Questions about NVC

[AdileneR 7]

Is the NVC currently taking a while to give interviews?  Can anybody share their experience just so I have an idea on how to prepare myself mentally. My husband and I just got our i-130 accepted in 11 months!!!  our paper work was sent to the Potomac service center and I’m shocked and very thankful it was accepted before it hit a year of waiting. I was worried since the estimated time for that service center is 16 months. If anyone has any useful information I’d appreciate it! I rather know the reality of things of what we might have to face next. Blessings to all!!

Congrats! It will depend on the consulate, some have waits of only 3 month or so for an interview letter once you're DQ'ed, others are 2 years+. You can search for threads or timelines to give you an idea of how long the wait is at your consulate.

 

And of course, how quickly you submit your paperwork and complete the DS-260 will be a factor too.
