Hi Everyone,

First of all, I wanted to express my gratitude to this board for all the useful info. It's been tremendous help!

Just wanted to see if anyone else is in my situation.

After all the ups and downs (priority date of 7-7-11), getting RFEs, etc...finally got a case complete on 9/2/11.

Based on other's experiences, I was expecting an interview date around 10-14 days afterwards, but unfortunately, here we are 40 days later, and still no interview date :angry:

Anyone with a case complete in Sep get a date for Mumbai?

Of course, I've been calling once a week, but still get the same reply: "Your case is waiting for an interview from the consulate in Mumbai..."

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Very long than average. It used to be around 55-65 days. There is a major amount of traffic at Mumbai it seems. Even my interview is out of the normal timeline of CC to interview date.
