Today we were finally able to schedule our interview appointment with the embassy! Our interview is set for July 17! 
 
Here is my timeline for your reference: 
Noa1: 12/21/2021
Noa2: 03/06/2023
At NVC: 04/25/2023
Case in Transit to Embassy: 05/09/2023
Case "Ready" at Embassy: 05/16/2023
Visa Payment made: 05/30/2023 and the portal on the embassy website for us to schedule an interview was opened to us... however 
 
...no appointments were available for visa interview, the calendar was completely booked and I would receive a "No appointments available at this time. Please try again later" message every time I opened the portal to view the calendar. I checked daily and even made a few inquiries to the embassy regarding no availability to schedule appointments. They advised me that I would receive an email when appointments were made available, and today on 06/14/2023 I received that email and immediately scheduled the next available appointment which was 07/17/2023* 
 
Officially about 1 month away from visa interview. It's been a strenuous process full of bumps and hurdles but we are finally there at the last step! 
 

I saw another similar situation recently in a different group. Incredibly frustrating. Hope you're able to get some resolution. For what it's worth I contacted both of my senators and both of my reps for assistance, and while I can't actually prove that their assistance helped, I believe it did.

Woke up this morning to amazing news. Case ready at the London embassy! She was able to book her interview for the 14th, she's actually in London today for her medical.

London Embassy doesn't usually have terrible backlogs, so there were actually interviews available later this week, but that would be too soon after her medical. Case was in transit 5/23, ready 6/5

There is hope. 75 days after NOA2 (March 8 ) and several inquiries, we got an email response from NVC inquiry with our case number and that it was in transit to the London embassy. She's got her medical booked for June 5th, but we have to wait for Ready status to book the interview.

We received our NOA2 today.
 
NOA1 12/20/21

Normally I post total numbers when untouched cases have significantly changed from 2k to 1k or less than 1k....
 
Like @mw & rg k1 said, mine is a tranche style script that ONLY present activity by case number in groups of 500 (which are not just December cases), and his script is sorted by receive date and include ONLY December cases.
 
If you want to see total untouched cases on a daily basis...also check back for my posts. I shared a google spreadsheet link of I129 daily/weekly/monthly progress including every month's untouched cases and backlog which has been updated everyday by others.

after 14 months of waiting....we finally got the best news ever: our case was approved!!!! NOA1 12/23/21
 
hoping everyone else in this group gets approved soon - we've waited long enough. thank you to everyone who took the time to provide the data and analysis - it's helped keep me sane throughout this process. Now...we wait for the NVC > Embassy timeline to start!
 

Yes, there are 2 types of requests for evidence. One is the RFE, for "additional" information, the other as you noticed is the RFIE, which pertains to the initial packet of information you sent. Possibly a missed question, document or signature, usually nothing substantial.

Interesting Development this weekend ...
Nov 30, 2021 has seen an RFE issued
Nov 30, 2021 had anouther case status I had not trapped on before   
     "Notice Explaining USCIS Actions Was Mailed" (image attached)
 
What does this mean for Dec filers?  Well, they opened two cases in the same week as Dec 1-3
That suggests the leading edge of cases will open further into this week between M-F
Though, If the last week was any indication it would also suggest that it focuses on Nov 29-30 for nearly all of it
So "Maybe" by the end of the week we see Dec cases actually starting in small volume ... 
if not, then the week after for sure.
 
 

I saw that as well. Pretty disappointing if you ask me. I'm an analytics guy, so I follow your data pretty closely, we're actually the same NOA1 date too. I was excited to see you posting the same data in that group that you do here, as my fiance can follow it that way as well. Facebook groups, even support groups, all find their way to being toxic eventually, and are only a means to an end for me, but apart from real data from guys like you, it's a lot of whining (no offense meant to anyone) about the processing times and emotional "support" if you can call it that. We're all in this boat together, for better or worse (no pun intended, lol) and REAL processing data is the only way to actually feel slightly better about the shituation we've found ourselves in. From 7 to 15.5 months processing times is an absolute joke, but we suffer the same, unfortunately. I guess everyone just does what they need to to bide their time and gather as much support, emotional or otherwise, as they can. Thank you for everything you've done to help me bide my time in my own way.
