NVC sent case to embassy, but no interview date yet.

[fati 0]

Hi all,

My husband's CR-1 case was completed at the NVC in July 2012. His case was sent to US embassy in Armenia today, but we still do not have an interview date yet. Is that normal? Do they first send out the case and then give us a date for the interview????

When I asked the operator at NVC, she said it is up to the embassy as to when they will give us an interview date, but they are going to send our case to them today!

Please help and let me know if this is the normal procedure for NVC? Has anyone else gone through this??

Unless Armenia is different from all the other countries in the IR-1/CR-1 process, NVC schedules the interview date first and only after that do they send the case abroad.

I'd suggest calling up another operator and asking about your case. Sometimes operators give out bad info.

My case was expedited. Does that make a difference?

Isn't it better if NVC schedules the interviews?

Because once it is abroad and in the hands of the embassy to schedule the interviews, I heard it may get lost, or the embassy may just ignore it. Is that correct??

I am getting extremely nervous. I am beginning to think that an expedite is maybe not such a good idea.

Call NVC

Also, if a case is expedited, shouldn't we get an e-mail from NVC stating that our case was approved for expediting?

I guess you should receive confirmation email from NVC. But one thing i know is that if the case is expedited, you have to schedule the interview by yourself. just call NVC.

My wife and I are in the exact same situation you are in. I filed the petition on her behalf that took about a year to be approved from immigration, then on June 27, 2012 our case was also approved by the NVC, originally we were going through the U.S. Consulate in Turkey, but after some time waiting, and when I explained the situation my wife was in (she lost employment after 7 yrs because they found out she married an American) they asked the consulate in Ankara if they would be willing to expedite our case and they replied no, Yerevan stated that they would accept the expedited case. I recently called the NVC and asked them about our date; like you they stated that would be up to the embassy in Yerevan.

Also, when you check their website they state how busy and understaffed they are and prefer correspondence through email. And, when you do further investigation they also state it takes several weeks for them to give any info on a case once it has been sent from the NVC. I am waiting for a reply from one o f the emails I sent, but will be calling tomorrow if I don’t hear back from them. Like you, my wife and I have been going through this process since February of last year. We did the engagement and final marriage in Tehran, Iran.

I stated in my letter my concern was not only her employment status, and the fact with current embargos I am not able to send her any money and have to wait for a friend who is going but also the political turmoil that both the U.S. and Iran are going through.

Best of Luck to you and yours
