Hi! Our i130 case has been sent to the NVC and approved. However, we have been waiting for our interview at the embassy “Amman, Jordan” for five months. Is that an expected time frame? Thanks!

Mine is approved since december 2022

Guilany, I hope you hear back soon. That is a lot of time! It used to be a couple of months.

@Ali Sulaiman Then the solution is to ask for an expedite request?

@Todd Ghaba Interviews can take from 2 weeks to 2 years. It depends on the embassy.

Todd GhabaDec 26, 2023

@H k April 2023, transfer to the NVC. August 2023, NVC approval. sorry for the late reply!

H kDec 27, 2023

kindly can u tell us it tooks 3 months for you why? mostly people say it takes less

Todd GhabaDec 29, 2023

@H k you said “mostly” That means there are a few cases that came with a different time frame. my friend’s family case took 8 months at the NVC! each case is different. Best,
