My case was upgraded to IR1 last week. Now I am waiting for NVC to schedule the interview. I am hoping it will be done in a month or two.

thanks

Hi

My case at NVC has been completed for a year now . I was waiting for my priority date to be current. Now I have become a US citizen I emailed NVC to upgrade my case from F2a to IR1. It has been almost a month and they haven't changed my status yet. I was wondering how long does it normally take for NVC to upgrade a status and subsequently schedule my hubby's interview ?

Thank you

I just stated what their website says my dear..

I am on the same boat. It is a bit confusing. I don't think for those of us whose case is completed at NVC PD date is an issue.I think it all depends on home busy the american embassy is at the benificiaries country & how many visa's are available for the specific country. This is what is states on the NVC website.

it looks like those on us with completed status are on the 3rd step.

If your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date, the NVC will:

Invoice you for your visa application fees

Collect your visa application and supporting documentation

Hold your visa petition until an interview can be scheduled with a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate General abroad.

If your Priority Date DOES NOT meet the most recent Qualifying Date, the NVC will notify you and hold your petition until your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date. The Department of State updates the Qualifying Dates on a monthly basis.

Yes my catagory is F2.

I guess the interview date depends on how busy the Embassy is at the beneficiaries Home Land. A friend of mine got her interview date assigned at the end of her 8th week wait. Her PD date was not current.

Below is what is stated on FAQ page of NVC website.

USCIS Sent My Immigrant Visa Petition to the NVC. Now What Happens?

If your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date, the NVC will:

1.Invoice you for your visa application fees

2.Collect your visa application and supporting documentation

3.Hold your visa petition until an interview can be scheduled with a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate General abroad.

MY PD is 11/2010 . My case is now competed at NVC . I have paid all the fees and provided all the documents . It has been 7 weeks since my case is completed. They told me to wait 8 weeks for further instructions. .

My NVC case was completed on May 27th . The automatic message says " Please allow 8 weeks for the next instruction"

So My question is it has been 6 weeks and I was wondering what is the normal time frame for NVC to set an interview

date for ADDIS ABABA ( ETHIOPIAN ) Embassy ?

Thanks,
