In most places, it is within one week. Normally not more.........

Denzel, can you share your case details? like PD, NVC case number, interview experience, etc... it will be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations on your visa, usually they do not tell you that it's approved but asking you to pay for the courier is one way of telling you that you will be receiving a visa soon!
If they are asking you to pay for the courier service, then it means that they are sending you something :) .................start packing!!!!
i was petitioned by my employer dec of 2003 and they sent my papers to the nvc just this year. my case was approved late last year. im not quite sure of the date.
regarding my interview, it went fine not to mention my 3 very active children ages 3, 4, and 2 months old. the two toddler were actively playing in the embassy and it was really very tiring to watch them not to break anything. in other words it was very stressful. my newly born child was also given a visa... i suppose. since i also paid for her courier... it was really a very fulfilling day for all of us.. and really prayers and perseverance works!!! good luck to everyone!!!

Is there anybody from India got an appointment letter from any consulate or attened interviews?????
Why here in India things are not moving???
Hi :) :Melody:
In india , processings are quite slow i guess???? I called up Mumbai consulate today. The person told me that my case is documentarily qualified but will have to wait for 2 months almost since he cannot predict the date. It was very disappointing for me. He also said that they have started posting the packets -4 for all those included in the list next month. But , he did notspecify about my date ............ so disappointing :uhoh21: . This entire process is really testing my patience :angryfire .
Anyone who has received interview calls from mumbai consulate or anywhere from India????????????? please let us all know. We all are very eager to know the happenings of local consualtes .
