Hey Everyone! Onto this new thread which I am pretty excited about after a CC. I just went through all the pages and wanted to get some feedback on when people were notified for their interview date after they get CC. Some people in the FB group get it the same day and I've seen some later but wanted to see what the latest trend seems to be?

Thanks. So it's about 8 business hours, not 24 hours! :)

I was thinking of calling this evening on the odd chance NVC had assigned us an interview on Monday... but I guess that didn't happen and I should make better use of my time.

It's mildly frustrating that we received case complete on the last day they were scheduling for October but we didn't make the cut.

Yep... less is more sometimes.

I had it even worse. Missed a scheduling round by one day and was bumped off the following one. Hope you'll get on board on this coming one, which I expect in a week's time.

It can depend on embassy but for the most part NVC schedules about every 2 weeks for 2-3 days. There are usually 2 rounds of scheduling for each month. Based in past behavior we expect NVC will start scheduling November interviews in about one week.

Edit: check out the first post in this thread and the spreadsheet for some detailed info and data.

It's mildly frustrating that we received case complete on the last day they were scheduling for October but we didn't make the cut.

I hear ya! I missed the Oct interview cut-off date by 6 days thanks to lazy NVC employees who did nothing from last Oct to early Sept. :bonk:

However, no complaining! :whistle: It's better than getting a checklist and waiting for another 60 calender days! :dead:
