For context, we are waiting for my immigrant case interview letter (employment category) in the Czech Republic. This embassy handles very few cases and it takes a while. My DQ date is November 29th, 2024, and I've seen at least one employment-based case with a date in mid October 2024 who hasn't had their interview scheduled yet. This is a bit disheartening, to be honest, especially since I didn't find anyone who was scheduled, so I don't know if it's further 2 months or 1 year of wait. I see that Frankfurt and Warsaw embassies seem to be very fast, as well as others like Dublin and Stockholm
I know NVC requests eligibility proof for a case transfer. My wife is a permanent resident of CR, which gives her freedom of residence within the EU, and me along with her. Does being qualified for residence anywhere in the EU suffice? I've also seen a few reports that residence itself is not necessary and NVC is more lenient when the embassy you want to move to is not backlogged
