Hello,

Just searching for some advice. I am the US petitioner for my Indian husband and we are currently residing for the past 8 months in Mumbai waiting for the USCIS approval (we just received NOA2 this week). We did not file DRF, I came to India after filing.

My original plan was to stay here with him until his interview was scheduled and then return home to re-domicile and restart my job. I will already be able to prove domicile with no problem for the NVC paperwork, but figured being in the US at the time of his interview would just be more helpful to his case.

However, as I now understand it, NVC schedules the interview FOR HIM? What if the interview comes too quickly, not allowing me enough time to get back to the US? We were expecting to be able to have at least a month between completing NVC and him going for interview. What is the likelihood of the interview coming quicker than that? Should I leave before we are done with the NVC step?

Anyone living abroad in similar situation? Also please feel free to direct me to any other threads that might be able to help me out...I've been scroll through quite a few already.

Thanks!

The likelihood in India is remote at best. It is going to be about 3 months at NVC (depending when your casefile arrives). Than 2 to 3 monyhs waiting on a interview. You drive how fast you want to get through NVC you can sit a year if you like.

So I would bet 100% you will have more than a monyh after case complete to interview.
