Try reaching out to them? It's confusing because they say they schedule interviews based on DQ, but there must be something else that factors in.

I saw that so I was hoping for something this month, but it's already the 15th and nothing yet.

much awaited 15th of this month , Has anyone received interview letter yet ?

Also waiting...DQ since August 11, 2020  

Have not heard of anyone getting a letter today. Quite disappointing as we've been waiting for 7+ months! Also, with the announcement that they would be increasing operations "effective immediately" two weeks ago, we thought that would lead to more ILs this month.

It's pretty frustrating, on the website it said NVC phase should take 90 days or less, yet here we are waiting 6 months and up

I don't think complaining about the embassy on a public forum is going to help the situation.  My husband just did his interview today at the embassy with a DQ of June 2, 2020.  They are working through a huge backlog of IR1 / CR1 and K-1 from the pandemic as well as catching up on all the categories that had been banned and are no longer.  Plus helping out the counties in the region where the Embassies are not open.  You just have to be a little patient.  If you have an actual emergency they seem to be willing to help with expediting but, don't be mad just because you have to wait longer than 3 months from DQ date (this is not typical for this time).  You don't know everyone's situation - they could have a true reason to expedite which is why they go first.  Patience, patience, patience....

I think it's fair to complain. We each have our own situation and experiences with them. I know about the whole pandemic affecting all that, but then again during the pandemic they kept doing interviews for students visas and even prioritized that while family based visa interviews were put on hold. Even now when they are saying they will prioritize IR1 and CR1 visas, they are still holding interviews for student visas. I think it's perfectly normal to complain. Not like they will care if we complained or not.
