Interview dates

[AMZJ 61]

Does anyone know what they are at, at the moment? Last week I was told 3rd June, so it'd make sense to me that they'd be at mid June by now. But I've heard rumors that they went from 1st June to mid June in 24 hours. Can anyone actually see what is available right now? NVC just received my case number so I can't quite check yet, but due to my deadlines i'm getting a bit worried especially since it's a new booking system!

Thanks.

Just checked, 20th June is the earliest, then consecutive weekdays after that, 12:00 timeslot.

Yay NVC number

No number yet, just received. That Royally sucks. Doesn't look like I will be moving on the 13th July.

yikes so it looks like it will be 6 weeks once we get our LND number to book medicals and interview and submit readiness form. I was hoping it would stay at the 4/5 week mark.Hope it doesnt go over the 6 week mark as id be looking to leave end july/early august for start of school for my child. im just waiting on courts so even now im still guessing at when ill be able to. oh the stress.

Wondering if it's the same availability 'pot' as tourist/student/work visa's? Maybe they've picked up as it's close to summer?

[bob+senga 11]

that could be but come june summer is well and started if anything i would have thought summer visas would be issued around April/ May ready to travel June. maybe its longer as theres just so many people able to book visa appointments themselves now. Though I always assumed that they would process x amount of K1/Cr1 types per day. Maybe theres just lots of applicants . Time will tell we just have to wait and take what we can

Same here need to get my daughter enrolled in school. Having myself a small pity party and cursing myself for not making my fiance type a longer explanation of how we met. Thanks to the RFE we are about a month behind.

Have you spoken/ emailed your daughters future school, All schools seem to have different end/ start times. Ohio finish up first week June but there not due back till sept( new school building). My enrolling officer will book me in for an appointment first day they are back as i will not be there until at least end July/ August all going well. My school know we are intend on immigrating and new school will do paperwork for getting daughters records sent over( think its all electronic now so no real delay). Just make sure she has all necessary shots for school. it wont be long and before you know it youll be looking at flights to book at last.

I'm literally the state below you! They start the second week in August and my daughters school is being a nightmare about sending her paperwork. I am calling the school in a bit to find out if they can send it before she's enrolled. They told me I can't enroll her until we are there. Need proof of address from the mail office and have to take her vaccination records, her dental and medical and eye test info into the health department and have it put down there and pray they don't want us to re-do it all in the US. She's American so i just got her hep B done this year.

Interviews have averaged 6-7 weeks from when you become eligible for one. I would think availability would still remain in that range whether they pick the date or you do.

The benefit of getting to pick your own--

1) no more moaning about how long the letter is taking. Now the moaning can switch to how long LND number is taking. There will always be moaning.

2) getting to choose day of the week that works better for you.

3) getting to push the date out if you won't be available because of work, exams, a trip...

4) being eligible sooner because now you don't have to wait until your medical arrives at the embassy (??). Too soon to know on that I guess. Some people said it wouldn't let them into the system to pick. No clear reason why yet.

Any more ideas of benefits?

Lots of pros, a few cons and I hate to complain. But I really want my daughter there before school starts 2nd week in August. A big move is more than enough stress as it is with out her going into melt down too. I'm a little bit overwhelmed now. But you know what I'm like by now, I stress over everything that hasn't even happened yet!

Currently filling out enrollment forms and getting my daughters school stuff in place.

the way i look at it is when you get your LND number the ball is then in your court, you can phone doctors get an appointment asap for medicals , submit readiness form and look to book you interview asap so long as you leave at least 7 days between medicals and interview. once you have interview and you get approved you should have visas/passports 2 weeks later, maybe 3. Bearing in mind your approved you get to immigrate get married start your new life with your fiance and new family. so it might be a bit of a rush/ stressfull at least your there you have your whole life ahead of yous as a family. enjoy. then start the new process of adjusting status in USA

Yep! I need to stop stressing about what I can't change. But unfortunately thats how I'm wired. Once I have everything booked etc I'll have an idea of whats going on and feel a bit more in control!
