Could anyone tell me a reason?

This is not my case. It's about my friend, but I was wondering why.

My A friend sent back the documents needed for making an interview appointment on Oct 26. A week later, she was informed that her interview date is January 2 at 7.30am. Her NOA1 is dated on March 8, 2006 and NOA2 on Sep 25, 2006.

My B friend sent back the documents on Nov 7. Today, she was informed that her interview date is Dec 20 at 7.00am. Her NOA1 is dated on June 9, 2006 and NOA2 on Sep 7, 2006.

My A friend is supposed to have an interview before my B friend, is it correct? They both provided a reason for having an interview ASAP that they both planned to get married before the end of this year. But why my B friend got the interview date before my A friend????? Could anyone clarify this to me? Thanks.

It could be where their papers is going and how busy their conculates are.

Clarification:

1. Life is not fair.

2. Not every case/circumstance is the same.

3. There is more than 1 person handling cases at the consulate so mileage may vary.

4. There are more variable than submission/receipt date alone.

5. If further clarification is needed, refer to 1. above.

Exactly....

Each person's situation is unique... there could be many, many variables why this is so. The process is not first in, first out. If that were the case, the cases that were relatively problem free would have to wait forever for those cases that were not problem free.

Thanks everyone. I'd try to stick to the fact that life is not fair.

Actually, my A friend's fiance wrote an email to the Consulate explaining the reason why he and his fiancee would like to have a faster interview appointment. This was before my B friend sent back the documents. But there is no response and out of the blues, my B friend got an interview on Dec 20.

Life is really not fair.

James n Naina,

The notice dates for the petitions are not relevant.

Perhaps shortly after 7 November a cancellation opened up a spot in the interview schedule, and your friend B was lucky enough to be the next case to be scheduled after the opening occured. Somebody would have had to be the lucky person. (No, the consulate would not re-schedule an entire string of interviews to move hundreds of people forward one slot to fill up the open space.)
