rekhak, it's possible sept
I mailed them yesterday, got a reply saying it's likely in Sept. Since me and you went in the same batch, I guess Sept is a possibility for all of us.
theorizing again :
consulate publishes interviews for next month around 15th of this month.
assume that actual scheduling of the interview, once they knwo who are all ready to be interviewd (with visa numbers , physical file etc at consulate) is a small task, say 1-2 days. faster if they have automated it.
*assuming* it's chennai consulate which requests the visa numbers from dept of state, and assuming that it takes around 30 days for them to get it,
if chennai requests our visa numbers soon we all make it to sept.
so I guess the question is if chennai waits for the physical file to get there before requesting a visa number , or does it based on the electronic communique fro NVC.
and how long it actually takes to get the visa number from NVC.
let's wait and see.
so rekhak, I guess people are not worried about sailing permit and spouse name. are you planning to take a local PCC? how long will that take?
