NVC doc approval to interview appointment [merged threads]

[CarlosV 2]

Looking for information.

 

USCIS approved. Completed NVC portion (Submitting documents) on Sept 13, 23. I read that NVC sends to Embassy and Embassy in LA Paz will set up interview about 4 weeks after receipt from NVC.

 

I am guessing that NVC is sending documents I uploaded? Correct?

 

Are they sending by email?

 

Any idea how long after NVC process to get the interview?

 

Thx

That is not accurate.  Here is how it works:

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

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 via email.

6. NVC then sends case to consulate.

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

Any idea how long after NVC doc approval to embassy interview? My NVC approval was at end of November. I know they won't do anything in December.

 

I am concerned because I sent my wife to notarize the W7 alon Oct 31. They made and error. I called embassy regarding this on Oct 31. The person who picked up phone said office was closed. I asked why. They said Holiday. I responded Halloween was not a holiday and my wife was at consulate so they aren't supposed to be closed.

 

I then called consulate and asked to speak with someone there. The person who answered said they were closed. I said my wife was just there. What time did they close. She said 3. I responded it is 2 pm. So someone should be there. Woman told me to email and she would send to her boss.

 

They called my wife and told her to come back next day Nov 1. She goes back and the consulate berates her over my phone calls to embassy and consulate. Apparently I'm guessing they didn't like I called them out for skipping work.

 

I am worried that they will see my wife name and play games and delay the interview.

 

Thoughts?

Depends on the how many interviews they do each month and the length of the queue in front of you.

 

2 to 3 months on average is not unusual but your consulate may not be average
