How about Cairo embassey dude?i got case complete tow days ago..any chance a get interview in May inshallah ?

I am praying you do but you see the list and I am in contact with all the Egypt people on the list and you see since September they wait. Even K1's I talk to been waiting since October some just had interviews scheduled for May. So maybe the embassy is opening up. I pray it won;t be months and months of waiting for you.

I know weekends are dead to us until our hunnies come home. That's why these threads are so important for people to chatter and just know they re not alone.

Jilly30: From your signature it looks like you got a checklist for 2013 tax transcript. How did you resolve it?

I have submitted 2010, 2011, and 2012 tax transcripts. 2013 tax return is not complete yet. I was hoping to carry a copy of the 2013 return to the interview (sometime in June probably).

Am I likely to get a checklist?

NVC will not checklist you for not sending in current year. Only those who submitted it will get reviewed and check-listed if need be, But yes do take to interview and have an updated I-864 filled out also.

Greetings all,

I finally received the email I have been waiting for since last March 7 when USCIS initially received our petition -

"Case Complete"!

Nice to see all the hard work involved in getting all the paperwork, copies of copies, etc has actually made it through without any problems. I was doing a little quick math combing through all the Colombian applicants to try to gauge how long from the NOA-2 approval to the interview. I received mine November 27th, so I don't imagine having to wait too much longer to get the final interview/medical email.

Also, NVC isn't really taking longer than advertised either as it came in just under 30 days from the time I sent in the IV packet to case complete so no complaints there as far as I'm concerned. Never really had too many problems with NVC, just the 8+month wait from USCIS to get the NOA-2 - yikes!

Congratulations. I am going through email and updating list.

Yes Colombia is pretty good. I believe tomorrow many should start getting May interview dates. So hang on. Welcome to the group.

So was your case complete March 7 or March 25?

[waiting_______ 92]

I am not at this stage yet as I am still waiting for a case complete. But hope to be soon. I had couple of quick questions...

Are CR1/IR1/IR5 prioritized over other IVs for scheduling interviews? I was looking at the IV interview list for April for my consulate and seems like majority of them are Fx's and relatively few IRx/CRx. Do they schedule based on case complete timeline or do the category of the visa come in to play as well?

On another note, are the cut off dates very consistent for that month's scheduling, like last month Mar 6th seems to be cut off for April interviews. Is it consistently about a week in to the month?

TIA!

Hi dwheels,

I initially sent in our petition for the visa March 1, 2013 and received the NOA-1 March 7th. So our Priority Date is March 7, 2013. I just received an email for 'Case Complete' March 25, 2014 so a year later...

May sounds good to me, I need so scrape up $ for two airline tickets still, so that would give me just enough time for that (ha-ha!) Nice to be part of the group here.

As far as how they slot CR1/IR1/IR5 is all a mystery. I do know that every embassy has few slots for CR1/IR1 at least. Maybe because their are fewer and more Visitor Visas and K1's don;t know.

Your case Complete and when means everything because interview scheduling doesn't happen every singe day of month. People have the misconception that case complete and instant interview.

Like right now everyone is waiting fro the announcement of May interviews which hasn't started yet. Those in the queue according to their embassy and slots open and where they fall in the big old world of placement may or may not get a slot.

So that's why you see some have to wait some embassies who are less busy keep open the scheduling and you will see people get interview any day of the month (Iceland I know). Others too busy and it takes NVC about 1 to 3 days and they are done with India, Philippines, Nigeria, Canada, UK too name the top ones.

As far as how they slot CR1/IR1/IR5 is all a mystery. I do know that every embassy has few slots for CR1/IR1 at least. Maybe because their are fewer and more Visitor Visas and K1's don;t know.

Your case Complete and when means everything because interview scheduling doesn't happen every singe day of month. People have the misconception that case complete and instant interview.

Like right now everyone is waiting fro the announcement of May interviews which hasn't started yet. Those in the queue according to their embassy and slots open and where they fall in the big old world of placement may or may not get a slot.

So that's why you see some have to wait some embassies who are less busy keep open the scheduling and you will see people get interview any day of the month (Iceland I know). Others too busy and it takes NVC about 1 to 3 days and they are done with India, Philippines, Nigeria, Canada, UK too name the top ones.

Thanks!! I'll just wait till it's our time

Good luck to everyone here, hoping tomorrow's the day for the interview assignments.

Thanks for adding me to the list dwheels - my name isn't quite right on it, but it's close enough!
