I believe after NVC it highly depends on the country. did you try following others from same embassy? stalk their timelines It helped me a lot. 

 

Personally it feels like average 2-3 months.

I think like Naes said, it's highly embassy specific
I went from NOA2 to Interview in about 6 weeks but those RIGHT after my NOA2 went about 2-3 months
Because I dodged our embassy's busy period of Late April-Mid June holiday madness. 

Your August 16th will be VERY close-
Don't forget that sometimes AFTER the interview, it can take a while.
There's some folks from May 2017 that went to interview and were approved but waited an additional 6 weeks for their visa....

You just can never know
 I wish you luck girl! you have certainly shown a high level of patience for this process and I pray it all goes smoothly for you.

I'm by no means an expert on this. but seems to me that This form is used for K1 Visas AND other visas, where you might be hiring a work, or maybe it's your spouse's mother, who likely won't work.  it's asking you how you will support them. room and board, an allowance? etc etc

Hello fellow August Filers!

I'm new to the forums. I'm hoping you all might be able to answer a questions for me and I'd like to share our journey so far. Sorry in advance if this is a little long.

 

August 2017 I filed the petition for my fiance who resides in Germany.

Sept. 21st, 2017 I received via regular mail what I believe is termed our NOA1 saying it had been received.

April 4th, 2018 I received email saying the I-129F was approved and will forward the petition to Frankfurt.

     -We requested Munich but that's just a side note.

April 4th, 2018 I also received another email that stated :

     -The U.S. Embassy in Frankfurt, Ger approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application.

      The NVC sent your petition to the U.S. Embassy for their action. The Embassy will contact you soon to schedule a

      Visa interview.

     -Oddly we didn't request such a thing but sounds good anyway as the wait is already long enough.       

 

We waited throughout the month of April to be contacted, constantly checking our respective emails and mailboxes but we never received anything. At the start of May she called the Embassy there but was instructed to email instead which she did. Again we never heard anything back which is very stressful. 

 

May 11th, 2018 the status when checking the CEAC website now says Returned to NVC.

 

I have since called trying to get more information but they state they haven't received anything back yet so I'm stuck in limbo on that point which has us both quite nervous as it's been a month now since it changed. I spent 3 weeks with her in Germany last year in April and we meet all the other criteria as far as we can tell anyway. I have searched repeatedly for possible reasons it would go from approved and being sent to the Embassy to being sent back to NVC. All I can find however is bad news with that occurring after the interview. We never made it that far though. No interview was ever scheduled. Does anyone had or know of anything like this happening? It's very disheartening after being so excited we had finally made it to the final hurdles with the medical exam and interview only to have it mysteriously sent back.
