Interviews for EB1 visa in mumbai consulate

[VSRam]

I haven’t seen anyone informing about the ILs in this forum recently. Based on what i have seen in this forum, mine was the last one and my DQ date was mid march, got IL notification from NVC mid june and had the interview on 29th Aug. If any one with the DQ date after mid march update here, then that would give us an idea. Based on my case if we go, then you are right, i hope, you can expect the IL in 3 to 6 months.

sjchn thanks for the reply!. Hope we receive it soon.

Anyone else in the forum EB1A category who got DQ'd and Interview scheduled recently?. Please post your updates, that would be very helpful. Thank you.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience in detail. If you could guide me on following questions then it would be a great help.
My EB1A interview has been scheduled on 14th September.

1) Did they ask any questions to your wife?
2) Do they ask for the job offer letter from the US employer? (I have done my EB1A I-140 filing from India and I am employed in India till this time. I don't have US employer as of now and that is perfectly fine in the case of EB1A)

I would really appreciate your help for this. Thank you.

Hi@ayraval, Hope your interview went well!. Can you share your interview experience and also the date you got DQ'd? Thanks!

I got my IL recently. I expected it to take longer considering the wait times on their website but looks like Mumbai is operating normally.

My EB1A was approved in the end of June 22,
received the welcome letter by the end of July 22,
sent my documents via mail by the third week of Aug and got documentarily qualified by Sept 2nd week.

Received my IL in the first week of October and the interview is scheduled for the last week of November!

Hope this helps!

hi all can folks with interviews in november post thier experience ? Anybody with IL's in december or January ? I am still waiting on the IL with DQ date of october 28th. wondering if there is a slowdown again ?

Hi Guys, Had Interview in November. My application was EB1A along with my spouse. In a nut shell, it was approved. But- Surprisingly the Final interviewer asked plenty of elaborate questions starting from my schooling to now!. Asked several questions regarding my petition and from what's already in their records.It went almost for 25 mins!. Also, many questions were directed towards my wife in regards to our marriage, how we met etc. So please go through your case/petition thoroughly. Hope this helps!.

Hello All,

I am new to this thread, but I read all the conservations. Looks like the interview wait time is shrinking from early 2022.
Anyone has any IL update on Feb 2023.
Mine yet to be DQ, I am two weeks behind the current application processing time.

Just curious to know the time frame.

Thank you
