How NVC schedules interviews

[kl979 3]

I've been seeing quite a few posts asking when applicants will receive interview letters and I thought I could share some information I've read from a report filed in JaconvBiden. This report is accessible via Curtis Morrison's Twitter page.

 

1. There are two phases when NVC schedules interviews.
Phase 1: IR categories and some family preference cases (I'm assuming it's the FB categories), which take place in the first half of the month.
Phase 2: Family-based cases which take place in the latter half of the month.
Note that NVC schedules interviews based on the applicant's DQ date, however, your PD must be current.

 

2. Stated in the report, as of 3/11, NVC is working on scheduling the first phase for April and is expected to complete by mid-march, which is this week. The second phase scheduling for April is expected to be completed by the fourth week of March, which is next week.
Note that the capacity of each post varies due to current circumstances.

 

I hope this helps whoever is reading and feel free to add any additional infos that I missed.

Thank you, very helpful, where do you base this info on? Just wondering :) I’ve been seeing people that were DQ’d after me (only 2 days or so) getting a letter after 18 days, I’ve been waiting 10 weeks now ( Brussels embassy) and Brussel never issues a lot of visas, never did (out if statistics, so I’m just a little frustrated.. that they say they go by DQ but their not?
