Hoping we would hear something next week... fingers crossed.

No interview schedule for MENA people yet.

No interviews for Mumbai people as well ..

OMG I GOT INTERVIEW DATE!!!!! YAYYYY OCT 9TH. I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! ..... I just called them and they said well we JUST scheduled ur interview.

Congratss!!

I didn't even get finished with the call...was still on hold! I've got my email!

OCTOBER 31st BABY!!!!!

HALLOWEEN IN 9JA!

Oh and Devil...you can kick ROCKS!

Great news! Congrats!!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG :dance::dance::dance::dance:

We have our date OCT 15TH

GOD IS GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

You guys should call just got off the phone with them

Congratsss!!!

Hopefully yours is the first of many more to come

Wowww! After waiting for about 33 days to get our interview date and now ppl waiting for more than 40 days, it seems now that wait was not that long. It sucks!!!!!! Hold your horses........ at least Mumbai consulate applicants should hear something very soon mostly by end of next week.

Mumbai consulate usually posts the interview dates for Oct on 15th of this month right? If so then the scheduling must be going on but we are not receiving any emails from NVC....wow so many questions with no answers..sad stuff...frustrating wait

Congrats!!!

We have to keep praying and believing it will be soon. I just hate that NVC builds our hopes up that we are going to start seeing something in the second week of the month, and not one of us has heard anything.

You know Sravan, that's a very good question. In the past, it seemed like once a person was scheduled for an interview, they got a notice right away (or so it would seem from others posting..."hey, I got an interview date". But since this might be some type of new procedure, who knows how they are handling this. We could probably speculate until the cows come home and still not have a clear indication of what's happening for real or what the final outcome will be.

The one thing I do know is, this is getting very discouraging for all of us, very quickly. We have to keep praying, keep calling, keep asking questions and keep hoping we will see someone post that they have finally got an interview date.

I just wish these NVC operators are provided with more info so they can relay that info to callers. At least this way we know what's going on and the wait wouldn't be this heart-breaking.

my husband just called NVC a few minutes ago and the agent told my husband that they are still not yet done fixing the schedules and they ask my husband to call them back next week 20th to see if we already have a schedule or not

Does that mean they will wait until they are finished with scheduling before sending out emails?

congrats!!!

Like I said before. This is bs and just a way to control how fast the visa get issued. Control the interviews you control the visas. When I logged into the embassy in Manila and looked at the the available days for IR5 interviews there was at least 20 different days open to chose from. But we can't do it because the NVC has control. This is stupid a US citizen has to wait to get a interview for parents but non immigrants can chose a interview day just buy going on line. We have to wait and they don't. They charge such big amounts for these visa and just don't give a ####### on the families that have to wait to be together.

It's a sad reality. We don't have any control on interview dates and such. This whole process is lame. Lets just hope they are scheduling interviews right now and send out emails once they are done scheduling.

I am assuming he's implying that NVC must notify the beneficiary at least 15 days prior to the interview date which gives beneficiary enough time to complete pre-interview processes.

So if someones interview is scheduled on 1st of Oct they should receive the notification from NVC by 17th of Sept.

@ Maggi and Sravan,

Any news about your interview dates?

Unfortunately no. Still waiting

...

This is 33 of us now with no interviews....all for the same visa type across the board, not just one embassy. Something is definitely not right. Just wish the NVC would tell us the truth and give us an estimated date of when they might start scheduling interview dates. Two days into the NVC's notorious "second week of the month" speech, and still not one interview date among our forum. Very discouraging indeed! Think we should toss our list over to the September NVC forum and ask Saylin what does she think is going on and has anyone ever seen this happen in the past?

When you say something's not right it scares me ...lets hope its just the usual delay

Hey all,

I am just wondering if anyone has got interview dates for the cases completed 1st two weeks of Aug. My case was completed on 8th Aug. Let me know if you have any kind of info which helps people like me who are frustrated waiting..

Still waiting here..its really frustrating. Case was completed Aug 8th :-(

From what I know it usually took 10-15 days for NVC to schedule interviews, but for some reason people who had cases complete in August are waiting extra longer, maybe its a busy season..

May be its just with Mumbai consulate ...since Mumbai and Delhi are only two centers that processes immigration visas and they get hit hard with applications every month so the delay.

My case was completed on Aug 8th and I missed Sept interview slots. You have to prepare to wait at least a month before you can hear anything from NVC.

You can hope for Nov but you never know. My case was completed Aug 8th but still waiting for the interview date.

Case completed on Aug 8th and no interview date yet. :-(

Hi All,

Like others my spouse has missed September interview in Mumbai as well. Our case was completed at NVC on July 28th and NVC told that once they schedule the interview they will email us the appointment letter, which she has to carry (along with her medical) to the consulate in Mumbai for IV interview. Now, the question is: I have contacted the VFS (the agency which handles all non-immigrant and immigrant visa processing) and they said that my wife has to submit photocopies of the documents, original of which are already submitted to NVC to the VFS office NOW and then Mumbai consulate will contact her. This is kind of confusing and not in accordance with what NVC has informed us. I am really confused....would appreciate any suggestion in this regard.

Thanks,

Wait for NVC to assign you a interview date and send you interview letter. After that get your medicals done and submit copies of documents you submitted to NVC to VFS.

Mumbai Consulate posted Interview Schedule for September. Folks, you may want to check to see if you've made it. I missed it along with lot of other people.

Missed it as well. More waiting...

Filed on 31/01/2012 and case completed on 26/07/2012......Waiting for interview now..!!

You will probably hear from them pretty soon now and looks like you might get interview date in 1st week Oct.

From what I heard Sept is full. I am hoping for 1st week of Oct.
