Approved by USCIS

[mcurrie03 0]

Hi,

Last week my fiancé and I were approved by the USCIS and now waiting on our letter from the NVC. We already have a wedding date set for July 5,2014. Will he be able to have his interview before then? I have read many peoples post saying how they have been waiting for months to receive an interview date. We are tied to a signed contract, mailed out save the dates... are we cutting it close with time or will we be fine?

I don't think anyone here can tell you definitely the answer to your question. What they do say here, is not to buy a ticket, or make wedding plans and arrangements, until the visa is in your hand.

You might be okay, but it really depends on how fast you move through the NVC. You can look at my timeline below to see how long it took us from the NOA2 to the interview, but there is no guarantee you'll have the same timeline. If you've spent any time on VJ, you have probably noticed that it is not advisable to have a wedding date set in stone unless you have a visa in hand. I made the same mistake (my wedding was planned for October, decided to move it in July when we got the RFE). I was lucky in that my vendors allowed me to move everything without charging me, but you'd have to check with your people.

4 months, you should be ok, but no one can really tell... Me and my fiance went trough London, and it took just under 5 months from the date we got approved by the USCIS. good luck!!! xxx

I'd like to offer you a London guide found in the UK forum so you can learn that process and be proactive in getting through London once the case arrives there. There is a list of things to work on right now. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

Thanks for still taking the time to reply.

Thanks for the help. I will have to contact them to see what my options might be.

Thank you! For now we will just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Thank you for the helpful information. He just sent for his police records and will be sure to get the rest done so we are prepared when it comes time for his interview. Thanks again.
