Finally got an email with our interview date (November 27th)! They did schedule it for us, but we did have to schedule the separate biometric appointment ourselves in AIS. 

So relieved that things are finally more set in stone now

Thank you so much for the info!! We got the NOA2 on June 26th. It's weird because our CEAC is ready since August haha but it doesn't let us schedule an appointment. We already submitted an inquiry to the same link and got the same answer HAHA "your case is in the appointment queue" so yeap, just keep waiting. Your update gave me hope haha thank you so much!

Ahhhh yeah that's confusing lol

Either way, it feels way too long waiting!

Weirdly, that person said earlier in the thread that their NOA2 came in August (https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/745299-ciudad-juarez-interviews/?do=findComment&comment=10778518), so 7 months between that and interview which is why I thought it had got quicker. Not sure why they said October as well, or which is correct though. 🤷‍♀️
 

Another update for anyone also looking for answers!

We finally got our appointment scheduled. Yes, they did schedule the interview for us and sent an email to the petitioner's email from the original I129F (beneficiary has not received an email, nothing in physical mail as of this moment) notifying us of the date and steps to follow (setting up account in AIS, etc). Took a couple days for it to let us finish setting everything up in AIS, it was still saying our case wasn't ready to be processed, so give it some time from the moment you get the email. We did have to schedule the biometric appointment in AIS ourselves, so we just picked the business day prior to the interview appointment. I will continue to update here with any other information that might be useful to others going through the process at CDJ.

Hi all - finally got an interview booked today for November 9!

Yes, we did the DS-160 pretty shortly after the Ready status. I've tried calling the embassy but can't get through to anyone, just gives another number that I have to try later today and hope I get some answers. There are options for lawyers and congress members, but I don't have either of those to assist me lol
Very frustrating. My fiance has also called the applicant help number but they could only give us generic information, nothing specific to our case. Last week I sent an email to the address listed for the visa appointment service, but still waiting for a response.

Welp, that number I got had the exact same options, so no luck there. I did however manage to find an inquiry form for CDJ, so submitted an inquiry there (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVfgiNz1651bJFw8-3cSF2IBMIwXMZpUF3CodoSIhc6XW3SQ/viewform) but looks like it'll take at least a week to hear back. Fingers crossed once again.

We're in a similar boat at our embassy. Status has been Ready for over a month and a week and still no letter to let us know we can schedule the interview. Hard to not get anxious waiting so long when we're so close to the finish line.

After inquiring weekly, we just got our case number from NVC inquiry 3 days ago (NOA2 4/20), now it's already at the Embassy with a status of Ready, so guess we just wait for the packet now. It's all finally happening! and fast!
