Hello everybody,
I'm updating this spreadsheet:
I am IR-1 Visa beneficiary.
Original NVC Scan Date: March 5, 2015
NVC Checklist Scan Date: April 23, 2015
NVC Case Completed Date: May 21, 2015 (28 days after checklist Scan Date),
confirmed over the phone from NVC customer service representative on May 21, 2015
Also, the third N/A showed up on website, being changed from "Paid" to N/A on May 21, 2015.
Received NVC Email confirmation for Case Completed on: May 29, 2015.
Interview was scheduled on June 2, 2015 (I found out over the phone) (12 days after CC).
Received NVC Email with P4 letter (Interview specific instructions) on June 9, 2015 (7 days after Interview schedule was done)
CEAC status shows the case is "Ready".
Medical check-up was done on June 23, 2015.
Interview took place yesterday, July 2, 2015 at 1:00pm at US Embassy in Bucharest / Romania. Result: APPROVED. Yeah!
POE will be between 1-3 months from now ... Yeah! Finally! ...
Good luck to all VJ members with your cases! Have patience, I know that this process takes time, trust in God, and one day this journey will be history.

Just a little "fine tuning" after "AT NVC"...
"IN TRANSIT" means that NVC has entered your packet into the DHL system. Your status will stay "IN TRANSIT" while your packet is still physically at NVC, even though it has been entered into the DHL system (sometimes 24-48 hours), and during the time your packet is moving through the DHL system.
Your status will not turn to "READY" until the Embassy/Consulate has received your packet from DHL and physically scanned it into THEIR system. So...your packet could physically be at the Embassy/Consulate's mail site (often the mail site is a different building from the actual Embassy), and DHL could say the packet has been delivered, but until the Embassy/Consulate logs it in, it will still be "IN TRANSIT".
The case officers/consulate officers at the Embassy/Consulate will not know anything about your packet until your status changes to "READY". That is why, if you are trying to shift your interview date, you must not contact your Embassy/Consulate until the status is "READY". Until them, you are not in their system and they cannot "see" you.
In some Embassy/Consulates, there is a lag time between the interview approval and the time the visa foil (the page that is glued into your passport) is printed. During this time, your status is "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING". Until the visa foil is physically printed and glued into your passport, you will not see "ISSUED".
Hope this helps.

I'm just updating this thread:
Waiting for an IR-1 Visa case to be completed at NVC.
Original Scan Date: March 5, 2015
Checklist Scan Date: April 23, 2015
I'm hoping that my case will be closed no later than next week and
Embassy schedule interview no later than the end of this month.
Hopefully interview date will be in June.
Good luck to all of you with your case!
