National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

Yes it is the NVC. That is my guess about the times if i logically think about it. But i am still checking every minute lol


The NVC are on east coast time right? So they're 5 hours behind? So it's 2.30pm now it should be 9.30am NVC time?

Well Monday has arrived. Fingers crossed for some interview dates this week :thumbs:



Let's hope so....I've been checking and checking then double checking but nothing yet.

Fingers crossed the London Embassy has plenty of space for us!!!

That makes me nervous but hopeful too :)


Yeah I really wasn't sure how to take that news. I feel like we would be quicker calling London ourselves and booking an interview. How long does it take to check availability!? I don't understand their system and why it has to take so long.
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 18:01:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
My husband just got off the phone with the NVC and said that they have been scheduling interviews this week and will continue to do so for the rest of the month if there is availability.....

Go to the NVC Filers thread Read Post #1 about tracking your case to embassy.

http://www.visajourn...s-january-2013/

But as I said before our cases DO NOT go to the embassy until interview is assigned than usually within a few days to a few weeks the case is sent off. They people there's nothing to track if you haven't been assigned okay.

Watch Monday the flood gates will be open. It's the second full week of the month and well they have their holiday hang over done with.



Thanks for the info on tracking. I'll probably just wait until I hear an interview date before I check that since the NVC won't have sent my documents.

Every time I meet up with my friend Ben I ALWAYS get a visa related email, either NOA2 or NVC case complete!! I'm seeing him tonight!! Hopefully my good luck friend will work for us all!! PS, folks in the UK, hope your all doing well with the miserable weather!! Urrrgghhh!! Best of luck to all!!
David



Hoping Ben brings us all some good luck!

A bit worried about travelling to London from Scotland for my medical/interview if the weather turns nasty. I was planning on taking a train but we'll see.

I actually thought I had to have an interview date before i could schedule my medical but obviously not!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

Is your case on the way to the embassy? Did you check the DHL tracking? tru_loves_journey posts results just about every day. Mine left on January 9 but I haven't heard anything about an interview other than I will be notified.



I have never heard of this tracking? How do I go about checking?
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 13:36:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

It's 11 am Chicago time here and 6 pm at the embassy, so I wonder how they coordinate?


Maybe that's why the NVC has such long opening hours so that they can check in with the different embassy's all over the world.

I really don't know how they work out the scheduling of interviews though, and how they find out the availability of spaces.

It must take a while though considering some of the lengthy wait times people have endured. I've only had a case complete since Monday and I'm going out of my mind but I know others have waited much longer.

It's all just guess work!
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 12:04:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
Even though the NVC are open long hours the embassy's that they are scheduling interviews for are not. I know that the US Embassy in London closes at 5.30pm UK time so I'm thinking that if the two are liaising in order to schedule a date then they won't be speaking with the embassy after 5.30pm.

Unless they have already done that and are in the process of emailing out the dates?

I'm not sure though, this is just a guess.

Maybe it will run into next week too. Again, just a guess.
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 11:48:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

I know someone on the forum mentioned this same thing, but I don't remember where I read it. Is anyone announcing they have an interview scheduled? I haven't noticed.....


It was probably me! I think the inconsistencies at the NVC are a disgrace. I haven't seen anyone with an interview yet but maybe someone will give a shout out if they know any different?

I guess there is still a few hours left in the day for the NVC to be working but I don't know when they close.
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 11:21:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

I am so confused :/


Me too. Seems like it depends who you speak to at the NVC. I thought about calling the Embassy in London but not sure what help they would be. Surely they should have space for us in Feb.
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 11:02:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
How are the NVC allowed to give out such conflicting information?

My husband called and was told on Monday they were scheduling this week, then someone else on this thread was told it would run into next week, and now you have been told they are finished?

None of this makes any sense, are they being Embassy specific when they give out this information?
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-11 05:39:00

Hahahaha i did that yesterday i forced myself to go to my cousins all day. But today i was pinned at the computer again checking lol


I really hope so. It is driving me crazy


Saying extra prayers tonight! :innocent:
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-10 18:11:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

Me neither. I am checking mine from when i wake at 6am till i go to bed at 12am. And i check like 50 times a day lol


Yeah, that's exactly what I've been doing. I forced myself to leave the house today for a couple of hours to stop me from checking. It's painful!

One more day this week so maybe we'll get lucky.

Never really sure of what time at night to give up and stop checking my emails!

Don't know what time the NVC closes?
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-10 17:58:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

My husband called the NVC yesterday and all they said they could tell him is that an appointment is being scheduled but they cant say when it will be. All they said they could say is that we wont get a January appointment (we gathered that though). This is the worst wait so far :(


Aww you've been waiting since December with a case complete, that must be so annoying! Fingers crossed we hear by Friday :)
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-09 16:12:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
Wait, hang on.

Next week? What happened to them scheduling interviews on the 2nd week of the month?

On Monday my husband was told THIS WEEK for scheduling....
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-09 15:39:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
Yeah I've already checked that and it says 'being processed at NVC'

I was just wondering if anyone else on this list has had an interview date given to them this week.....
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-09 15:35:00

Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-09 13:13:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews

I think k1s are scheduled all month long by the embassy and ir1/cr1 are done the second week of the month.... just a thought..



Ah ok, thanks for the update, I was a bit confused! Doesn't seem fair though does it!? :wacko:

oh well, fingers crossed (again)
Lou29FemaleScotland2013-01-08 15:47:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)February 2013 Interviews
Yes, there seems to be mixed messages from the NVC about when they schedule interview dates. I've heard it's only one week in the month, and I've also seen on here that they schedule all month long? hmmm confusing!

Sometimes I think they just make up the rules as they go along!

We got a case complete today and the woman at the NVC said they would be scheduling interviews this week so we should hear back towards the end of the week. She said we should get a Feb interview if they have space for me at the London embassy, if not I would have to wait until Feb scheduling for a March interview.

Fingers crossed for Feb :)

US Citizenship General DiscussionNaturalization interview experience in Fairfax, VA based on 3-years of marriage
Hi,

Congrats on a successful interview :)

Quick question, are you able to keep your UK citizenship when you become a US citizen?
Lou29FemaleScotland2012-12-16 16:24:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionOriginals vs copies
You should be able to pick up extra copies of your marriage certificate from the place you registered. I just recently picked up extra certified copies of our marriage certificate and my birth certificate. It does cost money but it can be done right there and then in the registers office, no waiting time. Not sure if you're in the UK or US though, I'm in the UK and that's how easy it was for me.

Not so sure about the divorce decree though,

Good luck :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTRAVEL TO THE USA WHILE FILING i-130
Hi,

I am currently going through the I-130 process and have so far been approved (2nd August). My application is now with the NVC but I am planning on visiting my husband in the US at the end of September for a month since we have 2 family weddings to attend. I'm planning on just taking as much evidence as I have to show that I will be returning to the UK (approval notice from the USCIS, return flight info, receipt of payment to my lawyer for the I-130 process, my old passport showing all my previous visits to the US which have all been well within the 90 days and also my police certificate which shows a clear record). I hope this will be ok. I'm going to fly through Dublin so if I do get denied then it's just a short flight home. Fingers crossed!

Good luck.
