OK, so if IR1 then should be about a year. If you search the forum you'll find lots of threads with info on, here's a very recent one - 

Good luck.

Thank you so much for your help. So yeah DQ since 1/26/23. I also seen that it has been common to wait about a year for an interview especially for Nigeria. Other countries don't have to wait that long so not fair.

After you get your interview letter, how much time do they give you until your appointment?

fair?

 

the sheer number of petitions Lagos receives is the reason  for the long wait

giving u examples 

fiscal year they approved immediate family for 2332 and all immigrant visas approved were 4609 /this does not include numbers for denied or nonimmigrant visas

Lagos approves over 1000 tourist visas a month 

this is a lot of interviews and  the queue is long while a country like Finland had 39  approved family visas for the same year/  yeah,  they will get an interview faster in that counrty as there are fewer petitions 

 

check out the number of approved visas for yourself
