2) Package received at CR embassy 7/29 (ditto)

3) Case closed 7/29

Hi Vanessa

Contrary to what others are saying, the people I know are getting thru NVC quickly so long as they are careful with their paperwork, so you will be on your way sooner than you think

Yes that's a myth. When NVC completes the case, they look for what is available in the way of appointments at the applicable Consulate. If available, the appointment is scheduled. If not appointments are currently available, they assign when they are. There ARE some Consulates that make their future dates available on a set schedule.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
