Totally Consulate dependent so no one can say

VJ is principally a DIY site but DIY is not for everyone.

Wow it's been a process...... in this event would an attorney be applicable 

An attorney cannot work magic to get you to the front of the queue for a consulate interview, if that is what you mean.

 

Also, you will get more specific feedback here if you indicate which visa you're waiting for.  It may be one that is not available yet per the visa bulletin.

Hi visa journey 

 

I was DQ on September 6, 2023 still waiting on a interview anyone else can relate to this timing. I had a lot of delay with the NVC had to get help from a congress man so am just curious anyone 

This is how DQ normally works:

 

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4. NVC schedules interviews for cases at the front of the line.

5. NVC schedules your  interview when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

6. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.

7. NVC then sends case to consulate.

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

You probably have a couple of years to go

I checked it On visa bulletin if you check the fiscal year 2023 March it's shows that visa is available for all priority date earlier than 08AUG16 so am not really sure if am reading it correctly all the feedback is giving me a better understanding and I am hoping and praying that (it's sooner not later) and I will also share my proceedings and help others along the way
