HI all............... I am new to this website ..........can someone PLEASE tell me generally how long it takes for the interview date to be set up once nvc completes case? My case was completed on Dec29 2008 and i still havent received anything. I know it may sound like im being impatient but I got married in jun 2007 and am still waiting for my husband to get here. Its a shame it takes this long for a US citizen to bring their spouse over.

Where can i can to get info about the interview date. I called the visa bulletin number on the NVC website but that is sooo hard to understand.

I called the nvc info line and all that says is "case was completed on 29dec2008 pls allow 8 weeks for further info"

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE

HI everyone. My case was complete 11/4/08. My lawyer contacted the NVC they said yes case is complete just waiting interview in Cairo embassy. I see Cairo has numerious DV interviews in February. This is probably why we did not get in February. I pray we all will be with our loved ones soon!!

Quick question. When an interview has been scheduled by NVC does the automatic voice record announce the appointment date? Thanks for your response, I appreciate it.

i am sooooooooooooooooo frustrated..................i have been trying to call the visa specialist line all day. I have been on hold on 2 phones waiting to get thru.............as on right now on one phone i have been on hold for 1 hour and 9 mins and on the second phone i have been on hold for 2 hours and 41 mins...........

do agents actually answer the phone and is it just a loop? i have wasted half of my day with this......................

:(

all i can think is why me??????????????????????????

case originally submitted in oct 2007

and the nvc has just completed it last month..................... why is it taking us sooooooooooooooooo long????????????? its soooooooooooooo unfair.......... if i was a rich woman..................i would have just moved overseas :(

sorry for venting...........

i think it is important to realize that you cant set your hopes on any time frame

there is none

every situation is so different

there are also no guarantees

unfortunately, like all who have gone before, you just have to do everything to letter and wait

certainly utilize all your options

but as hard as it is ....you need to keep lots of patience

good luck on your journey..i know it is not easy
