Hello, does anyone know the current wait time for receiving interview date after being DQ'ed? Anyone who recently received interview dates, when did you become DQ'ed?

One key item that we learned about the hard way: while there is "Israel, Tel Aviv" consulate, there is "Jerusalem" embassy, which is NOT located in "Israel, Jerusalem" and, like the only other location on the list, Hong Kong, has no country listed and therefore is listed under letter J way down the list. They had no way to fetch the DS-160 from the consulate in the other city so we had to refile, luckily that was free of charge and quite fast. We got into Administrative Review, having to bring the copy of the military book (did not serve) and this took another two weeks wait on top of the local holidays. Thankfully, a month's stay was enough (not a local, not a resident) and we did not have to extend the hotel, even though it took multiple visits to the embassy overall.

My fiancé had her interview today. She mentions that it was relatively easy and fast (15-20 minutes). Prior to the interview, she was greeted by a consular agent (gave her phone, all the necessary documents). She was asked a few questions (where we met, what year we met, location of first meeting). She briefly waited for a few minutes for the agent to review some information in a separate room and was approved. She was told her case status would appear as refused until her medical records were released to the embassy (originally was told by the clinic it would be a few days). Just be truthful and do not be afraid.

I am an American with a Russian fiance. We transferred our case from Warsaw, Poland to Jerusalem, Israel. Our interview was uneventful but we were sent back with a white 221g administrative processing slip and a refusal and told to come back with my fiance's curriculum vitae. They did ask to keep our passport, but we told them we had to leave Israel to collect the papers and they instead instructed us on how to mail them the papers needed. We are currently still in 221g administrative processing as of today.

Israel is different to other countries. They request police certificates from every country that you've lived for over 6 months (not a year). They put us in the administrative processing, because we could not provide it for Mexico, where my husband lived for a little less than a year as a tourist, waiting for the interview appointment at CJD.
After the congressman's office has reached to them they actually send us an email that stated that administrative processing takes at least 9 months. My husband went to the embassy to collect his Russian passport then, because he could not wait any longer in Israel. They issues him visa 3 days later on July 7th and on July 10th he picked his passport with visa in it.
