IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow Long?

Hi, mine was approved a week ago and I sent NVC email asking about the interview date, and they replied as follows:
Dear Sir/Madam:<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">All documentation necessary to complete the National Visa Center's<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">processing has been received. As soon as an interview date has been<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">scheduled, the designated representative of this case (applicant,<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">petitioner, or attorney) will be notified. The US Embassy or Consulate<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">General may require additional documentation at the time of the<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">interview.


NVC made my case a month left behind due to their own error, they did a typo on email address regarding the notifications of submitting documents (during that time, we were just waiting and our attorney was too busy with his other clients) and they told my hubby when he called them that my interview would be on the second week of Nov (no exact date). It really hurts us when some people are not responsible for their own job and their mistake affect us.
So my hubby called the consulate asking if it's possible to put me in october list but they said they can't. While the supervisor of NVC told my hubby that NVC can send the package by DHL only if it's requested by the consulate. All my hubby asked was a little favor from the consulate to send email to NVC to help us, for just 5 mins of writing email.
Now I understand how the world works, I don't think I can make it to be there before Thanksgiving.




I'm sorry to hear that..That is what I'm trying to figure out..roughly
when she is able to come ..thank you

If you want to get the best idea, then look at other members' timelines that are going/went through the same embassy, and see how long it took to get their interview date from case complete. This is what I did when I got a case complete and wanted to know the average time for Canadians to get their interview date scheduled.

Yes thank you..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow Long?

Have they sent you notification that they had received your documents?

No they don't send anything saying they
recieve your documents. I called and found
out they did recieve and approve. I was
just wondering how long others
wait from time Nvc approves
until Interview in
Jakarta is Scheduled..

It varies by country, depending how busy the consulate/embassy is. Some people get their interview date scheduled within a few days, others have to wait a few weeks for their interview date to be scheduled, then there's the poor folks that have to wait MONTHS for an interview date to be scheduled (Ghana, Cairo, etc).

And you can get the interview date anytime of the month. The operators will read from a script saying they only schedule during the second week, but that's a LIE.

NVC said by October 14 we should know..But that still
don't tell me anything..I was
just wondering how long others
wait from time Nvc approves
until Interview in
Jakarta is Scheduled..

Yes Jakarta Indonesia is not a busy Embassy.

nvc usually schedules them at the end of the month until the 2nd week of the next month

cmeperformMaleIndonesia2011-09-28 20:31:00

I don't think they will give the visa same day as interview day to your wife. They will probably ask her to go back to pick up the visa the next day or 2 days after the interview

Ok ,, that will work.. NVC told me some Embassy will.
I have emailed them to see exactly what it is..thank you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview

Hello guys,

I got my wife interview date in end of august for October 5. I think NVC is going let you guys know sometime next week for November interview. NVC will send you paket 4 for IR1/CR1 by e-mail.

From my experience after interview you have 6 months to enter US before visa expires. When you pick up your passport with visa in it, they give you sealed envelope to bring to US.

Good luck guys.

Great info!! thank you

On a related note, is there any reason to bring all new signed originals of the I-864 and tax transcripts to the interview (on top of the photocopy of what was sent to NVC), especially when nothing has changed between filing with NVC and the interview?

yes thats what I think..they have all ,,thanks

Yes, documents WILL arrive from NVC. NVC doesn't keep them, they forward them ALL to the consulate/embassy. No need to call Jakarta.

Bringing a set of copies is just so YOU feel safe and know that if they request it for some reason, then you have it. Better to be safe than sorry in this immigration game.

yes, they have the documents,,thanks

Technically, yes, NVC sends all paperwork to consulates/embassies, but it's always a good idea to have a copy of everything you've submitted to this point and bring it to the interview "just in case".

yes , I suppose .. I will contact Jakarta & see
if documents arrive from NVC
cmeperformMaleIndonesia2011-10-03 13:40:00

The letter NVC sent to us is a bit on the legal Jargon
side of things :) So I understand the medical process
& the forms needed to bring.. The photo yes...
Will she need the I-864 & income tax documents?
all the documents should come to embassy via
NVC right?
