Immigrant visa: Child of U.S. citizen

Interview scheduling at Praia

NVC is scheduling most CR2/IR2 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Spouses, children and parents of US citizens

July 2026

same as on 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.
