Blue slip to overcome

[ameriken]

We are far from this... however I am doing some preplanning for my trip next year for her interview. I plan to get to Shanghai one or two days before, and then we can fly to GZ.

 

I wonder if there are any average timelines from blue slip to overcome interview? If possible, I would like to incorporate this time into my planning, just in the rare event she gets the blue slip. Thanks !

Now if you receive a blue slip you must make an appointment to submit an overcome. I beleive you can schedule one in as little as a week.

Please read the refusal sheet (blue sheet) for specific instructions.

 

Re-payment of the IV processing fee is required if evidence to overcome a refusal, i.e. 221(g), 212(a)(4), is not made within one year of the date of last refusal; this fee will be collected for all cases in which the delay is not due to US Government processing.

My experience was an overcome appointment was accepted only in the current month. I called on October 12th and the man told me I had to schedule my appointment in the month of October. He could not schedule on November 7th, which is when I was planning for so I took the October 31st date.
