we all know immigration is slow but expect it to slow down even more this time of year
We will hit the long 4 day weekend for Thanksgiving, then Christmas , then NY's day
US offices here plus Holiday closures in embassies tend to make this this slowest for all timelines
also , understand that many offices in the US tell employees that have not used this year's vacation time to "use it by end of year or loose it"
which doesn't help any of u waiting
check your embassy for US and country specific holiday closures to give u a better idea of what u r facing/ they are posted in each embassy webpage
also we go into the new year and if it looks like your interview will happen after the tax date, get those 2022 1040's filled out ASAP keeping copies of W2 any 1099,or 1099rR and the 1040 fpr the interview as getting IRS transcripts gets harder when they have not yet processed your returns
Advice from one who waited long for all this to happen
the very best to u all in this Holiday season
