Paris - NVC - duration

[David54321 18]

Hi there,

For those who have recently undergone an interview in Paris for an IR-2 visa, what is the expected delay between receiving a Documentarily Qualified  status from the NVC and the actual interview? I would like my son to come to the U.S. to start school in mid-August, and his file is currently at the NVC with documents about to be uploaded.

Thank you in advance for your insights.

Best,
David

It’s going to be very tight. It will depend on how quickly he’s DQ’ed, and that’s really down to you. If you get everything done at the NVC quickly and he’s DQ’ed within a couple of weeks then he may get an IL in June, the actual interview may not be until August though and of course you then have to allow a couple of weeks to get the passport/visa back. And if he misses the June cut off for IL’s then his interview could well be after mid August. 

 

It may be worth asking for an expedite with evidence of his school enrolment.
