I am a U.S citizen petitioning for my spouse and child who are leaving overseas. The wait time to get Interview Letter (for CR/IR visa applicants) after DQ is between 20 & 24 months for the embassy in the country they reside (Ethiopia). According to the resent Monthly Immigrant Visa Issuance Statistics, the embassy issued 125 and 134 CR/IR visas in March and February, respectively. Thus numbers are really disappointing; considering the 24 months backlog the embassy has. But that is not what caught me by surprise... I have friends who filed V92 (Asylee) visas for their spouse and children. In their case, they are able to schedule their interview within few weeks after NVC receives their application. This is because, unlike CR/IR cases, NVC doesn't handle the scheduling of V92 visas. Rather, NVC forwards the application to the embassy effectively allowing applicants to schedule appointments. Whereas for CR/IR applicants, NVC is holding the cases for 2 years, denying applicants the opportunity to book appointment when available. In addition, USCIS is terminating K-3 cases during I-130 approval; effectively denying the opportunity to reunite with our families using K visa. To me, it looks like USCIS, NVC and Embassies are penalizing CR/IR applicants. I just wish there was a legal path to sue NVC and Embassies for this is a clear bias.

If your account shows the "pay now" button, I would pay again. That way your case will progress and you won't waste a month waiting. You will eventually get the refund for the duplicate charge but waiting could result in unnecessary delay. Your call.

Yep, considering the current NVC processing time, you will hear back in 2 weeks time.

It goes to the bottom of the pile again. This happened to us few weeks back.

Mine came on Saturday, mid night. So you might get it this weekend. If not, you will most likely get it by Monday. In the meantime, prepare and organize your documents (if you haven't done already). Good Luck!

Yes, the welcome letter is sent to both the petitioner and beneficiary.
