Spouses, children and parents of US citizens
July 2026
Compare with the month NVC emailed you that your case was documentarily complete.
What this month means
It is not a wait time: it is the month NVC is scheduling most interviews for now, and it can move backwards. “Current” means NVC is already scheduling cases from the update’s month; it can also mean the post schedules none, so check the embassy’s own website (usembassy.gov). Documentarily complete: NVC has accepted all your documents.
