Interview scheduling for immigrant visa cases is controlled by the U.S. Department of State and not solely by priority date (PD) or documentarily qualified (DQ) date. Cases are scheduled for interview based on visa number availability, embassy workload, and post-specific capacity, and DQ cases are placed in a queue that is not strictly first-in-first-out. Practically, once a case becomes DQ, movement to interview depends on the embassy’s backlog and visa bulletin progression, so timing can range from weeks to several months even when the priority date is current.
