As TrailMix mentioned, most of us are on that great spreadsheet, (Thanks TrailMix :thumbs: ) but just to reply to you personally...

Our case was completed June 24 and we received our interview letter July 16 and my husband's interview is August 22 (for a CR-1). Just about 2 months. We have a relationship with our Congressman and asked him to "ping" NVC on our behalf to see if we could get an interview in August after a month went by and we hadn't heard anything. Not sure if that had anythign to do with it, but we got the letter literally less than 48 hrs later via email. Then in the mail a week later.

Hope your process goes smoothly!
