You can see for yourself in the visa statistics https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Immigrant-Statistics/MonthlyIVIssuances/APRIL 2021 - IV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf search document for f2a. There were only a handful in April.

I could only find 5 cases (5 visas were issued???!!?) in April for F2A. Other categories (IR's, F2B, etc.) have been issued more... isn't it weird? Why?

I don’t understand that tbh. It is possible that some of the FX cases are F2A but I agree it seems strange that there are so many more F2Bs than F2A issued.

Right. I wonder if there is a way to figure that out. Maybe reaching out to embassy or NVC? Any thoughts? One year passed and we still didn’t get an interview date.

Well - most of that past year was consumed by the trump ban that only got lifted at the end of March, so there is also a big backlog. F2B and the other F- cases were also affected though and they issued more in April. You can certainly try reaching out to your embassy for information. NVC only schedules into the slots that the embassies give them so I don’t know how much useful information you’d get out of them.
