Preference no. Every visa category has their own # of slots allowed. Some months there are more F2A. 
When the monthly calendar is sent to NVC it has the # of each visa category for each day allowed. Now NVC starts plugging in the petitions in those dates and times. How you are scheduled is dependent on DQ and PD date.

 

They been starting to schedule mid month. I see Pakistan already strted so they schedule until they either run out of petitions (Unlikely) or they run out of slots. That's for most embassies.

 

That's why when i tell people to call NVC you ask for your specific embassy. Never ask "Have you started scheduling" Too generic. Ask "Have you started scheduling for Islamabad"? and "have you completed scheduling for February".

They aren't going to tell you "Oh we stopped on DQ XX. They will say yes or no and that's it and you wait till next round.

 

They use to do scheduling for the next month starting at end of month and was done by end of first week. That stopped about 9 months ago but they go back and forth.

It means your petition is at NVC. It will say that until you are scheduled your interview. Once you are scheduled then it goes to "In Transit" and then when it arrives and you are logged into system changes to"READY".

So now you just wait. Hopefully it will be soon maybe a January date for you who knows.

But if they allocate only month-end, since we re mid of jan already, I dont stand a chance of getting an IL this month know? -.-

Well they are still in December scheduling for February so I doubt you will get a February date. When you get DQ matters too. You got DQ during scheduling window so you got to figure you are at the end of the list. Just all depends on how many slots they have open for February.

 

I know when they start scheduling they are done within 2 to 3 days doesn't take long to fill in slots.

I see, so the only way to figure it out is to call them and ask?

I have added you to the spreadsheet. Not much to tell. When your embassy has a space for your category they will schedule you.

Many smaller less business countries have flowing scheduling meaning they just schedule as they come. Finland, Iceland other less busy places have that.

I wouldn't rule out anything. All you can do is wait and pray and hope.

Possibly. They will either say yes they are complete for Jamaica or no they are still scheduling.

takes 3 to 5 days to arrive then whatever time it takes for them to log it is the embassies choice.

Do permanent residence also have the conditions when their spouse is issued a visa for entry and is it the 2 years also? Or is it different conditions for permanent residence spouses that are given a visa?

They send when they send. I remember getting my letter on a weekend Of course I already got the date by phone was on the phone while they were scheduling us.

They put all in a batch job and usually run it by end of day. They usually come 24 to 48 hrs after scheduling.

How soon did they schedule you after your DQ?

I'm confused, do the slots vary by Embassy?

More like a March date for you since you just got DQ. November folks got January so now they are finishing up later part of November and going into December. It's never been 2 weeks for Jamaican. But still faster then most usually 1 month wait or more after DQ.

 

There's no formula or how long a wait it's all about how many people are before you waiting. No one knows thats why it's really a big guessing came.

So you mean that I would get IL during the month of February for an interview date in March?

slots in a consulate are determined by the number of COs at the post.
