how long does it take to schedule an interview

[Angela9005 0]

Hello everyone! My case was completed on Wednesday and I have not yet received any letter from NVC yet ( I called and they told me my case was completed).

Do you know how long does it take for them to schedule an interview? The interview is at Guangzhou, China. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process? Should I call NVC everyday?

Thanks,

Angela

I have the same question for my fiancee. We are in the same position. Have you filled out your ds-160 yet?

I think it all depends on when your consulate start scheduling and how many slots are open. Most embassey start st begining of the month so you should hear something before 10 th of the month.

no, Lian, I have not. Do I need to fill out the DS-160?

Thank you everyone for the reply.

This is David by the way. But Lian went ahead and filled out her ds-160 once we received our case number. We also made sure that the information matched what I submitted on the I-129F just to be extra safe. She also signed up for the visa application website where you pay your fees and schedule your interview. Here is the website if you don't already have it.

You can get to it through the CEAC website. Lian received her first letter from the consulate yesterday. She was so excited!!!!! That was one week after we got our case number from the NVC. One more thing, I had a few questions for the Guangzhou consulate and I emailed them through their information page and they responded back to me in one business day. So that sounds like a good option if you need information. They seem to be nice and prompt. Here is that address. I found it on the Guangzhou website.

I hope some of this is helpful and that everything goes smoothly.

Hi David,

My apologies on calling you Lian. I believe K-1 visa might be different from IR-5 but thank you very much for the thorough information. I will definitely take a look at it now and see if I can fill out the DS160 online.

Thanks again! Good luck to you as well!

David, I went online and tried to fill out the form but it was telling me that the case number is not found. I guess NVC hasn't transferred my case to the consulate yet.
