Hi, Colleen, congratulations on being scheduled an interview. I was wondering how long it took from being DQ to being scheduled an interview. My husband and I are currently waiting for an appointment to be scheduled.

My husband and stepdaughters were DQ'd on April 26, 2023, and they received the email scheduling the interview appointment on July 13, 2023. We are in Mexico, so the interviews were scheduled by Ciudad Juarez consulate. That is a very fast turnaround for CDJ - I'm in a Facebook group of others at the consulate, and there are others that have taken much longer.

Thank you so much for your response. I have seen on this site that some people have waited a lot longer. My husband is in Mexico, and I’m in the US. He will have his interview at the Ciudad Juárez consulate too. He was DQ in June. We are hoping very much to be scheduled for an interview quickly. I don’t understand why some are scheduled so much quicker than others. This process is so hard.

I’m in the US too, but live on the border, so I have the advantage of seeing him and my stepkids frequently. It’s a grueling wait though, and I hope you get an interview scheduled soon. Look up the CR1/IR1 CDJ Facebook group - there’s lots of people there that post when they get their interviews and what their DQ date was.

Congratulations on the interview date - I hope it goes well! I see you had your case transferred and was wondering if it was from Texas to Nebraska? .. or the other way around? Asking because it appears that Ciudad Juarez processes Nebraska cases faster than the other locations, but not sure if Nebraska was really where yours was done from? Thanks!

Our case started at the Nebraska Service Center and was transferred to the Texas Service Center.

Hi Colleen, you're scheduled interview from the time NVC completed is lightning speed!!! Any idea why??? My husband and I were married in October 2021, it seems like we got the run around at every stage. Finally NVC received everything in January this year. I'm really trying to figure out why some move faster than others. Good luck at the interview.
Leeen21 on 2023-09-19 said:
Nyla J, we truly were, and I have no idea why. Perhaps it's because there are multiple people (husband + 3 stepdaughters) in our case, even though they are 4 principal applicants. Maybe they give preference to family units? Honestly, I have no idea, but I know it's unfair to those who have been waiting so long. I wish there was a better way. Are you also in Mexico/CDJ consulate? If so, join some of the FB groups of other people for that consulate - they give really good ideas of timing, and I know that people who were DQd in January are hoping to get interviews by the end of this year based on others' timings. Best of luck!!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
