Hi VJ Family,

Happy New Year! i have not been here since the new year. I hope u all are doing great. Pls kindly respond to my question. How long does it take to get a case complete at the NVC and how long will it take to get an interview date thereafter? are there any specific things i need to do like call or email them while waiting from response from them. I sent my Ds230 signed and unsigned part 1 and 2 forms plus my civil documents to them on the 19th of Dec and i tracked and confirmed it had been signed for and received by NVC on the 21st of Dec. I will appreciate your responses. Thanks.

From my experience thus far I have learned its always a good idea to call NVC and check on your case. You often find out the status before they contact you or send an email. The operator may ask when did you send youer DS230 and then tell you it takes 20 business days for them to review everything. But I have learned its less than 20 days from them receiving everything to case complete. After your case is complete then NVC says interviews are scchedule during the first two weeks of every month. I think it would be a good idea to call on Monday and check on your case. By the way even though you know they have recieved the operator may say that they are still waiting for it. Do not be alarmed. Your paperwork is there just that the information has not been entered in the system yet to complete your case. Best advise is to keep calling and ask what the next step it and case status. Hope this helps. Good luck
