Interview scheduling at Dhaka

NVC is scheduling most IR5 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Spouses, children and parents of US citizens

August 2025

−4 months since Sep 23

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.

For now, from our reading of the numbers: Dhaka issued only 255 in January and February 2026, against about 530 a month from March to December 2025.

Visas issued show how busy the post is, not how long you will wait.
