Thanks. While I am happy for you, this is really depressing. NVC tells us interview is based on DQ date and yet there are a number of us with April DQ's in IR1/CR1 categories that have no clue when we are going to get notified. So much for transparency....
Seriously it's makes really frustrating...
Sometimes I think that forget it everything ll be done at right time but when.....????????
There is limit
But can't say...
Nothing
No words

True. What is confusing to me is that NVC tells us that interview is based on DQ date regardless of category. Well.. @NPYC has a DQ date of 4/26 and the 2 F2A's had DQ/CC earlier than that (Feb & Mar respectively) . Why then did the two F2A cases receive notification today and the IR1/CR1 case receive it before them? That's why this whole process doesn't make sense at all.
Lol
Still No one can understand how they are going on ..
Right now It looks like randomly they are giving b. Cz someone is there having

Hi All,
Below is the last email we received from NVC on May 14th does this mean our case is complete and we are waiting for interview?
The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.
NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MUMBAI (BOMBAY), IND to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).We got this message from NVC on May 14, 2019. We haven't heard back from them since. Does this mean that we are done at the NVC and now we will be waiting for the interview date at Mumbai?
Yes...
Now wait for interview
@DDP&JDP u both are on same date dq

nothing over here. i called NVC they said that you can try expedite. But Mumbai is a less then 10% chance for approval on expeditions. I also heard of the nightmare that someone else went through when they attempted expedition and lost there place in the que. So im on the fence to try to expedite.
what VB? you mean FB is current... i know i am really ready to see june numbers for visa statistics.
Let's see
B. Cz don't heard anything from this month..
Not a single IL of any category..
Even though f2a is current but no one get IL
So our hopes alive for August
Good luck to us

I read somewhere that NVC is mandated by the Immigration & Naturalization Act of 1990 (INA Act) that every year, all numerically limited category Immigrant visas should be completed fulfilled if there are enough cases waiting at NVC with DQ. The year ends Sept 30 every year. So for next 2 months expect NVC to maximise numerically limited category visas like F2B/EB2, etc to get priority in interview slots over immediate family slots.
If i remember correctly, 140,000 numerically limited visas are given every year all over the world, they need to ensure that all 140,000 are given out between Oct 1 to Sep 30. So last quarter - July to Sep will be busy time for these types of visas.
Than do we need to wait until September to fulfill this category of visa???????
As ir1/cr1 is always current category than what's our fault??????????
How can we wait that much longer???? 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

All,
Just wanted to share our Mumbai interview experience.
Our interview was on June 28th at 7am.
We arrived at the consulate at around 6am.
There was already a lot of people waiting across the street.
At around 7am. The security told everyone to line up at the entrance.
No phones or electronics are allowed. So make sure you give it to someone before you enter.
We were let into the embassy in line and then entered the building.
First step was the security where everything was scanned.
Make sure you have copy of the interview letter.
Then we were led into a another room with about 100 chairs and 17 counters.
We were all given 2 tickets in the order that we stood in line.
Then consulate workers checked all our paper work.
DS-260 confirmation with Biometric stamp (make sure you take this as some people forgot this and were turned away)
All police clearance certificates
Passports
Medical report
Birth certificate
Marriage certificate
Have copies of each of these documents
Also have all your supporting documents
Marriage photos/albums
Petitioner financials
Evidence of relationship
We are called to the counter 2 times.
First we are called to the counter to double check all our paper work.
Then we wait for our second call to the counter.
This can take 1-2 hours depending on what your ticket number is
Then we are called to another counter for the second time for the actual interview with an interviewer.
This time they begin to ask questions
Who is the petitioner?
Does he have any siblings?
Where was he born?
Where was your husband born?
How did you meet?
Have you met since the wedding?
What do you plan on doing in the States?
Basically they are trying to 3 things:
1. Verify who you are
2. Validate the validity of the marriage and it is not fraudulent.
3. Make sure you are not a burden to the state if you immigrate.
We had all our travel plans and meetings and timelines memorized.
It is a good idea to prepare and memorize a timeline of when/where/why and for how long you met while you waited for the interview date.
The interview was about 10 minutes.
And everything went great and we were APPROVED!
They took our passports and said we will be notified by text or email when it is ready.
Some tips:
- Having the petitioner (husband/wife) accompany you to the interview makes a huge difference because it gives the interviewer more confidence in the relationship and reduces your spouse's stress levels which makes the interview a lot less stressful.
- Be patient and in a good mood and smile. If you have all your paperwork and relationship in order, you have nothing to worry about.
- Dress appropriately, but I would suggest keeping it simple with wedding bangles and tikkas since that is not something you wear on a daily basis.
- Be respectful and patient
We exited the consulate after about 3 hours and it was pouring down rain, the monsoon rains had just started.
So make sure you have someone waiting outside or ready to receive you.
The interview was on Friday and we got a text on Monday afternoon that the passport was ready for pickup.
We picked Mumbai as our pickup location, the same building where the biometric is done.
Passport tracker:
https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-passporttrack.asp
Check case status:
https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==
Again, if you have all your paperwork in order the process is straightforward.
It never hurts to bring in more evidence and paperwork than is necessary, just in case they need something. Better safe than sorry.
We flew into the States a few day after collecting the passport.
Make sure you pay 1 more $220 fee to process the green card before you travel:
https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-immigrant-fee#How_to_Pay_the_Fee
At the port of entry:
Since it was our first time entering the US, we were taken to a separate area for processing.
Here the office asked us to sign a conditional form, that basically said we need to convert to IR-1 on our 2 year marriage anniversary.
Then our bags were put through the "agricultural" department. Where we were asked if we had any food items or seeds.
I would suggest not bringing in any food items into the States as it might cause issues at the airport.
We cleared everything, gathered our bags and exited the airport.
Thank you everyone on this thread that helped answer questions and post their experiences!
Good luck!
Congratulations to uh...
N thank you for info...
Can you please share on which date you get IL ?????
