Lagos has been slow in scheduling interviews this year. It used to be within days, latest weeks. maybe it is due to summer vacation applicants.

I got case complete jan 28th and did not get a date until march 5th! for April 19th.

The following thread was opened to guide people on wait times for interview for their various embassies/consulates ;

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/422032-may-2013-interviews/page__pid__6177868__st__420#entry6177868

Just study your country on the list and compare those who have their interview dates already by looking at when they had case complete, when they Received the date and what date they were given. you most likely will have a June interview date with the current trend.

NVC or DOS will continue to say they cannot tell when dates will become availale until the embassy gives them available slots , then they schedule. Lagos should be releasing dates within the next week and after.

This is unfair after waiting 8 months with Vermont Service Center now i might have to wait one month for my wife to be scheduled for an interview. This is no longer immigration i am sure it will get even worst next year.

No we didn't call at all after it completed. It was assigned and an email was sent when the interview was scheduled.

These past two months,NVC has been pretty good with keeping to their protocol of interview notice via email. i would still call at least twice weekly to check in though. In january, two members got their interview dates via phone call too NVC but never received the email until almost 3weeks later!!!! At least that phone call got them 3weeks of last minute tidying up for their interviews.

Interesting.I thought you went online to schedule interview date. I didn't know they automatically emailed it. The approval is only good for 4 months. Scarey to think it could expire before the interview. But that's mot likely to happen is it? Ours is at nvc. Do I just wait for an email or do I call them?

Each step of the immigration process has its wait time.I thought interviews are scheduled 2nd week of each month, a month has gone by and still no word. I will feel so much better knowing there's an actual date....Month/date and time.Our anxiety level is on high alert from when we first started at USCIS.
