I think you might be on to something.  I had called NVC earlier today.  A very friendly rep told me that they are still assigning interviews worldwide(I feel like they say this everytime I call weather it is at the beginning,middle or end of a month).  She told me that there may be certain months where an embassy may only give interview spots for specific visa types so maybe that is what's happening these past few months.  I also know a few people personally that  got CC in Oct/Nov of 2017 and got their interview in February/March of 2018.  I think we can still hold out hope for another week or two for an interview in January.  

I think the prediction and expectation is for NVC to start scheduling interviews at the end of this week and next week for January.

I waited about a week and a half to call.  I think the location of your service center matters because some cases will get to the NVC faster than others.  Try to call during non peak hours I called on a Tuesday 8pm US Central Time was on hold for 40 mins...😒

According to the NVC website the letter from the NVC should tell you which method you should use to submit the documents.
Option 1-Scan and Upload documents-use this method if the letter from the NVC says "you may being online processing"
Option 2- If your NVC case number begins with one of the following prefixes:
AKD,  AMM,  BGH,  DMS,  GZO-- you would scan your documents and send all documents via email to NVC
Option 3-If option 1 or 2 don't apply then you would mail all your documents to NVC 

Got some good news!!! I signed up to get email alerts from the new USCIS website, I got an email early this morning saying an action was taken on my case.  Logged into my uscis account and saw that the case was approved!! VJ estimate was only off by a few days.  Good luck to everyone else that is waiting, your time will surely come!!

Each individual file (scanned document) must be no larger than 2 MB (megabytes). If your scanned image is too large, compress it before uploading it. “Zipped” files will not be accepted for uploading.
Scan each document as a separate file. If a document contains multiple pages, scan all the pages together into a single file. If the document size is more than 2 MB, compress the file. Only split a document into multiple smaller files if it is still more than 2 MB after compression.
Acceptable file types include .jpg, .jpeg, and .pdf.
