Our case was DQ'd October 14, 2025 and is still at the NVC.  The IV Scheduling Status tool states that the " NVC is currently scheduling documentarily complete cases with visas available from October 2025".  We have yet to hear anything, and we've been expecting something any day now, all month.

I'm curious what the timeline has been for others at this stage of the process. If we don't get a notice for an interview by the end of the month should I contact the NVC for status on our case?  Should I wait into April, even though they might start working on cases DQ'd in November?

I've been marking time concerning a lot of decisions until I get the interview notice.

When it says 'available from October 2025', that could be a date before your DQ date i.e. they're up to 7th October for example. 

 

So I wouldn't worry at all yet, I'm sure you'll hear soon.

 

Good luck.

Finally, after almost 2 years from first application, we got our interview email today!  Interview May 21, 2026!

An encouraging word to those still waiting; keep strong and patient, and it will happen.

WooHoo!!!!  That's good news.  It's already been a lengthy journey.  So, the NVC IV Scheduling Status Tool was pretty accurate as to what dates they were scheduling?
