My parents got DQ on Jan 4, 2022 IR5 category. It's been 8 months and still no interview letter for Mumbai consulate. At the same time I am seeing in forums people are reporting getting IL for IR5 who got DQ in March and April 2022.
This is ridiculous! There is no response from NVC, I even contacted them via 'Ask the NVC' website and received a canned/scripted response which was no help.
