They have one document that is listed by Country and another listed by Consulate.

Thanks for sharing! That's great that they posted new data and that the numbers are increasing!! I'm hoping we keep the momentum going.

Although I suspect that July numbers are gonna be lower due to an increase in F1's being processed prior to the beginning of the academic year. But I'm still hopeful that those waiting at NVC can get their interviews scheduled soon!!

Seems that Rio is doing a lot more interviews for August now.  Several people who received NOA2 in November 2020 are being told they have an interview.

That is great news! Is that information from a whatsapp or facebook group? I watch the time lines here, but have not seen any updates for a while.

My NOA2 is from september 2020 and It's still at NVC for me, that makes no sense.

Yeah ours NOA2 was December so I'm not expecting anything soon but will be pleasantly surprised if it happens.  

 

Apparently,  they are scheduling people for interviews for the following week.  

 

Also,  I see some people are receiving  NOA2 in 5 months now,  it took us over 8 months.  Hopefully that means the whole system is getting somewhat back to normal although consulates seem to be the major bottleneck now.

What I've been informed, by someone who just got her case transfered to RJ and her NOA2 is from March 2020, is that NVC sent to Rio K1s which NOA2 is from March to June 2020 (That happened a week ago) and next "group" is probably gonna be July-September. And it might happen this year still. Maybe, being positive, within the next 3 months. So I assume Oct-Dec would be at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022? idk. Hopefully sonner for everyone. Best of luck guys.

My Fiancé also has his interview scheduled for August 4. We received our NOA2 on July 7th, 2020. I believe we were the last in the recent group that got sent to the embassy RDJ.

That's wonderful news!!! I'm very happy to finally hear some progress is being made.

I'm January 2021 filer, and I'm still waiting for my NOA2. USCIS has processing times ranging from 8-10 months. I think the median wait time right now is definitely around 8 months. 5 month waits are definitely not the norm.

I don't think anyone is receiving NOA2 in 5 months. I saw in the Visa Journey Progress report some people reporting January or February NOA1 and July NOA2 but when I look further into it they are misreporting their NOA1 Notice date instead of receipt date. In End of year 2020 there was a lot of delayed NOA1s.

 

I sent my K1 in December and didn't receive NOA1 until March. The Notice Date  was in March but the Received Date was December.
