Case Complete to Interview March 2016

[SoerenHelmer 50]

Yes, I realize that need to view the spreadsheet...but since I can't recall my password when my battery dies on my phone I would like to switch to my laptop with having to log in as a guest and for that I need my password to my account. I've requested to reset it but I never seem to get the email for resetting (not even in spam).

So and you can just email your self the link to google doc before phone dies.

I am really hoping that my C/C is officially 1/22 but is 3 weeks C/C going to make a huge difference between an April interview or a June interview? What about early to mid May? I am still a newbie here so it will take awhile for me to get the hang of it. Like Dwheels said most interviews take around 120+ days in Kingston after C/C which I pretty much seen for almost every case apart from the ones expedited. So even if my C/C was 01/22 or 02/10 shouldn't I get an interview for the May batch of interviews? Also how can we know when NVC or the embassy has filled up interview slots for April? Has anyone called and verified if slots for Kingston have been filled up or are they still handing interview dates this week?

We don;t know when they fill up. People call NVC when they haven;t been scheduled and NVC says that month is full. But you can pretty much figure out for most embassy when they are full. No more movement. Remember if you see like 4 people for your embassy waiting around the same CC as you multiple that bu about 10 to 50. For every VJ member there are at least 10 to 20 per week out there not on VJ.

That's why the spreadsheet is so useful (if I do say so myself). You can pretty much tell how long the wait that's why it was created. If people get sooner great. But if like for your embassy it's a 100 to 120 day wait its not logical to say oh you will get it in 30 days when that isn't the case.

I can tell if a person expedited by the dates. And I usually end up PM them and ask "did you expedite" and they say yes. Dispelling the mystery.

I tell people look at the category and look and see if they expedited. When May hits from May to August embassies will give priority to Visitor visa and Student Visas. They will get most of the slots and most embassies will do few spousal Visa interviews. We witnessed that horrible this summer. Jamaica honestly was the worst.

Let me ask have you called and asked if Kingston is complete. Scheduling just started Wednesday you know. We still have a full week hopefully. You won't know f you don't call.

Yes...I know and what I've done....its was just a matter of being able to respond from the laptop. The comment was me typing out loud what I was thinking. No worries though...I'm good and thank you so much

So in that case I should assume that my C/C was February 09 or 10 (I seen some C/C emails for most took 8 days).

What about the emails itself where it says that interviews are scheduled in about 60 days can anyone verify if that is the case also for Kingston interviews. If it is should I expect my P4 email at the end of March or soon after?

It's says usually and of course it's embassy specific. 60 days is an average. Things happen, like Kingston which is short of staff they do what they ca with what they can.

Lol..."Kingston is the worst"...I guess that comment can be associated with a lot of things in this process. I don't know but it seems awfully crazy that they would dedicate a month(s) to specific visa types...logically it seems to make more sense to process them right along with every other visa type...but since that seems to be the trend then and the process....

Oh how I wished that people would create timelines and update them..sure makes life a lot easier for the person that is maintaining...

Packet 3 is for K1 (fiance) visas. For a CR1/IR1 you will get a Packet 4.

If you already paid the AOS and IV fee at the NVC stage, no fees to pay at consulate during interview. There will be a $165 green card fee to be paid after you receive your passport back.

Thank you. My wife and I called but only to find out if there was any chance our case was scheduled for an interview (wishful thinking) but we did not ask if the slots were filled for Kingston cases (I assumed they would not give us that kind of information. You're a huge help Dwheels76. Can't thank u enough. I was thinking of waiting until maybe the final week of March before we call again.My wife and I usually skype when calling NVC because we both get nervous when calling hoping to hear some good news and if not we lean on each other for comfort to try fight that depression of waiting that much longer.

[Edissa508 8]

I can only speak for the case complete and letter transmission. My case was completed on 2/4, I got the email "official" letter stating that all document requirements were met on 2/11. Since I am still awaiting an interview date

Something tells me we may get interview on the same day or a day apart but I am thinking it will be the same day because on the spreadsheet I have seen people who got C/C a day or two apart still get their interview on the same day

Maybe...but I think your case complete date is a little before mine.

I'm not sure how this will all play out, all I can do is just hold to faith that our 1 year anniversary (June 14th) doesn't come and we are still waiting.

I hope you will get it before your anniversary. I hope that by the time your anniversary comes you will have already done the interview and reunited with each other. I wish you all the best. We can both keep watching the spreadsheet. If I hear anything regarding my interview date I will definitely post or PM you and hopefully you will do the same that way we keep each other informed and on the lookout for the interview

[Hansona 11]

It's been two months for you and Ghana has not booked your interview??? What in the world are they doing?

Yes, It's crazy! Someone was recently scheduled for an April interview on Wednesday or Thursday and their case was completed back in October!

Absolutely!

I seen that and was floored at the delay in giving an interview date. I have seen some get a date within a few months others wait three or four months for the interview date.

At the rate Ghana is going it will be June or July before we get an interview that is the soonest.

I am crossing my fingers for you. I hope you get your interview date this week!
