U.S. Department of State Launches IV Scheduling Status Tool
In a significant development for immigrant visa applicants, the U.S. Department of State has introduced the IV Scheduling Status Tool. This innovative tool is designed to provide transparency and predictability to the visa process, allowing applicants to track when their interviews might be scheduled at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide.
Key Features of the IV Scheduling Status Tool:
– Monthly Updates: The tool is updated monthly, providing the most recent information on interview scheduling trends.
– Transparency: Applicants can view the month and year when recently scheduled IV cases became "documentarily complete" at each consulate.
– Predictability: By comparing the month and year their case became documentarily complete with the month and year shown in the IV Tool, applicants can estimate when their interview might be scheduled.
How to Use the Tool:
1. Select Visa Category: Choose your visa category.
2. Select U.S. Embassy or Consulate: Choose the U.S. embassy or consulate where your interview will take place.
3. Compare Dates: Compare the month and year your case became documentarily complete with the month and year shown in the IV Tool.
This tool is expected to bring relief to thousands of applicants waiting for their interviews, providing them with a clearer understanding of the scheduling process. Stay tuned for further updates on this development.
