US Immigration from Portugal

My husband and I were luckily able to file DCF via Paris, though we live in Lisbon, Portugal (Paris embassy has jurisdiction over Portugal when it comes to immigration visas). We are now preparing the DS-260 and soon to schedule the interview. Any other fellow DCF couples who have either filed through Paris or generally in Europe? For those of you who have managed to file DCF during the pandemic, any idea how long the next step takes once the DS-260 is submitted? Thanks and happy to be a part of this community!

My wife and I filed our AOS on September 30th. It was delivered the next day. Our check got deposited 3 weeks later and we got 3 text messages with the receipt numbers.

We have USPS Informed Delivery - we get e-mails from USPS everyday with scanned photos of the mail we will receive that day. The emails are always very consistent and accurate. So few weeks ago, we got an email with 3 scanned photos of the USCIS letters along with another unrelated envelope.

We were thrilled. So we checked our mailbox and there was only the said unrelated mail envelope. No USCIS envelopes at all.

We filed a report with USPS and they said it's normal with the whole COVID situation. I call it (removed) because we ALWAYS got the same mail it says in the email we get that day. We got in touch with USCIS and they said they will get back to us by the last week of November.

We have been waiting forever and our worries are getting bigger every day.

Just wanted to see if anyone had the same issue and how they had it resolved.
