Hi Brit. Excuse me, I still find it hard to read the VB. When the visa bulletin for a particular month is released, does it mean your case number is current? For example, the VB bulletin for February has been released and they are for March interviews. Does it mean those with case numbers ranging from 26000-27800 AF are current?

Hey Britsimon
My case number is below 40 in Asia , and I have submitted the DS 260 form a bit late on February (few days ago),So when do think will my interview take place??
Best regards
February 15, 2015 at 23:57
July earliest, September latest.
February 16, 2015 at 11:30
Do you suggest me to email them or something , or I just have to wait ?
Thanks for the kind response
February 9, 2015 at 20:57
Okay my case number is AF71XXX
February 9, 2015 at 21:00
Ok – so your number is quite high. You are in a risky range, so all you can do is wait. IF you get current you would not interview until September, so you have to wait to see what the VB released in July says….
Good luck!
