DQ?

 

On average it takes 1-2 months to get scheduled for an interview after DQ.  Longer if the embassy has backlogs.

I think it’s too early to complain. We have a DQ around the same time as you, but our consulate has a four month backlog. Some consulates have a 20 month backlog, so a 2 month wait is nothing.

the wait now is for the embassy to send notice to NVC that an interview can be scheduled/ u will be in queue

Yeah true. My brother was DQ September 9th 2022 and had interview December 21st at the Benin Consulate. It’s 2-3 months average for Benin I think.

I’ve been DQ since Oct 19 and it takes about 3 months and 3 weeks to get the interview letter from my husbands embassy in Santo Domingo. Really hoping to hear something by the end of next month or beginning/middle of February

they do not send interview letters till the embassy says to send them / that's the way NVC and the embassy work together for the CR1 interview

 K1 is different as NVC only assigns a case # s  and sends that packet  to embassy and the interview is scheduled by petitioner or bene

 

don't confuse the 2

 

when the embassy is ready,  they will notify NVC with open interview date and u will receive notice of that with instructions for the original documents bene needs to bring /u should check those out on USCIS site as so many times a case goes into AP (extended processing ) because a document is needed / those are listed on following site
