Get Pre-Interview Checklist - Michiganworkskaorg

Week before the Interview: Gather copies of candidate's documents for review: application forms, resume, cover letter, etc. □ Review candidate's application. Are there any questions you need to ask about career history: gaps in employment, changes of career, etc.?

You must bring the following documents to the interview: Appointment Letter – The interview appointment letter you received from NVC. Passport – For each applicant, an unexpired passport valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States.

Checklist for Employment-Based Green Card Interview Two color passport photographs. Your medical report. A letter for a job offer. Your Employment Authorization EAD, if applicable.

After NVC receives your approved petition from USCIS, NVC creates a case file for you at the Department of State and assigns you an NVC case number. NVC will send you a letter or e-mail with your case number and a separate invoice ID number.

How long does it take to get an appointment? Although NVC strives to schedule appointments within three months of NVC's acceptance of all requested documentation, this timeframe is subject to the operating status and capacity of the consular section.

The National Visa Center processes most cases within 2.5 months, but timelines vary by case.

USCIS states the standard timeframe between their approval to when receiving your case creation from the NVC is 45 days.

Therefore, the real holdup is the Embassy who has not opened sufficient interview slots to meet the ongoing demand for visa interview scheduling. The NVC has no choice but to hold the case until the Embassy has informed the agency that it can schedule the applicant for a visa interview.
