Not yet, another email from NVC that your case for an immigrant visa is documentarily complete at the National Visa Center (NVC) and has been for at least 60 days.  NVC has received all of the fees, forms and documents required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview. Your petition is awaiting an interview appointment.The next communication you receive from NVC will be either a notice that your appointment is scheduled, or if an appointment is not scheduled within the next 120 days, we will send a notice confirming that your case is still in line for an interview

 

Any idea about timeline for visa interview?

As per latest immigration news, EB cases are Tier 4: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-prioritization.html.  Priority are for the family applications.  We hope that before the fiscal year ends which is on Sept 2021, we got our interview schedule.

Hope for the best. But their last part is scary. "However, as a result of COVID the number of visas issued in lower-priority preference categories or in such programs as the diversity visa program likely will not approach the statutory ceiling in Fiscal Year 2021.  "
