[monalisa2010 1]

i sent to nvc yesterday inquiring about my case which is already compelet and here is their reply any advice, dont know what is that exactuly mean pls help

=====================================================

Please be advised that we schedule interview appointments based on the capacity of the respective U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. We are unable to predict when an interview will be scheduled.

The applicant's name has been placed on the list of documentarily qualified cases awaiting the availability of visa numbers under the numerical limitations prescribed by statute. The designated representative of this case (applicant, petitioner, or attorney) will be notified of an appointment date as soon as the numbers have been received. The applicant should NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the US Embassy or Consulate General has issued a visa.

An immigrant visa is usually valid for six months from the date it is issued. It may be used to apply for admission into the United States any time during its validity.

I was told by the NVC this morning that yes they are scheduling interviews, but the April interviews are filled. They said there is a very limited amount of slots due to the fact the embassy is just starting up again. So I think it means your going to be scheduled as soon as there is a slot for you, it's the same thing I heard today too! Still we have hope for a May interview on our horizon, which is far better than what we have been going thru... the embassy being closed and no timeframe to work with... so I am hopeful and you should be too! YAY!!! Waaahooo!!!

As for some of US waiting for the Cairo Embassy to reopen, here is some information I got today from the Cairo Embassy and NVC.

- Cairo Embassy: said they would be opening mid April

- NVC: said they are already rescheduling interviews that had been canceled and setting new April & May interviews for the case completed at NVC

Now if only my case would be completed this week.

Good Luck wendy.. and thanks for the information

I am thrilled and we aren't even out of USCIS yet...lol....This gives me renewed faith and hope that things will continue to run smoothly once we make it past this RFE and get our NOA2...Enshallah, it will be in the next month or so..am finishing up the packet to send off this week...Here's to hoping and praying that we will get NVC by summer and interview by the end of summer if not sooner...one can hope, right?

I am wishing the best for all of you patiently waiting for your interviews to be rescheduled, may you get the news you're hoping for very very soon!

I just called the NVC and they said that they have no idea about scheduling interviews, and when i asked her so does that mean NVC has nothing to do with the case once it is forwarded to Cairo she said no but Egypt is a different situation

how do you talk to the NVC people and get this information ?

Sam, I know they all seem like robots at first, you just begin to ask them questions after they read off their prepared speech.

I would say to them:

"I know the embassy is opening up soon and that the NVC has begun to reschedule and schedule interviews. " Also I know there is a limited amount of slots available due to the reopening of the embassy, I would like to know if I am rescheduled for April, or if a May interview is likely?" "While I realize Egypt is a different situation than most embassies it would really give me some peace of mind if you can tell me anything."

Try this and see if it helps at all! Let me know!

LOL i got more information this time from NVC it was a guy this time he said that the NVC only schedules the initial interview appointment but if the interview was cancelled the embassy will be responsible for rescheduling

Well i don't know what to feel now lol to be happy or not :D

[Wendy<3Ahmed 12]

Hey Amber, I am glad I am not the only one who was given that information. At least I didn't dream it up, jejeje. But your right, some of the operators are had to reach/get throught to them. This morning I got a really women called Penny. You have to play with your questions. Sweet talk them sometimes. After our conversation I did tell her thank you and that she was very helpful.

Sam... BE FREAKIN HAPPY!!! WAAAHOOOO... Really I see this as excellent news, now you know your not stuck in line with us NVCers! I thought about it and it seems the embassy would take care of their own backups first before opening slots for NVC backups... ya know?! So I am thinking your going to be getting some AWESOME news sooo soon my friend, really I am so happy for you! Just promise one thing.... You will tell us right after you tell your wife, you know sort of a moral booster for the rest of us!

I am happy you actually got some clear consistent answers this time rather than the robotic mumbojumbo! I can't help it I am soooo happy today, I feel like the sun is shining for all of us today!

Thank you. Keep calling the embassy, if you dont received anything within two week I would email them you with your contact information again and request for a new interview date.
