Thank you.
Yeah, It was a long wait. We also had Nebraska Service Center which took one year to approve I-130. This immigration process really test your patience..

Thank you, my cases are immediate relative of s US Citizen and all documents have been approved and accepted ny NVC. Not sure how many months it takes to get an interview at Mumbai Consulate.
That way we can know which category you are and when you got your documents approved. By filling out the timeline, you are contributing the community. There are statistics available on VJ to guesstimate the time frame for cases based on visa type, country, consulate. Also, people tend to help more if you have this information readily available for them to answer on your timeline.☺️

Dear Friends,
Has anyone received IL from NVC over the weekends or evening (after close of business).
Thank you,
SSNK
I don't think they send ILs via mail (post). It is email only. I don't know specific for the IL but sometimes NVC emails are automated, so some may get them after hours or evening/weekend.

Is there a chance we may get it this month ? The IL.... September 3rd isn’t that far ahead I suppose ?
I am thinking that you should receive something soon (next week). However, I cannot guarantee for F3 category as I am only following CR1/IR1 visa. Let's hope that you get something soon.

Hey someone I know got his IL on the 25th of November and his case got CC on 16th August F-3. My case got CC on September 3rd when should I expect the email ? Please a reply would be nice.
You should recieve IL in 2nd/3rd week of December for January interview. In the WhatsApp group, there are 3-4 people (DQ last couple of days of August) left. We are expecting them to finish the whole September in December. Let's see what happens. They have definitely picked up the speed as they issued about 223 CR1 visa in October. For previous couple of months, they were only doing 60s.

I had to get my wife's education evaluation for further studies. We used https://www.ece.org/. Lots of colleges were requiring the evaluation to be done by them. It took 2 weeks total, 1 to send all documents and 1 to get back the results.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing the list of questions. Do you mind sharing when you got your DQ, and then the interview letter and finally the date which I thing was Nov 19th. I am trying to figure out when we will receive our interview letter and finally the interview date.
Do you mind sharing the same? It helps everyone here.

Thanks for the response @Swadesfan! do you have any idea when do they send the IL like beginning of the month or mid ? Is interview happening all weekdays in Mumbai ?
The ILs are sent usually in the middle of the month. For past couple of months, they were sent in 2 batches (2nd-3rd week) on Thursdays early morning (~4 am EST). However, this month there was only 1 batch on 14th. No ILs were received this last Thursday (21st). People are hoping they receive something today but I think they are done for the month.
Interviews happens all weekdays except holidays. They are based on how many slots are available for each category. Hopefully you get ILs in next month for January.

Hi friends.
how long will it take to get an interview date after being documentarliy qualified ?Our priority date : 24oct2018. We have applied for cr1 visa. Received DQ on 24the sep2019. Any idea how long it takes to get interview date in Mumbai?
They are scheduling people who got DQ in August for Mumbai. So most likely you will get interview letter in December for January interview.

Congratulations. I also received the DQ email for my wife in India yesterday. Now anxiously waiting on Interview Letter. Can anyone predict when NVC conducts interviews. Her Consulate is Mumbai, India.
Based on the recent trends, you may get the interview in February/March 2020. They are scheduling August DQs for December.
21 minutes ago, ljujas2019 said:Oh my goodness.. I hope you are wrong, because I got my DQ just recently, and I can't even imagine waiting until March for my interview...
I want to be wrong here. It all depends on the country/consulate. The Mumbai consulate is heavily backlogged. They are giving interviews for August DQs for December. You may don't have to wait that long. ☺️
Look at the timelines here on VJ to get the estimate.

Thank you. How many days did it take you to get the interview? When did you get your DQ email from NVC?
I got DQ on October 25. I have not received the interview yet. People who got DQ in August are getting interviews for December. Based on that, I am thinking that Sep DQs will get January and Oct DQs will be in February interviews, unless they speed up. Also,

Congratulations. Would you please let me know the Consulate location? Was it Mumbai? Everyone is telling me that the stamped passport will be mailed that takes more than a week to arrive. My preference is if we can pick it up from the Mumbai Consulate. More so, my wife doesn't live in Mumbai and it would be tough for her to go back n forth. Any update/advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Congrats again.
I did not got approved. I am still waiting for the interview at Mumbai. I heard that normally it takes 4-5 days for the passport to be delivered at the address you specified. You can also pick up in 2-3 days in Mumbai.

We've seen people say this countless times and now it's our turn to say the magic word "APPROVED".
Went in 7:30 a.m and by 9:30 a.m I was on my way.
Asked to come collect passport tomorrow at 3pm.
All's well that ends well.
Keep the faith. Yours will go smoothly like ours.Congratulations twin!!! Party time....🎉
I am very happy for you right now. It must be a great feeling of finally getting done with this torture.
It was amazing how we had pretty much same dates/timeline for everything throughout the process. I am hoping that we get interview in January/February next year.
Wish you best of luck for future...

Thank you for your answer @Swadesfan
OMG they are awful .. sorry but that’s true .. they are playing with our nerves..
« good »to know that I am not alone waiting forever ..
it is very frustrating to wait so long when some people get approved in few days .
we could think that we are used to inequality with NSC but I was hoping the things to be different at NVC stage .
I hope you get DQ at 1st time ?Yeah, I was hoping the same that at NVC, it will be equal and boy, I was so wrong 😑.
I did got DQ 1st time on OCT 25. Now waiting for the interview at Mumbai which just finished July DQs. I am guessing February Interview.

Thanks Swadesfan for your response. I updated my time line and did receive the NVC email today. I logged in and I see the payment information. My mother suppose to schedule for an interview in Saudi Arabia .
Any one with experience with the US embassy in Saudi Arabia time line ?
You are welcome and also thank you for completing the timeline. Make sure you pay the fees as soon as possible. Also looks the NVC website and monthly NVC thread here on VJ for all required documents needed for submission.
You may want to ask this question in NVC thread or country specific forum.

yep i saw that , that’s good for them 🙂
i am a black cat you are completely right !
we called NVC again yesterday to know about our case and still the same bla bla bla ..
i will not be surprised to go over 6 weeks ..after 344 days at NSC nothing is surprising me anymore
ras le bol 🤪
Don't worry. You will get it soon. My took exactly 6 weeks. I was also stuck at 362 at NSC...
The way NVC is processing cases, it is very frustrating as some people get approval in few days while some has to wait 5-6 weeks...

What are we trying to access here?
Someone created a WhatsApp group for India for people waiting for the interview. For that group, they had a spreadsheet with timeline starting from May 2019 to October 2019 case complete and interview dates. It was great because everyone can see what dates are getting interviews and one can estimate the interview date.
Unfortunately, last week the spreadsheet was locked and now requires permission to access using google account.

I entered my info, but now I have to send permission to access? anyone know why we can't see the Mumbai googledocs anymore? Thanks
I noticed that as well. I was going to enter my info last weekend but I cannot see it anymore. I have requested the permission but didn't receive any response. Did you get the permission to access?

Is there a way to find out when the Embassy received your file after DQ email?
Your file will be sent to embassy once NVC schedules the interview.
