Been checking for appointments for a week and no "available appointments" ugh!! Another girl just told me that she emailed the Madrid embassy and they told her they were not sure if they'd be able to open appointments for September.... !?!? My 797 Notice of Action shows expires September 21, 2021 so doesn't this mean the interview has to be done prior to this date??

That's what the embassy told us as well that the "carta" will revalidate the petition... but being in the "unknown" of when they will be opening up appointments again is kind of odd. A this point, I'm not sure if getting a lawyer involved would help or not.. but I'm highly considering it. We have completed all steps and been instructed that they've received all documents and to make the appointment... now they have to do their side of things and open up dates for us!

Hey everyone! 
I just want to post an update - my K1 was approved!

Here is my timeline:

I-129F sent: 20 August 2020
NOA1: 1 September 2020
NOA2: 6 April 2021
NVC case ready: 30 April 2021
Received email of packet 2 May 2021
Interview: 30 July 2021
Visa received in home address: 5 August 2021

There was a slight delay in submitting documents as I was waiting for my police certificates from the UK and Malaysia. There was a lockdown in Malaysia and the offices were closed and that caused a delay in receiving the documents.

Embassy was quick. My interview was 10 minutes max.

As of now, I'm applying to leave the country and that is another whole process because of Covid, there are strict rules and regulations...
 

Just got an email from NVC saying our case is in transit to the Embassy. 
NOA: June 3rd

Yes mine left yesterday, hopefully yours gonna be moving soon

After almost 11 months we just got our NOA2!

Our NOA2 was on June 3rd. I never got anything from NVC but I called them and they gave me a case number. I have been using that to check the status online. 
Ours is also in Turkey. 

Hey there! 

Well you are right. Even though the USCIS waiting period took way too longer than I expected, now I'm hoping rest of the process will be done in 3 months or so.
I'm processing in Turkey and my fiance is also here with me. We are planning to go to the interview together.

 

To be more precise; USCIS asked "Request for Initial Evidence" from us, which was basically a request demanding even more evidence regarding our relationship with my fiance such as more photographs, travel documents etc. We thought the evidence was enough but clearly it wasn't for them so we added more photos with dates on them.We have also added an improvised/more detailed joint statement along with other written and signed statements from our close friends and family members as witnesses of our bona fide relationship.
