Believe me, I understand. I got my case complete on March 5th and still don't have an interview date. There's really nothing to do expect try to be patient and wait, though. Posted Image



It depends on your embassy/consulate and how busy they are. Some cases get interviews the same day as their case complete (the UK is usually pretty fast, for example) while others have to wait months (like my consulate, unfortunately. Posted Image). It really changes depending on the country.



I just noticed how the fiance visas usually get assigned a date before the CR1 cases in my country IDK why !!! ughh its annoying :bonk:

You probably didn't make the cut for a May interview. You can probably expect to hear something next week about a June interview. Just try to be patient! Posted Image


Its just annoying waiting for NVC to get the case to NVC then pay everything and now i have to wait for my country to assign a case . I think my country SDO takes forever to give you a date .

okaaay. We just got another checklist.

This one is asking for Immigrant Visa Application Part 1.

WTH?? I filed my DS-260 on-line and it reads completed and has for a while now.

I’m glad hubby has taken over calling them. They are driving me crazy.

Is Ben & Jerry’s considered calorie free if you eat it during immigrant visa processing?


Yes ben and jerrys is considered calorie free when going through this process . Lol

Hey all,

Just wondering is it true that interviews are only scheduled during the second week of a month and if you don't get scheduled then you have to wait for the following month? Or is that a bunch of baloney?

Cat

I heard the same thing but i see a few people that have thier case interviews already so am myself a lil worried about my interview date since i still dont have one .

You may have a bit of a wait. Looking at the timelines interviews for the DR seem to be 2 months out from case complete. Keep calling though. :)

edit:

I found this in the may interviews thread:

TeamMcGregor........03/15/13....03/29/13....05/15/13....IR-1/CR-1....Dominican Rep.

They recieved the interview date almost 15 days after the case complete... keep yer chin up!



All this waiting is going to drive me up a wall !!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDenied I-130
Cubans are usually denied visitor visas because there is a perceived threat that they will stay. Because of the Cuban Adjustment Act- any Cuban that arrives to the US can eventually request residency. Because of this, the US Interests Section denies many visas. If the applicant does not have any strong ties to Cuba, showing that they are likely to return (good job, kids, property/assets) and have never traveled outside the country before, they will most likely be denied.

In theory this should not have any bearing on your application. I am sure there have been many who had been denied visitor visas that have gone on to successfully petition for immigrant visas. What is tricky is the timing here. It will look very suspicious that he is now applying for a visa so shortly after being denied a visitor visa. This will be true if you apply for a CR-1 or a K-1 visa. My guess is that they will heavily scrutinize your case to make sure you have a bona fide relationship, so you should really work on compiling as much evidence as possible: phone calls, emails, visits, etc.

Yep, we are.

 

Both AOS and IV recieved on the 10th Feb and DS260 completed on the 7th.

 

Looking at current cases it seems that 12 business days is around average. Which would mean hearing something midway through this week. Fingers crossed!

 

 

Good Luck!

yes hopefully we also hear something asap.

Unless you recieved an email saying to fill out the I-864 just leave the first blank. The second is when you sent the package yes.

The timeline is the same one used when you couldnt download forms and had to wait for them to be sent to you. Life has speeded up quite a bit since VJ was created. People should be thankful instead of complaining so much IMHO. smile.png

I wanted to ask why we have to call and ask for a case number? Our lawyer told us that now we have to wait until NVC will contact US to submit documents and pay fees etc.

 

 

don't wait for them to contact you, you contact them, just keep calling and calling.

First off, please don't yell. (Writing in all caps on a forum = yelling)

 

The IV bill won't be invoiced until the DS-3032 has been received and added to the case file and this can take 2+ weeks. What's the status of your DS-3032 the last time you called NVC

 

 

I didnt mean to right in all CAPS. I called to day and was told that my DS-3032 has not been reviewed

They get 20 business days after they've received it.. You sent it back on the 7th... even counting from then, you're at 13 business days.  Sucks to wait but you'll likely not hear anything until Tuesday.  Was there a reason you had to use the I-864 instead of I-864ez?  More people should use the EZ version if they are qualifying on income only, are petitioning only 1 person and don't have a joint sponsor!


No no reason. I guess i was in a rush to finish and send everything asap,that's all
