I looked it up manually in the CEAC website where you check your visa status. 

This might have been a bit excessive lol but I had to do it. And now I feel like I should share the info.. don't know if it even helps at all but it can't hurt...
 
 
So people waiting for Guatemala embassy now that your case starts with GTM2017673 for current cases and the rest of the numbers are the cases waiting in line... So I checked all the numbers on the website ceac to see where everyone is and to see where I am on the list.. here is the list of cases via there ending #s and where you are placed...

Sooo that's the info I came up with which leaves 17 cases that need appointments assigned... Anyone know how many appointments Guatemala City takes a month? 
 
 I did this so everyone has an idea of where they are at on the waiting list. 
 
Hopefully January is our month.
 
CC Sept. 25

Haven't read where it says that. I just did what a couple other vjers from other countries have done. I did it for my country because I don't see the harm in it as it doesn't display any personal information at all, they are just statuses. Being patient is tough but in this situation it's all we can be.

Yay got my interview date!!

I got my interview date now... Congratulations to us. Weldone Mr and Mrs Eze. 
25th January 2018..
I wish others luck.. Cheers 

Visa in hand. I must thank the VJ community for all the assistance rendered to myself and the others. 
 
I will hopefully contribute some more once I get to the states side. 
 
God bless all, and best of luck to all those awaiting their case completes, medicals, and interviews.

Just an update about scheduling in case you haven't been calling... lol
I called this evening and got through really quickly. Got a nice agent. He told me the following:
 
They'll probably still be scheduling for December through this week.
If they don't schedule us by Friday we'll probably be scheduled for an interview in January.
 
We found out that our CC was Nov 8. So even though we got a letter Nov 10 stating that my husband needs to bring the W2 to the interview, they didn't tell us "case complete." We should get that CC notification in the next day or so, as he said it takes about a week.
I asked about the W2 ( I KNOW I put it in the package, twice!) he said the embassy often asks for it (again) to be brought by the applicant, almost by default. 
 
ps - just went to my profile to update it and noticed that the Case Complete came EXACTLY 2 years after I joined VisaJourney. Thanks to all the lovely and supportive people here, you've really been lifesavers.

Woo hoo just got interview date!!
CC 10/30 
interview date Dec26 in Santo Domingo 

I got my letter this morning at 3am.  My CC was 11/3 letter received 11/14 and interview 12/13.

We got our interview letter after 12 hrs of getting interview scheduled, Good luck!! 

And now READY to ISSUED.
 
 

Status changed back to AP from READY this morning.

Thanks 😊
Yeah definitely .gov websites are my first sources but they say "if" you have to send us something. And other couples laid out all of their details about sending packet 3 to the embassy so I started to wonder! 

I had my medical on June 7th and interview June 9th, but was refused. We questioned/appealed the decision, it went into administrative processing and I just got it issued Nov 6th, a month and a day til my medical expires. That's why I'm on such short time. Either way, we're glad we got and it I'm sure we won't have a problem readjusting two yrs from now. SabrinaJerome thanks for suggesting to call. It won't hurt to try.

Sorry to hear that,
We've got the opposite case. The process took so long that by the time my husband enters we will have been married 2 years.
Here's the kind of curious thing - we just got an email notification that NVC will schedule an interview, and on the document, what used to say CR1 on previous documents has changed to IR1... even though we're about a month and a half away from our anniversary. Did the agent processing just know that my husband won't get his visa or enter the country until after the anniversary?
 
I guess in your case it wouldn't hurt to call?? I didn't realize the visa has such a short life... I thought it was valid for 6 months. 
What I know for sure is that your status (IR or CR) depends on the date of your entry. I think you are implying that you know that as well.

What Is Conditional Residence?
If you have been married for less than two years when your foreign citizen spouse enters the United States on an immigrant visa, his or her permanent resident status is considered “conditional.” The immigrant visa is a conditional resident (CR) visa, not an immediate relative (IR) visa.

Well you have the Spain Flag up so you are already in the Spain country portal. As  far as how long Spain usually like most of the less busy embassies is usually 30 days or so after case complete.
 
But let me explain it's all about when you get case complete and how many before you. Thre's no exact science to this. Scheduling for all embassies is the end of the month through usually 1st week. NVC schedules until they either run out of slots or run our of cases to fill the slots.
 
So expect 30 to 60 days after Case Complete to be scheduled is a good guesstimate  for Spain.
 
Sorry about the checklist hope you get CC soon.
 

does not make sense
if you just got your visa it is good for 6 months from medical exam and you could wait to travel giving you the 10 year green card
