I feel you! Yaay seems like we got to talk with the same rep.. Geez after 3 reps, actually the 2nd one hang up on me, i got to talk with a supervisor. I compared cases like you did and i got a clear answer from her stating that they process BY SCAN DATES, PER/ACCORDING TO (TAKE NOTE), VISA CLASS, FOREIGN CHARGEABILITY, EXPEDITED OR NOT, EMAIL/MAIL ..so they are rally organizing mails and emails, sHitaff ... Im tired of stressing over their ###.. Il be waiting until june 1 at 12 midnight est as she adviced. My case is in line for review but not yet touched .. Gadamn nvc! Im starting to lose patience and respect for them

What happened to the cc's this week?  I thought we would see some cc's for people who had scan dates between March 10 and March 17?

I do not have the exact details, but some members got their Interview schedules the next day of their CC. It actually depends on when your Embassy/Consulate provides NVC with the available dates, how many slots are available with that Embassy/Consulate and how many cases before you are still waiting for interview schedules. I analyzed last few Interview date updates for IR1/CR1 on "India" portal, and deduced that it is taking around 9-12 days for NVC to schedule interview date (we were a bit lucky that ours was scheduled in just 7 days). I also deduced that recently, if the CC is within 1 - 15/16 of the month, you usually get your interview the following month. I encourage everyone to analyze their respective country's forums and go over the "Timelines" of recent Interview dates; this will give you general idea about how long it usually takes. I also encourage everyone reading this to keep their timelines updated; it helps others immensely. It also keeps the predictions accurate as it can be, given the number of VJ members. I had a hard time getting general idea, because 60-70% of the timelines were not at all accurately updated. Many of the members who were already approved did not even have timelines. VJ helps you a lot for your issues, you should also payback by taking a little time and keeping your profile updated. (Sorry for the long rant. It has been building up inside me because so many people do not update their timelines)
 
Also there does seem to be a pattern as to what interview date you get. My best guess would be, if you have same CC date, they schedule Interview dates based on PD (Priority Date, which assigned by USCIS). @reuben44 had the same CC date as ours, were scheduled the same day as ours, but their Interview date is 06/30 and ours is 06/13 (of course, we both have same consulate).
 
P.S. @reuben44, please complete the questionnaire here. NVC Case Status Questionnaire -  2017

I'm still waiting for the interview date email. Hopefully sometime this week or next. I will make sure to update once I do.

I think this may only be applicable to IR/CR1 visas? I have had this AT NVC status since date of receipt by NVC up to now. 9 weeks later, same status. I also don't have the AOS tab, but still not CC.

Case by case basis.  Depends on the rep reviewing the case although some of these delays including interview delays due to a "wet signature" required and embassy delays during adjudication were highlighted in the recent Q&A session with the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
 
Guess their errors are being spotlighted so hopefully some of the changes they implemented will streamline the process a bit!

Hi everyone my expedite request was approved today. I sent it yesterday morning by the afternoon they sent me an email stating that it was being reviewed and today it was approved. 

Well I just gave it a try but I started of by saying that i was requesting an expedite due to the long wait time that exceeded 6 months during the uscis stage. Then i mentioned that based on my calculation my husband interview will be schedule around september making it impossible for me to travel. 

@JBMG just looked at the spreadsheet looks like we have a new confirmed April scan date! For April 3rd from @ajmac this is crazy they are skipping everywhere..

I have added this new way to know CC to first Post.

Yes.. thanks.
I'll make sure to do when I get them.

SENEGAL OVER HERE 2!  SCAN DATE MAY 1ST, ITS GONE BE LONG WAIT 

Hi, 
 
Did you get a CC? 
 
If so, can you update your status? Here are instructions on how to edit/save the questionnaire. 
 
Thank you.
 
JBMG

Yep that was me. I emailed him back and he confirmed they are working to get it down to 8. It seems like they are. 

Hey guys..
I'm sorry I'm getting back this time, been busy.
Just called NVC and a rep said my case has been completed since the 4th of may, and I got a notification on the 11th of may.
But he said I don't have an interview date yet.
 
Kindly add a column for priority date cos your priority date determines how quick you get an interview date.
 
First scan date -  November 30th 2016
Checklist - February 23rd for missing death certificate
2nd scan date - March 8
Case complete - May 4th
Waiting for an interview date to be scheduled.......
