For those 8 countries and the ones in Africa

[substance 0]

For those who are working on their IR-1/CR-1 application and from those 8 countries and the ones in continent Africa.

I know they have to fill out DS230 part II also and NVC schedules their interview date.

DO any of you have any idea whats being done at the NVC process right after you submit all the paperwork(ds230 , i864)?

lets assume you ve done everything properly and nvc wont return your papers back to you for anything missing or mistaken.

from what I have heard....they process the forms, meaning put all the data on the system, check if you your sponsor meet with the financial requirements.

And what else?

Do NVC shedules the interview dates within this period? (they say it takes 2-4 weeks) or its after you case ve been completed and forwarded to the embassy where you will be interviewed.

if its scheduled within the nvc processing period, can we call nvc right after our case has been completed and ask them for the interview date , even before our case reach the embassy?

I called the NVC yesterday and asked them about it. They told me once you submit all the forms and necessary documents, they review them all which takes 2 to 4 weeks. Once they complete your case. They DONT send out your case right away to the embassy where you will be interviewed. They store your case at the NVC untill your interview date is scheduled, and once the embassy is ready to interview you(scheduled a date), they forward your case to the embassy. The person on the phone told me they do it very quickly, It usually takes 2-3 days for them to ask the embassy when they can schedule the interview date.

Then I asked the person if I could find out my interview date 2-3 days after my case has been completed. The person said, mostlikely yes because it doesnt take too long for the embassy(or NVC for those 8 countries and the ones in africa) to schedule an interview date for you. most cases its within 3 days.
