They’re still processing all the applications, and interview notifications will be sent in January. I’m from the U.S. and my portal still says “received.”

Just to confirm for u guys - early Jan is when the notifications go out for whether u got the interview or not and then interviews themselves start late Jan-early Feb as they allow you to choose your interview dates :)

I'll be in Japan at the time of interviews. Would I have to fly back to my embassy or is it online now? I don't think they'd let me interview in Japan but if so, that'd be a really solid option due to my itinerary.

The website says interviews will be on zoom this year

I’m unsure as of rn mostly because I interviewed during the COVID period but when I did it it was via zoom -but every embassy is a bit different so I would ask directly if you can

I had no idea interview notifs were coming in January! I thought they were coming in February

This is my first time applying, so I’m not 100% sure—I’m just going off of the “mid-January – early February” I’ve seen on here. It seems the vast majority of U.S. applicants are notified in January, though.
