Dear VJ's

Our case was complete on April 28 2008,

To date the interview has not been scheduled and the NVC just told us they are finished scheduling for the month of September

The consulate is Georgetown, Guyana.

I was wondering if anyone has a idea of what the usual time frame in Guyana is between case completion and interview date or what wait time should i expect.

Regards

This is a long wait with no word on when it will end. I hope someone else from Guyana can speak to this--have you posted in the regional thread?

I get quicker responses going through one of my Congressmen. Using a Congressmen would usually take a 3-5 days to get a reply. I had emailed the consulate a few times and it was always a couple weeks before I would get a reply.

Calling the consulate might be better than emailing.

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback and support. I emailed the Guyana Embassy, they cannot do anything until the case is sent to them, a catch 22. Trying to speak to other Guyanaese to see what the usual wait is but this seems to be quite long compared to previous cases.

Will wait one more month and then try the congressman

Regards

why wait the month to contact your Congressional rep? I would do that immediately so that they are aware of what is going on...

good luck!

Wow... That's not normal, Call the embassy and your congressman, you have to ask if they have a free spot for interviews and then the embassy can request your case!
