Generally, it takes approximately *-5 months from the time NVC sends your case to the U.S. Embassy. You will receive a notification about your interview date.

The Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a crucial part of the immigration process. Could you please tell me more about your current situation? For instance, have you already submitted your AOS application, and if so, what updates have you received so far?
no affidavit of support
If you've not yet submitted the Affidavit of Support (Form I-*), it's essential for the immigration process. It's used to show you have the financial means to live in the U.S. without needing welfare or financial benefits. Could you explain why it's not submitted?
