Im so very sorry this is happening to you, and you’re right the whole process is so lonely and confusing. I’m told we are looking at possibly a 1 year wait for an interview at our embassy meanwhile I’m seeing other embassies get interviews scheduled within weeks. This is sickening, I wouldn’t wish any part of this on anyone. 😢
I pray you get your approval soon and the rest of the process is speedy for you because waiting for an interview at some embassies is longer than the USCIS process. God forbid you have to wait at the next stage too.
