Pregnant wife waiting for interview.

[Speedy troy 7]

Our I-130 case was approved at the NVC level almost 10 days ago, but we haven't received any communication from either the NVC or the Moroccan embassy regarding the interview date. I would appreciate it if someone could provide info on the typical timeline for scheduling an interview at the consulate in Casablanca.

Additionally, my spouse is currently 6 months pregnant, and we are concerned about whether this will pose any issues during her medical examination as part of the visa application process. Also, can she fly at 7 or 8 months of pregnancy?

If you are planning on a birth inside the US, I would prepare a plan B.  You could be looking at several more months before the visa is issued.

Why is that? We've been waiting for over a year now.
That was not the plan, it just happened and also I'm a USC so my child can get his citizenship via CRBA.

Crazycat is not accusing you of anything, geez…

 

Simply stated that the process might not be done before she goes into labor, so better (also) be prepared that she might give birth overseas.

I wasn't implying he was @Crazy Cat sorry if I came off that way.
I'm just trying to understand and we've been thinking about that plan for a while now. I just wanted to check and see of there is a site that I may have missed where I can check how far back the consulate in Morocco is backed up.

Even the quickest consulate is about 3 months from DQ to interview date, so I think you'll need to be prepared to fly to her for the birth. Good luck.

Unfortunately, the process can take up to 2 years.  The average case, as reported by other VJ members, takes over 600 days.  The USCIS approval is only the first part of the entire process.  I don't mean to discourage you.  Just prepare.  Good luck on the rest of the journey.
