My understanding was all Indian consulates are closed. Any word on when it is likely to get a visa appointment?

My timeline:
FR from DOS: May 12th
FR sent to USCIS: May 20th
I got receipt letter from USCIS with case number: May 26th
Case approved: May 29th
Final letter from USCIS: June 3rd
No letters from DOS - I guess it doesn't matter. Maybe postal service is just having a tough time given the current situation.

My employer is willing to apply - we are cap-exempt because its a University. And premium processing is scheduled to resume this month.

I have been wondering from the beginning if there is some way to analyze all the cases posted here and figure out the expected time for FR. Because there seems to be no reason I can think of for why some get processed before others. Have you tried some of the recommended things - contact your congressman or have your employer email the waiver division? Since 16 weeks is now beyond the 'processing times' you have very valid reasons.

Not of much help. But, my fingers crossed for you and @anu55. Hope we all get ours soon.

I'm new here, but it seems like the DOS has announced some extensions. It may be extended further to June in the future? "Any J-1 program that had an expiration date between April 1 and May 31, 2020 will be granted a two-month extension in order to provide exchange visitors the opportunity to complete their programs and to continue to finalize travel plans to return home."
