ย 

ย 

You can view my spreadsheetย Case Complete to Interview Spreadsheet

ย 

To update your interview date go here.ย Case Complete to Interview Form

ย 

For New people to the thread please goย Case Complete to Interview Formย and input your information in the form and it will be added to the form.

ย 

Everyone should be clicking on the Portal tab to visit the information for their country. If nothing is there or information needs updating. Update or add.

Its up to all of us to keep this information current, relevant and helpful to others.

Special Note: Different consulates or embassies have strict guidelines as to what type of bags/purses/cellphones etc can be carried in. And whether they provide any lockers (or not) for temp storage. As many travel from far away (by air/train/cars, one needs to specially know what they will not be able to take inside the consulate and where to store their personal belongings.

ย 

Here are some FAQ and other tidbits that may be useful to you.ย Be sure to visit your countries portal and click on the Consular Information and also Consular reviews.

FAQ


I just called and got Case Complete how long does it take to get the email as confirmation?
Well it has been taking 5 to 7 days to get case complete email from the date they Case Complete.

How long after Case Complete will I get an interview?
Okay this is the BIG mystery ofย NVC. How it usually goes is end of the month and first week of month they start scheduling for interviews for the that upcoming month. Since January they have been pretty consistent starting about the last 2 days of the month and finishing that following first week of next month

Do I have to call for my interview date?
NVCย has improved greatly since March. The interview letter now comes day of schedule. So call if you want its up to you.

I know someone who got interview in the middle of the month. How is that possible?
Usually when you see someone pop up with an interview outside the bunch its usually the result of a cancellation or the embassy opening up a slot. Just because scheduling stops doesn't mean they filled up all slots. They may have more slots than appointments which is good. So someone gets case complete and immediately they get an interview. It happens.

Remember every embassy has its own slots and schedule. Some like Mexico, Ghana are very busy with a long waiting list. Some like Yemen, well it may be a few months to get in. Iceland you get interview immediately scheduled after case Complete.

I need to change our interview date what do I do?
Once you receive your interview date track your casefile. Callย NVCย ask when your casefile left than you can follow the DHL instructions to embassy. The contact your embassy (email is best) and ask to be rescheduled later, earlier just ask.ย 

What do I need to bring to interview?
When you receive your P4 Letter (Interview letter) it will have your personalized checklist of things to bring or not. It has been suggested because things have been lost betweenย NVCย and embassy to bring everything (Originals) to the interview so if they don't have at embassy you aren't delayed.It's up to you. It doesn't happen much but it does happen.

******************Tips about your getting your SSN******************

If you don't have your SSN card within 21 days of your POE,ย  go IN PERSON to your local SSA office and see if yourย  application was forwarded by the Immigration officer. ย  It only works about 50% of the time when you tickย  the box on the DS-260. As soon as you have your SSN youย  may work. ย Your passport visa and the immigration stampย  is the equivalent of your green card. Thank you Sukie in NY

How to start a expedite: Send yourย NVC expedite requestย in the form of an email to nvcexpedite@state.gov. An emailย requestย is specifically the only way to submit theย NVC expedite request.

Subject Line: Expedite Request /Case #ย 

ย 


First paragraph:ย  Tell them who the Petitioner is and the Beneficiary

ย 

Introduce yourself, name, date of birth, and where you reside. Same thing for the beneficiary. ย 

Second Paragraph: Reason/s for the expedite

ย 

State the reason why your case needs to be expedited. Be specific. The more you can demonstrate the hardship (mental, financial, health wise) on the petitioner the better.

Now plead your case. Asking for their approval for your request.ย Now is time to really use this COVID to your advantage.
