hello all.

Does anyone have any idea how long does it take for NVC to send case to US embassy for CR1 visa category ?

thank you

It depends on the backlog for each consulate at NVC and the workload of the individual consulate.

 

1.  Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2.  Case the enters NVC queue for interview and waits.

3.  Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4.  NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5.  NVC notifies person of interview date.

6.  NVC sends case to consulate.

 

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

Looking at your post history, it’s the embassy in Tirana that you are going through. They only opened for visa appointments 10 days ago after being closed for months.

 

Yoir previous posts also say you were DQed on September 24, not July. In any event, now that the embassy has opened they will work through the backlog starting with those who have been waiting since March/April when things started to close. You have a few months to wait, at least. If you have a valid reason for an expedite, go ahead and request it. But you won’t get one just because you are fed up of waiting.
