Does NVC entertain Requests for Interview date preferences?

[jedivader 0]

Hi,

I am getting ready to submit DS-260 and IV package for my spouse at NVC. However looking at these forums, the average time from submitting docs to NVC to getting an interview is about 3 months. My wife has university exams starting November till first week of December. So basically we cannot have her interview scheduled during that time period because she will have to travel to another city for interview (its in Islamabad, Pakistan).

So my question is: can I submit a written request to NVC along with the IV package saying that we would appreciate if you can schedule interview anytime other than the month of November? Has anyone ever done that before and how likely is NVC to accept that ?

Or should I just delay submitting the documents till mid October? Sounds like a long time...

A 3 month TAT for submitting documents to interview is definitly not guaranteed, but considering your time constraints, if it were me I would mail in everything in the last third of September.

Edit in your post at first you say end of November and December are not good, but later on go to say not the month of November. If your wife cannot interview until January, then wait until the end of October to mail in your things.

To answer your question No NVC doesn't take request for when to schedule you. You can do two things. Either delay sending in your package and submitting DS-260. This way you control when and how. Or just move along as normal and if your interview is scheduled in November, you can contact the embassy once your case file arrives and request a later date which they will accommodate.

Seeing its 30 to 45 days to case complete after they receive your IV and AOS package and in about 2 weeks they will be scheduling for October. So if you get Case Complete by mid-September November is likely.

So it's up to you wait or just be scheduled and have date moved with the embassy.

I said from November 1st till December 10th is not a good time but actually rest of December is fine.

I should also mention that I am exempt from filing AOS as I received my GC from Employment based and date is still current.

So since I only have to submit IV package which is a few documents... I think i can get CC within a few weeks.

I am not sure how interview schedules work but basically you guys are saying if i wait till mid October to submit everything I should be fine for a December or January interview, correct ?

As for rescheduling with embassy I have heard it can delay your process a whole lot so I am trying to avoid that and get the interview date right from the get go.
