@Journeyman23 I feel you! As someone else said here, it might be perhaps because of summer vacations. But also, they usually hit the quota in August so they might not want to schedule too many. The quota restart October 1st. Last year they did a big jump in August, fingers crossed it's the same this year. Here are my notes from last year:
As of May/June 2024, they are scheduling January 2023
As of July 2024, they are scheduling January 2023
As of August 2024, they are scheduling May 2023 (January to May (someone is January 5 and another is May 15 at the same time)
As of 3 September 2024, they are scheduling June- August 2023 for end Sept interviews
You can also check out the "Consular Updates" tab in our Google Sheet to get a sense of the patterns. It really varies month to month, sometimes there's nothing for ages, then suddenly a bunch come in.

Really hoping it’s like last year and we see a wave in August, and it's not a slowdown because of the new administration. Fingers crossed!
