Just learnt this morning that our case has been completed at the NVC!! :dance::dance::dance:

Now I'm wondering: does anyone know how long it takes London to schedule a green card interview after they receive the stuff from NVC?

I have of course looked it up and seen responses varying from two weeks (although I think that was a K3) but there's another Green Card UK couple on here who have been waiting since the beginning of October and not got an interview date yet.

The official info is that London takes 4-12 weeks.

Is that 4-12 weeks to SCHEDULE an interview, which is then another 4 weeks? Or is that 4-12 weeks between receiving package and having the interview? Because I seem to remember that when you get your interview letter through, the interview is usually scheduled about a month in advance.

Any info would be much appreciated!

Most of the people I've seen, the 4-12 weeks is to schedule. People seem to the interview notice 3 or 4 weeks before the interview. Just my own observations of course :)
