Hey everyone!

For VJ members who have their interview dates- approximately how soon after your NOA2 did you find out what your interview date will be? (For Montreal specifically).

I know it depends on how quickly the next forms were submitted etc but we have to plan moving around my interview date so are just trying to get an idea :)

Thanks!

But, Alaska, I bet you got yours 49.3 seconds after you got case complete....yes?

LOL

If you think you hear some jealousy in my post, you are correct! LOL But I was so shocked/amazed/happy for you when I saw your time at NVC. That was amazing! :dance:

How is it even possible to fly through the NVC in 18 days (or less)???

My case:

NOA2 December 20

Entered in NVC's system December 31

Just got my IV bill on Jan 10

I did DS-3032 by email, paid both bills online the day they became available, and sent both packages via next day shipping.

They received my AoS package on Jan 5, and will receive my DS-230 package on Jan 14 (supposedly Jan 12 but I don't know if there's anyone there to receive mail on Saturdays).

But even with that, they haven't touched my AoS package yet. I'm guessing another month before I'm done with NVC.

So, how is it possible to get through so fast?
