Hi, my I-140 has just been approved! Now I'm so lucky and excited. How long will it
take me to get an appointment for the consular processing (Germany)?

Thanks, Steven

I would expect two to four months.

Hey, Glückwunsch !

Was your petition filed through TSC ? Just learned that TSC started out-of order
processing and shifting thousands of cases to Nebraska and Vermont, in order to be
up-to-date until May 2002. Still waiting for my EB1 to be approved...

For CP, INS sends the file to NVC, and they then handle preparing it and = sending it
to the consulate. Getting the file to the NVC can take everywhere from= a couple of
weeks to 3 months (INS "efficiency"). The NVC is usually pretty quick to send the
file to the consulate. Once the file is at the consulate, it takes 2-3 months. All in
all, the usual time frame is between 3 and 6 months.
