Hi all!

Our I-130 was approved 5/13/2015 from the NSC!

I'm trying to find a feed that goes over average time for the process from here on out during the NVC to interview.

If someone could lead me in the right direction I'd apperciate it!

I things were very slow for us (5 months) until the very end and then we got an case complete and appointment scheduled three weeks after the case closed date. ( Talk about wait and hurry up and wait)

I think there is some effort in trying to streamline the NVC processes so you can hold out hope that things might move faster. Stay persistent in calling the NVC whenever you think things should have moved to the next milestone and ask for a supervisor.

Here is a listing of processing Milestones and times to give you an idea

you can add your times to the form. Updates appear to happen twice a month

I found this very useful for Montreal specific issues in your phase

Overall NVC process

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.
