So glad, I came across this forum. Gave me an idea to look at US consulate Sydney FB page and found their updates regarding interview schedule. I’m in the IR 1 category. Priority date June 2021. Just got documentarily qualified yesterday.

According to this page, the consulate is already up to Doing interviews for June 2022 NVC documentarily complete IR visa applicants compared to a month ago where they were doing the same interviews for January 2022 applicants. Hoping this trend continues. Fingers crossed!
