Many people have mentioned that the time it takes to schedule an interview for either a K3 interview or a CR-1 interview varies by the Embassy.

Any couples who can share their recent experience as it relates to getting a visa appointment (K3 or CR-1) in Mumbai after NVC approval?

Thanks!

Receiving an NOA2 from one of the Service centers is just the first step in the process. There is a second set of processes you need to go through where you need to submit an Affidivit of Support, DS230, collecting police cleareance certificates from the local police station and the passport office etc.. which needs to be submited to either the consulate or the NVC depending which visa you are applying for... only after your file is sent to the consulate will your interview be scheduled. I went the CR1 route, check out my time line from when I got the NOA2.

Thanks and goodluck!
