We received the following notice:

 

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to scheduling your immigrant visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in GUAYAQUIL, ECUA to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner, and attorney (if applicable).

Please do NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until you have received an immigrant visa from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General.

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview. Please visit https://nvc.state.gov/prep for information about immigrant visa interviews. Additionally, the petitioner, as the sponsor, and all other sponsors (household members and joint sponsors), may be required to provide updated or additional evidence to you to present at the time of your interview, such as:

• Other income
• Assets
• Proof of current employment

Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC). You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

Regards,
National Visa Center,
U.S. Department of State

 

Trying to get information on timeframes for an appointment, or see their calendar but with no luck... 

 

Are we up for another year of endless waiting? 

 

Thank you

This is the process after DQ.  You might check other timelines for that consulate.  I have never found another way to check the length of the queue at NVC. 

 

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.

I don’t think Ecuador’s one of the consulates with a super long wait for an appointment (sine of them are 2+ years), but a search of timelines will give you idea hopefully. 
 

Best of luck.
