Ours took about 2 weeks from DQ to interview scheduled. Interview was scheduled for 2 months advance.

DQ'd on July 28th. Hoping to hear back soon. Had a weird anomaly prior to being qualified. Received a message in the CEAC that read as follows:

 

"The income reported as stated on form I-864 is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview." 

 

Has anyone else ever received this? I believe it was an error as my income is a little over 4 times the minimum. I sent an NVC inquiry and received a generic reply saying they would review my documents. A few days later I received two messages that I was documentarily qualified and another message that said I didn't meet the public charge rule (same as above).  I will update this thread when I receive the interview letter.
