How long takes to get an interview date - London

[FlorRosa 0]

Hi All

I was wondering how long it will take until I get an interview date? Medical was done on the 3rd January and forms sent on the 4th. I called the "extortion" line and they advised it will be between 4 and 6 weeks? Is that a joke or something??? On the first letter that I got it says that I-130 process is taking 12 weeks to be processed, is this means 12 weeks to complete everything including interview or just to get an approval??

Once again, this is a joke, they should not play up with people's lives...

Thanks all

Will post the same as I just posted elsewhere:

The ONLY way of contacting the London immigrant visa unit is LondonIV@state.gov - don't bother wasting your money with the phone lines- the one the embassy gives you (0904-2450100) are for non immigrant appointments, and the embassy switchboard (0207-4999-000) will tell you it it not possible to be put through to the immigrant visa unit.

If you want an update or to at least speak to a human, then you can call the Dept Of State (from the UK, dial 001-202-663-1225 , option 1, then option 0 ) give them your case number and they will tell you if an interview has been scheduled or the last update on your case.

Other than that there is nothing they ,or you, can do except wait.

your interview letter- what date was typed on letter? Just curious as I contacted embassy last Friday and they have informed me that it will be 4-6 weeks before we will receive interview letter! Hoping it would come sooner...thanks

My hubby had his medical on Feb 4 and I sent Ds230 part 1 about 2 weeks before that, then sent DS2001 the day of the medical. We've not heard anything yet. I've called the number mindthegap gave, and the person I spoke with said an interview had not been assigned. The waiting game continues...
