Hello, everyone! 

 

Almost 2 weeks ago my fiance received the letter from the embassy giving us the go ahead to schedule an appointment for the interview. We received an expedite so that is why the NVC didnt schedule the interview for us. We have been checking the scheduling site every few hours, every day and so far nothing appears. does anyone have any tips for scheduling an interview? i really appreciate any help 🙏🏼

NVC never schedules interviews for K1 applicants. It’s almost always self schedule (I would say 90% of consulates have this practice) with a handful of consulates that  schedule them for the applicant but never NVC.

 

Nothing you can do but keep checking. It’s a common issue

NVC assigns a case number, does a cursory check of the paperwork, and sends the case to the appropriate consulate.  They do not schedule K-1 appointments.  I strongly urge you to study the K-1 flowsheet, available here on VJ, to familiarize yourself with the process.

Be aware that some items are consulate specific.  Good luck.

You can also try to contact your embassy directly to see if they can give you any information on the availability of upcoming interviews. I'd be sure to let them know that you have been checking the website for appointments & have not been able to find any, hence you needing to reach out to them directly.
