Hi All,

 

My Parents I-130 application was approved and NVC also accepted all the documents (AOS I 864, DS-260 and Civil documents). I have one question regarding scheduling interview.

 

After NVC accepted all the documents and DS260 (visa application), Will NVC notify us to schedule an interview at US Embassy or NVC will give us exact date and time for an interview at US Embassy directly? How NVC notify us regarding interview date or scheduling an interview?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 I have not received an interview date yet for my in laws, but if the process has not changed from a few years ago when I petitioned my husband, NVC should be sending you an email with the exact date and time of the interview. Unless the process for India is different from the Philippines.

From what I know, current processing time is around 8 months. So yours is about 4 months away from approval (NOA2).

Texas Service Center has generally been the fastest over the past 1.5 years or so, closely followed by Potomac. 6 months was the average for I-130's and they are keeping up with the same timeline wher

Hi, I submitted everything on January 7th. So far, no news of interview date as of yet. I'm hoping to hear from them soon though. Anyone have an idea on how long the expected wait time is until NVC reviews everything?

It will takes 2-3weeks for NVC to review documents. They will send you confirmation letter with instructions for the next step once they accepted everthing considering if no corrections or missing documents. Good luck!

I submitted documents, 4 of them were rejected because it was scanned in sideways (original document). They have to be in the correct orientation. That caused a delay of two weeks.

 

Rotated PDF which was good enough for them and all documents have been approved. Now waiting on interview date.

 

How long does it take to get an interview date after all of your documents have been approved?

 

Thanks! Good luck everyone.

Civil Documents

Parent's Birth Certificate

Parent's Marriage Certificate

Parent's Police Clearance
Parent's Passport Biographic Page
Petitioner's Birth Certificate
Family Photo

AOS Documents

 

I 864
ITR 2015, 2016, 2017

I 864A

Marriage Certificate
Spouse's Passport (as proof of US Citizenship)
Spouse's US Driver's License (as proof of US Domicile)

As of today, everything has been accepted except for the i-864A and Proof of Relationship between Sponsor and Household member. It still says "submitted" on the website. Anyone had this instance happen to them? People who received interview letters, did everything you submit show "accepted"? I'm just curious whether they've reviewed everything or are still ongoing. 

Unfortunately, I also received an RFE for a 2017 Tax Transcript. So guys, send tax transcripts instead of tax returns. I should've done more reading before submitting everything. I was confident an ITR would be fine since it was accepted a few years back when I petitioned my husband. Learn from my mistakes guys. 😃

I’ve read on this forum, some people go through the OPPOSITE. I’m really confused. What are everybody’s final advice on the financial proof? Tax Transcript or the Tax Returns? Should I send BOTH?
