Hopefully we'll be able to find some people to work with Anastasia next year (at least, I'm not expecting our case to get to Moscow before 2019 right now) if interview scheduling is still really difficult. Though a month out isn't actually that bad, I'd think.

I'm kind of wondering what it looks like for spousal interviews. I know there are a few with cases complete, but no interview dates yet, and if they did, they aren't updated. But that's not too bad for K1 to get an interview date within a month, it used to be 3+ months or so

I hope it goes quickly for you guys and best of luck with the process. Who knows maybe next year the situation will improve and Moscow embassy will have more employees dealing with the matter.
