FAQ

I just called and got Case Complete how long does it take to get the email as confirmation?
Well it has been taking 5 to 7 days to get case complete email from the date they Case Complete.

How long after Case Complete will I get an interview?
Okay this is the BIG mystery of NVC. How it usually goes is end of the month and first week of month they start scheduling for interviews for the that upcoming month. Since January they have been pretty consistent starting about the last 2 days of the month and finishing that following first week of next month

Do I have to call for my interview date?
NVC has improved greatly since March. The interview letter now comes day of schedule. So call if you want its up to you.

I know someone who got interview in the middle of the month. How is that possible?
Usually when you see someone pop up with an interview outside the bunch its usually the result of a cancellation or the embassy opening up a slot. Just because scheduling stops doesn't mean they filled up all slots. They may have more slots than appointments which is good. So someone gets case complete and immediately they get an interview. It happens.

Remember every embassy has its own slots and schedule. Some like El Salvador are very busy with a long waiting list. Some like Yemen, well it may be a few months to get in. Iceland you get interview immediately scheduled after case Complete.

I need to change our interview date what do I do?
Once you receive your interview date track your casefile. Call NVC ask when your casefile left than you can follow the DHL instructions to embassy. The contact your embassy (email is best) and ask to be rescheduled later, earlier just ask.

What do I need to bring to interview?
When you receive your P4 Letter (Interview letter) it will have your personalized checklist of things to bring or not. It has been suggested because things have been lost between NVC and embassy to bring everything (Originals) to the interview so if they don't have at embassy you aren't delayed.It's up to you. It doesn't happen much but it does happen.

Yes friends I am waiting for 6.00 am to check my email because they always send at that time.lol

[TYorke1 9]

Dwheels, I hope you're well. I am a bit worried that we have not received a case complete email after we were told our case was completed last Monday (24th). We did receive an email the day after on the 25th that was a checklist to bring along to the interview (not NVC). The email said they have finished reviewing our case and I need to bring missing item to interview. Is this my case complete email? It came one day after our case was completed not one week that is why I am confused. Three different phone reps have said our case is complete but I just want to make sure.

[SmiljanaDjuro 17]

Thanks dwheels76! You and Saylin are amazig!

[Thisislife 31]

Dwheels why is it saying to take permission to view the spreadsheet?

[BOS_LHR 829]

I'm also getting a message that I need permission to view the sheet. Should be a simple switch to grant access to "anyone who has the link" with the Share button on Google.

Looking forward to seeing the new sheet, many thanks to Dwheels and Saylin!
