bill23 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 This is Sha Qua's day today. I was informed that name check has been completed and the SO is eligible for interview. Another obstacle completed. I guess I will call every so often to see if the interview has been scheduled. Link to comment

All she knows is that it is logged into the computer. I try to be cautious with her with all of the letdowns. Link to comment

This group is at the end of the line right now, in terms of waiting for the interview to be schedule... My guess is that you will NOT get an Sept interview... Obviously, after we see how many get Sept interviews, it will be easier to judge the next round... it is important to have realistic expectations and being cautious or conservative is often a good thing in this visa process... Again, I don't see Sept as going to happen for you, but doesn't mean it won't. I would advise her that you guys have everything completed and are waiting to be scheduled; that you know of a group of people ahead of you and you can watch their progress... Link to comment

So this would mean that we may not even know of an interview date until September? I think just having the date would mean a great deal for us. Link to comment

So you'll have a very strong indication by then about any Sept interview. Then the cycle repeats at the end of the next month. You will generally have about 40 days notice for the interview. What I recommend is if you want to try and get a few days advance notice to the mailing, call DOS a few times during this P4 cycle; say two times a week for this next cycle. Again, as we see how quickly the P4s are received, we'll see if any in your 'peer group' get one. Link to comment

The DOS does not seem enthused about taking these calls. Of my 4 calls, they all seem like they have much more pressing things to do. Link to comment

david_dawei Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Great news! Time is a flyin now for ya I bet. It is for me. Today was a very good day. 232068[/snapback]you got P3 ! Your [NVC out - P3 in] time (as is the previous member getting P3) faster than normal, by almost a month This could be due to fewer cases having left USCIS since march; ergo, I've wondered what the consulate has been doing with fewer cases on hand. This throws one small wrench into my earlier comments to Bill; whether the lower case counts at the consulate will pull those waiting for an interview, in quicker or not... since there are fewer overall cases with whom you are competing... yuan fen: I've updated your timeline you passed along and now the P3..but having issues uploading to the ftp site.. so I have not forgotten you!

Would have had it back out today, but having the wonderful SO that I do she did not want to wake me. Anyway. I'm in one of the last groups just before the halt. I was in limbo for a while. I didn't know if I would sweak through to be launched into the process, or if it would take the latter. Bill's could see the same possibly. I suppose this has been on my mind quiet a bit, and my recent interest in what's actually going on. Link to comment

David, Actually it has been 69 days from NVC-out to P3-in, which looked about average to me looking at timeline #s? About on schedule. Unless I'm just not understanding your meaning. Link to comment
