I have been following this page for a few weeks, and I'm afraid we're in for a long wait. I filed last April and the process was smooth until it got to the NVC. We were DQ on the 24 of October, I haven't heard anything from them since. I decided to have my wife apply for a visitor's visa and she is scheduled to go in on the 13th of March. It is sad that you can get an appointment as a visitor withing 6 weeks. They may deny her but its worth a shot.
