Woooooo! Interview on September 24!!! Thank you God!!!

They started September interviews about July 28th. Maybe there are done with your country I don't know. I know Cambodia had to be announced and as u see they been waiting a while. All you can do is wait.

As far as case Complete I have seen many here have their dates moved. Maybe call again get a different person and get clarification.

Thank you, I called again and it seems that they somehow did review another document so we have case complete today...but they said that they're still scheduling for September so I still have a chance...fingers crossed!!

Hi Dwheels, I'm a bit confused.....I got case complete on August 2nd and I just called the NVC now to see if I have an interview date for me. They said not yet and that my case was completed today!! (it's true that I got an e-mail with case complete today, but I've read here that's just what they do, they send the e-mail a week after case complete) I was very confused about that and she kept saying that we must have sent them more docs after August 2nd and that they review stuff every time they get it and give a new case complete date. But we haven't sent them anything since the middle of July! She said the case was not taken out of the line for interview dates but this is new date is still a bit worrying to me. Plus, since I understand they assign interview dates the first week of the month, I am now worried that I won't even get a September interview since it's the 9th now and still no interview date. What do you think of all this? thanks so much!

depends on the load of embassy/consulate, my wife's case closed Friday 7/26/13 and received interview date on Monday 7/29/13 that was the very next business day but I think that is a bit rare. The consulate she is going to is Ciudad Juarez Mexico. Good luck and hope you get interview soon. I'd give it from 1 to 2 weeks.

wow that's really cool how your wife got the interview, although yes, probably very rare. thanks for your reply and all, I'm hoping it will be September and maybe not too late in

Took about a week in my case - depends on case load in Embassy.

thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a week

I added you to the case Complete thread. Congratulations.

Thank you dwheels, I've been waiting for a long time to get on your thread haha

Called today and heard those magic words "The case is closed" !!!! Can anyone tell me how long it takes for them to assign the interview date? thanks

Hello. My husband had the same thing: he needed quite few. He saw his doctor before hand and got most of them done before the medical at the embassy. It was cheaper than having them all done on the day of the medical and he was in less pain since he only needed one on the day of his medical at the embassy. If you don't have them done before it's no problem- they will give you what you need the day of the medical but just a suggestion that it may be easier on you and your money if you can have as many as possible before hand.

Good luck!!

Thank you barbara360! It would be smart of me to get them before the medical then! thanks!

Some of those on the list are age specific so you do not need them.

You can get them at the medical exam but it will be more expensive than getting them from your local clinic.

Thank you! Will look into getting what I need beforehand!

Hi guys! Something is not clear to me about the vaccines for the med ex. I got my vaccine history from my doctor and it looks like I'm missing quite a few that are on the list of needed ones. What now? Do I just go to the med exam and they will decide which to give me or do I just go back to my doctor and get them done before my med exam? thanks a bunch!

Here you go Doria!

Congrats on case complete!

Thanks for the link ahiari! We don't have case complete yet waiting on the to review one document! But I think it will be closed sometime in August so accoring to this link I will have an intervew date in September? Think it can be later then that?thx

There is an interview thread, have you checked there to see if any one from Romania has had an interview date lately?

Also you can check the timelines to see the average date from NOA2 or case complete to interview.

yeah i've checked timelines before but they seem to fluctuate quite a bit. do you have a link for that thread by any chance? thanks!

Hi guys! I'm from Romania so if there's any Romanias out there I would really appreciate if you could help me with this question. How long does it take for the NVC to assign an interview date after your case has been closed? and how far ahead is that date going to be? like a month or more from when they assign it? thanks!

hi can i ask was the checklisted document? greetings from Oradea

hi It was a police record, but not from Romania. I lived in the UK a year and had to get one from there, which I did before I left there but as I found out after they send me the checklist, it wasn't the one the Embassy accepts, so I had to quickly get the right one...

My reviews took 11 days but a checklist took 16 days. Of course the extra 5 days seemed like a lifetime and did make me miss the cut off for an August interview.

I know the feeling...I just needed one more document (had sent it the first time but it was incorrect...) and should have had case complete over a week ago...now still waiting...I think I would have gotten an August interview as well but really hoping for an early September one...good luck to you!

Do you mean a checklist? I had to double check to see if what stage you were at because an RFE can be an indeterminate amount of time, but they only occur with the USCIS. A checklist at the NVC can take the 20 business days to review a checklist but generally only takes about 10. It goes to the document review department which is a bit different than the normal case review department.

Yes, sorry, I am in the NVC stage.and yes, I do mean a checklist ( dunno why I said RFE, got a but confused there, it's 1:30 am here haha) But so yeah, I know it goes to the DR not the other one, that's why I was keeping my fingers crossed it takes less time and they would have less correspondence I guess. Of course, on the phone they still tell you 20 days....Thanks NikiR.

Hi guys! quick question: I had to resend a document part of my IV packet and so I realize we have now been pushed back because of this but I was wondering, if any of you had an RFE, do you have to wait AGAIN the whole 20 business days they tell you to wait or does it move a bit faster? thanks!

You're ok They automatically generate checklists after reviewing one of the packages. same thing happened to us. they will get to the IV package soon.

Well they are just creating confusion in everyone's mind. NVC is in mess due to AOS fiasco and they are delaying things at every stage, so I believe they are just sending out RFE's, in some cases it dosnt even make sense at all. People got case close and after 3 weeks again they are receiving new case complete date. There are cases where person signed with blue ink and was asked to send it again. its been 3 for him and no case complete yet. People were asked to send documents which they have already provided. So I believe 2 to 3 weeks for them to review RFE's and yet not sure if they will close the case and won't come up with another gimmick.

OMG all this sounds terrible. I hope to God you're wrong in my case Not sure what the AOS fiasco was, my husband's was approved with no problems. thanks for the reply

try to get a supervisor to expedite the review of your document

Stevie, how do I do that? call and ask to speak to a supervisor? what should I say to them? just "I beg you expedite reviewing this?" thanks

We were so close to our case being closed and then got a checklist that the NVC is waiting for one of my police certificates (I lived abroad a year and had to get one). Unbelievable....I called and they said sending a copy would be alright so my husband fed ex-ed it. The NVC will receive it tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation before when they just had to (re)send one more doc, how long did it them them to review it and close the case? The operator just told me 10 to 15 days,which I find utterly ridiculous since they misplaced. Do they not review it once they get it? thanks!!!

Thanks guys. I kinda thought this was the case. Cheers!

Is the AVR message for the NVC number still available? I know they used to have it but now if you call their number they just transfer you to an operator, no choice of an AVR message. Was curious what that would say if they still have one.

thanks so much to everyone, it really helped! Markieboy, thanks you, I know about that guide, I was just a bit unsure at this point, since they tell you there to wait for their e-mail and bla bla cheers!

Ok, great, thanks to everyone! One more question though....after I email the Choice of Agent, do I have to wait for a confirmation e-mail from them before we can make payments? I already have my IIN...thanks!
