Doubt there are many questions on this way but starting the topic anyway, maybe it will be useful for someone.

 

I'm an American citizen petitioning for my minor stepson. We got DQ on 11/14/24. Will update when we get an interview.

 

Back in 2016, it was a week between finishing at NVC and scheduling the interview, for my husband! I thought it would be easy to bring a child over, but apparently nothing is easy.

The interview wait times these days around 10-12 months unfortunately. I have a client who was approved for expedited approval a month ago and has still not received their interview letter. The embassy says NVC needs to schedule it; NVC says the embassy needs to schedule it. So frustrating.

BTW, my case is also an American citizen petitioning for his son, a minor. It was approved for expediting on that basis -- we had a letter from a doctor saying he is suffering mentally from not being with his parents. you may want to submit an expedite request too.

A client in Rwanda? My stepson has spent his whole life with his mother so this would be a hard case for us to make.
