Hello so our Priority date was January 23 2020 and we were approved by USCIS on June 23 2020, we were documentary qualified on October 8th 2020. We are CR1/IR1 visa. Can anyone tell me when we should expect to hear back regarding interview at the Kenya embassy? We are curious to understand how much longer it will take because our case on the NVC site shows as "still at NVC".

I think the consulates are still working on the backlogs.  Your case will remain at NVC until you have reached the front of the queue for your consulate.  You might find some useful info by reading the other Kenya timelines and reviews for that consulate.  This is how the process works after DQ:

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.

6. NVC then sends case to consulate.

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

So this guy created a tracker/estimator. Its not perfect, but it helps to visualize how far behind various embassies are based on historical patterns. Based on this math, he's saying its approximately 10mo behind their normal waiting period.
