    You are welcome! As for the system problem, I guess it must be due to NVC updating the system or something like that... Don't worry, it'll be back! I hope everything goes well!

    The email you got is already the "interview letter". If you have any questions, I think it's best to ask the embassy directly.

    Maybe we can consider creating a google form survey, which will send the results to a google sheet automatically (instead of having to accumulate the results manually after searching people's posted timelines).

    Congrats!! Actually, I later discussed this with other people; someone pointed to me that DOS allocates a visa number when they schedule an appointment. "Visa numbers are always allotted for all documentarily qualified applicants with a priority date before the relevant cut-off date, as long as the case had been reported to VO in time to be included in the monthly calculation of visa availability." (Last paragraph in page 2 of this document: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Immigrant Visa Control System_operation of.pdf) So I guess people who are included in the "monthly calculation of visa availability" actually already have a visa number allocated. And since the monthly calculation happens at the beginning of a month. (On the visa bulletin of September, one can find that the date was August 2nd). In the rare situation where the visa is eventually refused, this visa number will be returned to the pool. Otherwise, I think people with interviews scheduled in September should have their visas issued as usual.

    Yes, the immigrant visas won't be issued until October 1st. That's what DOS said in the link.

    The annual limits for EB1, EB3 & EW, and EB5 have all been reached, so if you are EB1/3/5 and you don't have an interview scheduled yet, chances are you'll need to wait until the new fiscal year (October). https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-reahed-in-the-eb-1-category.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-eb3-ew.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-eb5.html

    You should contact NVC (via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html ) to tell them about your situation and change your interview location from India to Canada.
  13. sophie22
    Yes, you can transfer to your country of origin. I think you only need to contact NVC (via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html ) to ask about the transfer.

    Welcome! That's indeed worrying... There was another data point in this tread that was DQ'ed in July 2023 and is still waiting.

    I just found this paragraph on the NVC inquiry webpage (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html) concerning the interview scheduling: Note the first sentence, " The U.S. Embassy or Consulate tells NVC which dates they are holding interviews.", somehow I totally missed this before. So, I think if there is a delay in the interview scheduling, most likely it is due to the embassy.

    Not in Spain, but in Paris. Someone (with an EB2 case) in Paris who also DQ'ed in December 2023 but is still waiting for the interview letter. I'm not sure if this is a special case or if it's becoming a trend... (See the thread here:

    10 months is quite long. You said before that you contacted the Paris embassy and they told you your case is still at NVC. Did you email the embassy? Could you share the contact here? I wonder if it is because of the Olympics in Paris this summer or it's because of NVC not doing their work...
  20. sophie22
    Also, I don't know if this is possible, if the delay is due to the Olympics, perhaps one can try ask if it's possible to change to a consulate in nearby countries, like in Germany? Just a thought..
  21. sophie22
    I see, 5.5 months is a bit frustrating, but it's good that both NVC and the embassy have confirmed that you are waiting in line. By the way, how did you contact the embassy? Is it through email? I wonder if the wait is because of the Olympics... Hopefully, you'll get the IL soon, keep us posted!

    I see. Is that guy also waiting for an interview in Paris? Hopefully, this one case doesn't reflect a general trend. 7 weeks seems not too bad, keep us posted if you receive the interview letter, I hope it'll come soon!
