I haven't even gotten a NOA1 yet

From what I hear, that's pretty normal. USCIS has been horrible the last couple months at sending out notices within a reasonable amount of time.

Hang in there, I'm sure one will be coming

Has anyone called for an interview this month?

[LadyJane 1]

I thought I'd be cheeky and start pestering the NVC when my husband's interview would be. The (nice) operator told me that they're still scheduling interviews, so check back early next week.

My husband e-mailed the NVC on Monday - no word yet. I'll call on Monday if there is no e-mail.

our case was complete at the nvc around the 28th of august........interview scheduled for the 6th of december. so 3 months and a week or so between. not bad considering all summer it was 5- 6 months.

my case was finished on 11/15/07..... but i had my case open for about a year already since last November I was wondering if i would have to wait 3 months for an interview, because when i called the NVC they told me that they are still scheduling intveiws and i dont get one in december it will be in january. anyone know how it may look?

Hi lebtro,

It can take up to 6 months to get an interview in Montreal - from the time it completes at NVC. They don't take in to account when you actually filed your I-130.

Just called NVC (couldn't wait) and the operator said they have finished scheduling interviews for December.

I knew we wouldn't have a Dec one, but I was hoping for an early scheduling of Jan or Feb.

Oh well... and the wait continues.

Oh rats. Well as you already know, might be worthwhile calling them later next week since they never seem to really know when they are finished scheduling.

Wow trailmix...if they don't hurry the heck up and complete your case, I'm seriously taking NVC off my X-mas card list

I have a theory about the hold up at NVC on our file. I jumped the gun and made up my own cover letter for my RFE for the DS-230. What I didn't know was the operator didn't tell me they wanted a copy of my Husband's PR card. I received the RFE a couple of days later and submitted that as well (they received it October 3rd).

Well nothing happens, the weeks pass and the operators keep saying, no they haven't reviewed that, just ignore the RFE for the PR card.

In late Oct I receive the 2nd RFE and I submit it anyway, with the PR card.

So they have that now (since Nov 1st) , and I escalated it last week as well. My theory is whomever is handling the file decided I had been a bad bad RFE person and so our file is sitting under a pile of other files on a desk.

I am now angry.

it could take up to 6 months??? when i called the NVC they said it might be in dec or jan... I had everything complete but they were waiting for the orginal documents of the marriage and birth certificate. What do you think the chances are that I would get an interview before the end of the year or in Jan. And is there any way to speed the process?

Also when i called last night they told me they were not finished secudleing for DEC. Not sure why some people get some answers and other people get another.

As for the answers about whether the scheduling is finished or not, seems to happen every month - everyone getting different answers.

I can't really answer the December or January comment that NVC made, from looking at our timeline to interview table here you can see that just is not true - maybe it is their standard answer - most consulates interview wait is much shorter.

Just a guess.
