Have you called yet?

No, I just gave them a break coz anytime I call, I don’t get a liable update on my case.. They keep telling me the 11 weeks thing,  can’t even tell me if it’s in the review or not 😣

Sorry if I bring a sad tone to this thread, but I wish I had known this when we were waiting for our interview... I do not know numbers or percentages, but there are a whole lot of people here on VJ, especially from North African/African and Middle Eastern countries who have "successful interviews" and then are put into administrative processing. Please be prepared logistically, i.e. don't sell your home or car, of course, etc etc, and most of all, be prepared emotionally too. We were not. 

Some APs I am seeing are short but many I have seen are months long. Again, I do not have numbers, (and I have been looking here for a collection of that data in VJ, and have been unsuccessful) but I think it has become quite common practice these days.

I hope with all I have that you guys get your visas without more delay!

I analyzed 3705 cases and summarized them in the charts below.

Most cases are scheduled on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 29th, 30th monthly, you should call them in the end of these dates. The rest of the month, they are just chilling.

And somehow they don't want put much effort in January and November. On the other hand, they like scheduling people in December. :)) I don't know why but maybe they want to finish the work as soon as possible and go home for the holidays.

They don't schedule manually. There are multiple computer chips that monitor the activity. Each embassy around the world send their open slots to NVC each month and the computer chips are told to schedule the completed case based on embassy's open slots. Each case go themselves and get scheduled according to the case completion. Since it is programmed, there should a specific timeframe for scheduling. The time frame is last week of the month through the first week of the next month. After that, they only schedule if the specific embassy gets cancellation or re-scheduled cases.

Thanks for the info. But still, there is a big difference between 1st,2nd,3rd,29th,30th and the rest. Doesn't hurt to call NVC and check your case on these days.
