Hi there.

The NVC received our documents on the 22nd Dec. I understand it takes up to 30 days for them to process it and issue a interview date. However there has been nothing but static.

I was just wondering, would the 30 days get pushed up because of christmas and the recent storms?

Ive tried to contact them via email but nothing from that yet either.

Thanks for any help

Simon

So, that included your Notification of Readiness, right?


It can often take 4-6 weeks, and you're still well within that time frame. Yes, things very likely slowed down during the holidays.

I contacted them twice during our process, both times it took them six weeks to reply (the replies arrived after the post subjects had been approved), Christmas and bad weather didn't factor into either, make of that what you will.

Yes I believe so, the documents we sent, with the completed AOS form, after I filled out the other part due to waiting for transcripts etc.
So both online forms are complete and as far as im aware all we have left to do is the medical and interview.

Hopefully ill hear something by friday thus week then as that's pushing the 6 week period.

Thanks

I'm confused. I've read your previous posts and I'm still unclear whether or not you and your partner are actually married. If you're married, please call him/her your spouse... because the term "partner" is completely unclear... and it does make a difference. If you're married and you're in the UK, there is no AOS processing for you... so I now confused as to what documents you sent. Can you please be specific?

You really need to clarify - because what you say doesn't make a lot of sense.


There won't be an interview until after the medical is complete. Have you had the medical yet? If you haven't, you probably shouldn't have sent the Notification of Readiness.

Okay so we are married, sorry for being so confusing with things. We've been married since June, and my spouse petitioned for a IR1/CR1 visa in the us.
Oh I just realised what you thought I meant by aos. I meant affidavit of support not adjustment of status.

And going by what the london embassy says, its not recommended to book the medical until after you receive an interview date.

Again, sorry for being confusing.

So based on processing times..what's involved here? I only ask as someone who filed their Notification of Readiness 14 days after i did has i date, and as of yet I don't. Is there a method to the process? e.g. in order received or something else

Something else, evidently. Depends who it gets assigned to, how busy they are, holidays, time off, etc.

No. US immigration is not, and never has been, a linear-sequential process. Applications may start off being processed in the order they're received... but that's where it pretty much ends. All you can tell from two people's timeline, is that one person is at Point X and the other is at Point Y. There's absolutely no other correlation between those two - and you can't make any on the basis of an arbitrary timeline.
