Since people here have been so helpful, I'm posting this in case others find it helpful: My husband is applying for an IR-1 via DCF in Mumbai. We did not expect Rele Clinic in Mumbai to refer him for further TB testing after identifying what they said was a dark spot on his lung X-ray, but after eight weeks, which ended Feb. 16, the TB sputum test was negative, as we had expected. Rele said it sent the medical report to the consulate on Monday, which happened to be a U.S. government holiday. I inquired on Tuesday if the consulate had received it, but it had not, and whoever responded to my email said the consulate would automatically get in touch after it received the medical report. We weren't sure how to proceed with the rescheduling of the interview, and the appointment calendar online showed nothing open in the next three months. But early this morning the consulate emailed my husband to see if he could come in for an interview TOMORROW at 7:30 a.m. -- probably a last-minute cancellation. Someone later called to confirm whether my husband could make that appointment, saying that Monday was also a possibility but that he had to confirm a cancellation first. We went ahead and went with the Friday appointment. Fingers crossed!

I was told 3-5 business days. We had a minor hiccup in that they asked for my husband's expired passport so that added to our processing time, but it was pretty fast overall -- we dropped off his passport on a Monday (only one person can go into the visa center, just fyi), and picked it up Thursday. If we had remembered to include his expired passport, we probably could have picked it up Wednesday for sure. 

My husband and I don't speak Hindi, so I'll just answer the second part of your question:
 
1. What is your first language? English
2. Do you speak/understand English, and if so, how would you rate your comfort level with it on a scale of 1 to 5? (5 being very comfortable, 1 being very uncomfortable?) 5
3. What language was the interview in? English
4. Was a translator involved, or did the CO themself interview you in the language of the interview? CO, since she was American. 
5. If a translator was involved, how did they treat you? N/A
6. Feel free to share other advice or observations on the language aspect of the interview here.

If your PCC won't expire until after the interview, then why would you need a new one?

Your wife is probably going to need more than just a letter stating her income. She should provide as many pay stubs as possible. But surely your wife is not the only sponsor who began a new job in a new year, so I would think that having proof of her current income via pay stubs and employer's letter on letterhead should be sufficient. The I-864 instructions say: "You may submit this information for the most recent three tax years, pay stubs from the most recent six months, and/or a letter from your employer if you believe any of these items will help you qualify." But it's best to ask the embassy directly to see if they can clarify.
 
And yes, I would also think that the lack of W-2s means you'll have to go the I-864 route, not EZ, since the instructions cite the need for those documents.
