Hi Viki24

 

I just made a post related to yours moments ago on today June 25.

 

I'm not sure if waiting periods are different for your type of interview, as opposed to what we are waiting for.  I got my Fiance here in July 2009, and the interview for the K1 Visa only took about a Month after the NVC received it from USCIS.  They had taken one year at that point from my original submission of the K1 Visa Petition, to its approval.  Back then the one year was three times the normal wait period prior to us (three months had been typical before 2008 between submission of the K1 and ultimate approval).  Once approved back then however, the interview flowed pretty quickly from date of approval.

 

Now we have been waiting 13 years from the time we submitted a Petition to bring my Wife's Unmarried Son Over Age 21 here.  The VISA was approved within weeks, but back then in 2009 the expected wait time for Filippine people for "Available Visa" was 12 years.  We waited the 12 years, have had all paperwork and fees approved and received by the NVC in March 2022, and one year and three months later are still waiting for the Manila Embassy to give available dates for interview to the NVC.  So if wait time for available interview dates is the same for your type of Petition as our type of Petition is, don't hold your breath.
