Any insights on interview letters?

[Alex&Nayden 91]

I know each country has its own unique backlog and wait times, but I'm curious about how the scheduling process actually works. I read some information that suggested NVC sends out interview letters once a month, but I'm not entirely sure if that's accurate. I also came across another source that claimed embassies send their available slots to NVC, who then fills them with people who are waiting. Would anyone happen to have any insights or information to share about this?

What country?

 

Philippines, Haiti, DR, Pakistan, India, Mexico and Canada (among others) have backlogs waiting for interview.

The latter is certainly correct, as that’s what the DOS website says “The U.S. Embassy or Consulate General tells NVC what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments in a first-in, first-out manner.”

 

From what I can gather, IL’s seem to be sent out once or twice a month.
