Interview scheduling at Guayaquil

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

Employment: EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 and EB-5

Current

the update’s month, Oct 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.

Family preference and employment cases also need a current priority date in the Visa Bulletin.
