Check your NVC interview scheduling status
How the NVC IV Scheduling Status Tool works
The U.S. Department of State's IV Scheduling Status Tool shows the documentarily complete month and year for which the National Visa Center (NVC) is scheduling most immigrant visa interviews at a selected U.S. embassy or consulate. This tracker builds on that monthly NVC scheduling data by adding historical movement, interview-post backlog, DQ queue gap, Visa Bulletin eligibility, and case-specific bottleneck analysis.
Use the tool to check your NVC interview scheduling status, compare your DQ month with the current embassy or consulate cutoff, and understand whether your immigrant visa case is mainly waiting on the NVC interview queue or on your Priority Date becoming current. The official IV Scheduling Status Tool is updated monthly and does not guarantee an exact interview date.
Lagos interview queue
Your Visa Bulletin gate is satisfied, but Lagos has not yet reached your DQ month. The visible bottleneck is currently the interview-post queue.
Visa Bulletin & Priority Date eligibility
The August 2026 Department of State bulletin warns that EB-2 demand may require retrogression or the category becoming unavailable in the coming months.

NVC interview scheduling history
The cutoff has not advanced in the latest updates. Your DQ month is 4 months ahead of the latest published cutoff. At the recent pace, that gap would take roughly 4 months to cover if the same pace continued.

NVC IV Scheduling Tool FAQ
What is the NVC IV Scheduling Status Tool?
The Department of State's IV Scheduling Status Tool shows the documentarily complete month and year for which NVC is scheduling most immigrant visa interviews at a selected U.S. embassy or consulate. uscasestatus adds historical queue movement and case-specific analysis to that scheduling data.
How can I estimate my NVC interview wait time?
Select your interview post and visa category, then enter your documentarily qualified (DQ) month. The tracker compares your DQ month with the current NVC scheduling cutoff and shows the size of your queue gap and recent post movement. It is a trend analysis, not a guaranteed interview-date prediction.
What does DQ mean at NVC?
DQ means documentarily qualified or documentarily complete. It refers to the point when NVC has received and reviewed the required fees and documents for the immigrant visa case. NVC interview scheduling is generally organized around when cases became documentarily complete.
Does the Visa Bulletin affect NVC interview scheduling?
Yes for family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas. A visa must be available under the applicable Visa Bulletin category before final issuance. Immediate Relative immigrant visas are not subject to the same preference-category numerical limits.
How often does NVC update IV scheduling status?
The Department of State says the IV Scheduling Status Tool is updated monthly. This tool uses monthly NVC scheduling history so you can see whether a post is advancing, stalled, or moving backward instead of viewing only the latest cutoff.
Independent NVC scheduling tracker: uscasestatus is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State or National Visa Center. Visa availability is evaluated against the August 2026U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin. A preference applicant generally needs a Priority Date earlier than the applicable Final Action Date for a visa number to be available; “C” means Current and “U” means Unavailable. Immediate Relative cases bypass this numerically limited Visa Bulletin gate. NVC interview intelligence uses the supplied IV scheduling-status history and compares a user's DQ month with the post's published scheduling month. Queue gaps and historical trends are informational only and are not guarantees of an immigrant visa interview date. Official source: Department of State IV Scheduling Status Tool.
