@Adorable, @PP_2016 & @amistry18 - has anybody been scheduled an interview date? I did not see anybody with one on the spreadsheet, but thought to ask.

 

And how long did it take you to receive the CC email from NVC?

No interview date yet. I received my CC mail in 2 days but there are others who received after a week.

 

Hoping to get the interview scheduled soon.

Well here is another month of my life I will never get back....Scan date May 1st 2017.

Another one,,,,, well time to reset, drive fast, do an emergency stop in the middle lane on the M25 and be thankful you got your whole life back so in credit because you did it at 2am and no-one was on the road :-) 

 

Or count salt crystals, an old hobby of mine from Nebraska wait months ..... it is worse than watching paint, age and peel ......

@Clary I had read on this forum that reps connect you to the Supervisor if you call them as soon as the NVC is open or it's closing time. Anybody with more info, please share.

https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/AILA/AILA NVC November 2014.pdf   - useful document to read even if dated, page 3 on expedite is a useful point if still valid.

 

"Fci Federal" AND ("nvc" OR "national visa center" OR national* visa center) NEAR "new hampshire" AND "linkedin.com"  showed up a few profiles - https://www.linkedin.com/in/austinmanor .......... it is a desert.....

Lol...Who says I am not calm.

Is the system fair and equitable to all users? No!  Is the the process antiquated and out of date. Yes.. Is it laden with pitfalls that cost applicants months in lost time? Yes!! 

Do I stare at the calendar counting the days? No...

 

Because of my career (I have to stay calm doing it) I get to see my wife every month. So unlike others who have to be apart from their loved ones for an ordinate amount of time I am fortunate enough to see her.

Its not right that so many of you have to endure such a long period apart from your loved ones.

 

 

 

I will travel to the USA with,,,, so daily ........ I am thinking now summer is here I would be happy if I saw her once a month :-) She may ask for it to be every 2 or 3 ....... so will not try my luck.

Yeah, not sure if you missed much as so many great folks in our community have been great in keeping their questionnaires up to date. Thank you community!!

 

It's nice to see the sheet turn from purple to dark green. It was purple for a while as so many were waiting for their interview dates.  These March and early April filers are helping us all out. So greatly appreciate it. 

 

Soon you and I will be getting our CC.. Hopefully by the end of this month.

I think my i130 was approved quickly because I had Global Entry so the Department of Homeland Security had previously checked me as I was on the safe flyer list.

I have an expedite granted on the interview date.

Took almost 10 weeks.   But at least when it went into review, only took 1 day.

Thanks for all the work with the spreadsheet.   It has been very helpful.  Each day you get closer.  I hope you get your cc in less time than me.
