Stevie B this is not true. You have said this before and its wrong. The embassy has no idea about us IR1/CR1 unless we are DCF or Expedite. NVC schedules for us okay not embassy. There is a calendar

Dear Sir or Madam:

The National Visa Center has received all documentation necessary to complete pre-processing

of your case. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner

and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

The applicant should NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment

until the US Embassy or Consulate General has issued a visa.

The US Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of

the interview. Additional documentation requirements if applicable can be referenced at

the following URL: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3742.html

Sincerely,

Director

National Visa Center

This is what I got this morning instead of my interview date. Yet again today no Interview date. I know I know I have to keep clam... People are waiting here since last month and I have no idea why NVC does not understand that we been through really painful journey to reach here and they are just pushing it beyond we can bare it.

I recieved this email on 07/08, I thought the day we recieve this email would be our case complete date?, isn't it true? the actual date can it be earlier than that?

Guys, I don't think calling the NVC does anything..Did anyone get a different answer besides "we don't have an interview scheduled yet"? I don't think they have access to the interview info.do they?

Calling the NVC will give you the most updated status of your case. YES, they will let you know if an interview has been scheduled. If you choose not to call, they will email you which can be delayed up to a week from the ACTUAL date. They told you they don't have an interview because they haven't started giving them yet. ;)

The NVC will let you know via the phone when they have the interview scheduled. DOS can also let you know that information.

The NVC will send you Packet 4 (P4) which is the interview letter, sometime between when they schedule the interview to a week or two later. Mine was received same day, but last month many people had to wait a week.

To my understanding, embassy provides open slots and available appointments to the NVC for upcoming month, NVC does the scheduling.

Stevie B this is not true. You have said this before and its wrong. The embassy has no idea about us IR1/CR1 unless we are DCF or Expedite. NVC schedules for us okay not embassy.

There is a calendar just like what the K1's use when they get to schedule their interviews. The embassy sends the calendar with how many slots and dates are available to CR1/IR1 and others waiting at NVC. The NVC starts assigning.

Once scheduled your casefile is bundled up and sent to the embassy where they do their logging and assign your case to a CO to review and prepare for interview.

******To every one here this is normal. As i stated before scheduling after the 10th to the 20th use to be the norm up until January. Nothing sinister is going own so no conspiracy theories here. just hang on.

And the person answering the phone is just an operator. They are told one way or another no interviews or they are scheduling. It's coming people.
