Our case is an i130 petition and I am a US citizen petitioning for my spouse. I am writing to seek clarification regarding the scheduling of an immigrant visa interview
Recently, we received communication from the National Visa Center (NVC) confirming the approval of our request for expedited processing. As per the notification, it was stated that the embassy would be responsible for booking our appointment. However, the email we received from the embassy request us to book the appointment ourselves and upon attempting to schedule the appointment through the online portal we keep seeing notification that there no available appointments
on the ceac site, it say ''Ready'' Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time.”
I am really confused. We are reaching out to seek clarification on this matter as it seems contradictory to the expedited processing request approved by the embassy based on the email with received NVC. We believe there may be an error or misunderstanding in the process, as self-booking appointments would defeat the purpose of our expedited request.
please advise
