Case complete, timescale to interview?
 

I've just contacted NVC and they have confirmed my case is now complete and I am in the queue for an interview at the consulate.
Any ideas on how long this will take? Any recent experience on timescales?

I would estimate 4 to 8 weeks.

4-8 weeks until I hear from them? Or until I attend the interview? If I hear from them in 4-8 weeks when is the interview likely to be? A month later?
Sorry for so many questions.......was planning on going out to see my husband and now I darent book anything!

They will notify you in 4-8 weeks about when your interview will be, all depends!

Congrats on getting through NVC! I’m hoping I’ll be ending that road next few weeks. The answer is how long is a piece of string, as there is no definitive answer, but from what I’ve been seeing it’s approx 2 months from case complete at NVC to interview date. But take this with a pinch of salt as there are just too many variables but gives you an idea.

And how long does it take from scan date to case complete as of late?

NVC have changed their party line recently from 11 to 6 weeks, however recently seems 3/4 weeks average but seen several cases under 2 weeks, just luck of the draw.

That's a good news. My scan date is last Tuesday.

How do they notify of case complete and of the interview date? By email or do they send a letter by post?

Re: Case complete, timescale to interview?
 

Email to say case complete with details to follow on interview booking. You can use the NVC case checker. When it changes from “submit documents” to “at NVC” that’s usually an indicator case complete but call to confirm.

Although it was 2016 (but things haven't changed too much with the CC to interview stage), my timeline was:

Case complete on October 20
Got my interview appointment email October 28
Interview was December 6

They issue the interview appointments at the very beginning and very end of the month usually. So at the end of October and beginning of November they were doing December appointment notifications. At the end of April and beginning of May they will be doing June appointment letters.

My status changed from "submit documents" to "at NVC" 9 days after NVC received my paperwork, so not sure if that is the case, unless mine had been scanned and reviewed in record time! :rofl:

Re: Case complete, timescale to interview?
 

I would say so! I’ve seen people recording pretty quick times but didn’t want to say that hear giving false hope! But congrats!!

Re: Case complete, timescale to interview?
 

Can you give me a link to where I can check the status of my case?

I submitted my papers to NVC 4 weeks ago, so I'm thinking I'm at case complete within 3 weeks but would like to see it in writing!
I had an email saying they require additional financial information from my secondary sponsor but that I can take it to my interview.

I just check here.

Thank you!

It says at NVC. When I spoke to them on the phone this week they said my case was complete, should that message change?
