No.  In a month or two after March, you can see how many visas were issued......but not the number of interviews.

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

- Some old child of the 50's & 60's on his laptop

you can check at the end of April (for March) to see all stats on how any visas for every category were approved but  some may have been in AP and no way to see when the actual interview happened

the site has monthly approvals  by class and embassy

NIV for nonimmigrant

Thank you ! Gives us encouragement to see some movement. Knowing where our place in line would be tremendous but seems too much to ask ?

pre-covid it was a 1 year wait, I would estimate about double that.

All depends on when you were approved.

Check the regional forum for some more posts regarding this.
