Hi everyone hope all is well today. Well I find out via the NVC IVR system that the DS-3032 & AOS Fee Bill was generated yesterday. At first I was going to do the shortcuts but w/all the changes w/the Kingston Embassy I decided to wait it out b/c I can't afford any more delays. With that said, I have two wks vacation coming up in Oct and would like to have my interview schedule in Dec (hopefully around Christmas). I know we can't bank on that but any date in Dec will be fine for us.

For those who have recv'd interview dates from NVC how long does it usually take from the reciept of the DS-230 packet to the actual interview being scheduled? Does it happen when the case is completed? If I were to do everything via mail w/NVC how long will it take?

Thanks in advance.

Nyseness,

I am waiting on the NVC to scheduled my appointment under this new process. The NVC recieved the marriage lisence, birth certificate and police certificate on June 15, 2007. So I am praying my case is completed now and our interview will be scheduled shortly. But I also would love to hear from anyone that interview was scheduled by the NVC

If you don't mind can you please keep me posted on the date NVC completed your case and scheduled an interview?

Alll,

My case was completed at the NVC on yesterday :dancing::dancing: . I sent the NVC an email on Saturday requesting status and I been trying to call them today. All of the lines are busy. I find that the reps in the morning are so much more helpful than the ones at nights. I really just want to know my interview date or an ETA for scheduling the interview. Will update you as soon as I get more info.

Thanks!! Well I was able to finally speak to a rep. Per the rep all the interiews for July for the Kingston embassy was scheduled the 2nd week in June so I will not be getting a July interview date :( . Interviews for August will start being schedule the 2nd week in July so I can call back by the 3rd week in July to see if David got an August date. I am still waiting on a response to my email to the NVC. I will also call the NVC at least once a week until I am given an interview date.

Guys let me know if anyone else get a interview date! Thanks!!

Congratulations, Jenice!!! You have given the rest of us hope after having these changes :dance: ! I am sending all the documents to the NVC tomorrow overnight...my husband just sent his police certificate to me this evening. Thanks for keeping us posted. We look forward to hearing further good news from you.

If it so happens that my husband and I get a date in August, that works well, since I planned on taking vacation in August anyway.

Guys.. :help: Is there anyone pursuing a IR1/CR1 and the NVC has scheduled your interview in the last couple of weeks; :help: can you please tell me how long it took from when the case was completed at the NVC before you got your interview date. Did you have to wait to get the letter before you knew the date? Was the automatic voice system ever updated with this status?

Monday will be exactly two weeks since the NVC completed my case and I have not heard anything :crying: :crying

Jenice,

:help: When you found out the date that your case was completed, did you hear it on the automated voice response system or from a rep? I am still waiting to hear if our case was completed as I am hoping that it will get in the batch for interviews in August.

Thanks for all your help and I hope you hear something soon.

Hi everyone hope all is well today. Well I find out via the NVC IVR system that the DS-3032 & AOS Fee Bill was generated yesterday. At first I was going to do the shortcuts but w/all the changes w/the Kingston Embassy I decided to wait it out b/c I can't afford any more delays. With that said, I have two wks vacation coming up in Oct and would like to have my interview schedule in Dec (hopefully around Christmas). I know we can't bank on that but any date in Dec will be fine for us.

For those who have recv'd interview dates from NVC how long does it usually take from the reciept of the DS-230 packet to the actual interview being scheduled? Does it happen when the case is completed? If I were to do everything via mail w/NVC how long will it take?

:innocent: Hi there. You and I are in similar situaton. I just received the Choice of Agent form and the Fee bill this past Saturday and I overnighted the check to them yesterday.I called this morning and was told that it will take 7-10 business days for them to process the $70 check and that I should call back in that time period. My husband sent an email to the NVC telling them that I am is Choice of agent yesterday and when I spoke with the rep this morning she told me that I have to allow at least 48 hours for a response confirming they have me updated as his choice of agent. :( Its always a waiting game. I am just curious as to whne they will send me that affidavit of support so that I can fill that out and send that back and really get this process rolling.

:yes: Seems as if interviews are scheduled 1 month ahead.Only time will tell
