OK @SalishSea, please when should we contact the US Consulate? We hope to receive a new date before my spouse's program starts in August 2023. Thank you so much.

I would contact them now.   You left out important info in your post (country/consulate), which could help you get better answers.

 

Wait times and processes for making appointments can vary widely.

@SalishSeafrom my earlier post, I have contacted them and they replied that they are yet to receive my case file from NVC. But when I login ceac.state.gov page it says that my case file is at the US consulate in Helsinki, Finland. Thank you

Okay, that is odd.   Maybe they delay sending the file from NVC to consulate, until they know for sure you’ll attend the interview?  
 

Also, CEAC status may not be up to date.
