Hi. So I have been doing extensive research on all of this. DQ dates May 2023 got IL in Jan 2024 and interview dates in March 2024. DQ dates in June 2023 have gotten IL in Feb 2024 with interview dates in April. With the data I have collected in a small time I see that it takes about 7-9 months to get IL. Recently, it has been more 7-8 months. US embassy in Dhaka will contact NVC and say we have slots opens for these dates, then NVC goes ahead and sends emails to people. I believe nvc looks at both DQ dates and PD when determining who is next in line for an interview. Example being two people have DQ: Jan 2024, one has PD March 2022, and the other in Aug 2022. The earlier PD will get IL before the later PD.
In general the number of IR1 visa issuances (how many visa are being handed out) is getting better. In May 2023 133 visa were given to IR1 cases and lasted data on the NVC page shows in Jan 2024 189. If Dhaka continues at this rate, hopefully, the duration of getting IL will become shorter.
