I had my interview this morning! I overheard another guy asking them and they said they expect no changes in the next few weeks... my interview was approximately 3 minutes long and I was so happy at how seamless everything was!!! They do a great job at getting you in and out. 
 

good luck everyone!!!!

thank you, this is very hopeful. 

maybe we will see another round of interview dates released this week.

How long did it take to get any reply on your expedite request from NVC? We've sent our expedite request  couple days ago (Tuesday October 6) and just wondering when we can expect to hear anything.

I submitted a few requests, and each one took about a week and a half to process. Good luck to you!

We applied but were denied. I have a suspicion that maybe if a denied expedite has tugged at some embassy heart strings (despite getting denied) you might get a tiny bump in your interview date (as I saw it happen to a couple of others on here?) but I could be reading too much into it and obviously no way to prove this (besides just what I have observed on here!)

That's interesting. I submitted a couple expedites and they were denied. I also got my senators to write to NVC though. Your theory certainly has potential and I hope you're right! I'm a little more hopeful about hearing in November now. Ours is an August 6th DQ.

Congratulations! 

 

I expected a lot of us heard today. Looks like we got into the November batch, too, despite our DQ going ahead on July 1st, for a Nov 17th interview day. Which is excellent because I have been going a bit crazy with the not knowing, checking on here and the CEAC website several times each day 😃

 

Does this mean they are finally clearing some of that backlog? Hope everyone else in the May / June batch got their interview notification today!

Congratulations on getting an interview day! If you don’t mind my asking, did you get an expedite?
