Anyone else DQ'ed at NVC early this year and you're waiting for your interview date at the Nairobi Consulate?

All of our documents were "Accepted" in like 7 days after uploading. 

Sent an inquiry to NVC after 90 days and was told in a canned response that we are in the queue and it is fifo (first in first out). 4 months being DQ'ed and no word.

Anyone else held up at NVC heading to Nairobi or anywhere else?

The case type: IR1 

Filed year 4/15/2022.

 

The case was sent to NVC on 11/2023.

visa case documentarily qualified on 1/4/2024.

 

 

The U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, is a prolonged waiting interview U.S. embassy in East Africa country. The NVC has informed me and told me your case will remain with the NVC until the embassy has an available slot for an interview. They have cited a nonlogical reason for the backlog of cases due to COVID-19 closures. I have been waiting for my wife's visa interview to be scheduled for six and a half months.

 

What steps have I taken so far:

 

I hired a dedicated law firm for immigration lawyers, which is a very pricey law firm, to file a lawsuit for the agency to do their work.

Unfortunately, the team returned and informed me that the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, required at least a spouse visa to wait one year after the case was documentarily qualified. They refunded me all the money and told me to come back with us if the embassy does not schedule a visa interview in January 2025.

 

My suggestion for those considering selecting for the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya.

I strongly advise you to go elsewhere because the wait at the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, is so long. You will lose money and time during this extended period of time. In particular, some documents require renewal after 12 months. This will cause a long separation time and a time consuming.
