Does anyone know what are we supposed to do after NVC has approved all the documentation uploaded? Do we email the embassy for the email or should we just wait until nvc sends an email with the interview date?

The specific process and requirements can vary depending on the country and the type of visa you are applying for. However, in general, after NVC approves all the documentation you have uploaded, the next steps typically involve the following:

1. NVC Case Complete: Once the NVC has reviewed and approved all your documents, they will deem your case as "NVC Case Complete." This means that they have verified that you have submitted all the necessary forms and supporting documents.
2. Interview Scheduling: After your case is complete, the NVC will transfer your case to the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country. The embassy will then schedule an interview for you based on the availability of visa interview slots. The timing of the interview can vary, and it largely depends on the workload of the specific embassy or consulate.
3. Interview Letter: Once the embassy or consulate has scheduled your interview, they will typically send you an interview letter or notification. This letter will provide you with the date, time, and location of your interview. It may also include any additional instructions or documents you need to bring for the interview.

In most cases, you should not need to contact the embassy or consulate directly to request an interview date. Instead, you will typically receive communication from the embassy or consulate once they have scheduled your interview. However, if you have any specific concerns or questions about the process, it's best to consult the official website of the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country or reach out to their consular section for guidance.

 

Remember, this information is a general guideline as I am not an attorney or practice any law. This is just based on my experience.

After 630+ days, the agony of waiting for my M-I-L is over. Her I-130 & I-485 was officially approved. We've downloaded the Approval letter from the USCIS website. No interview was scheduled. Just waiting for the official letter and GC itself to arrive in the mail. Man that was quite long wait.

 Congratulations! This is what I mean when I advise applying for I-131 and I-765 for people on K-1 (I know your case is different). People think AOS takes 6-9 months, when in reality it can take forever like with your MIL

Exactly! Agreed, it's not like how it used to be. Thanks BTW.
