally is no delay whatsoever between NVC sending us the interview date and them being able to see it in the system.

If I were you I'd fly back home and attend the interview. Its impossible to get an interview date theese days for many.
