USCIS to NVC took just over a year. Now we are facing a backlog at the Embassy.
We got approved in January 2021 and then we submitted all required documentation to the embassy ( in Nigeria) In April, I received a mail from the NVC saying that my case was 'documentarily complete' and that the embassy will schedule a visa interview. Several months later, we are still waiting for the interview. Information that I got from the lawyer handling my case is that there's a backlog at the embassy due to COVID-19, so they are not operating at full capacity. Also, the immigration ban that was placed on Nigeria in 2020 could be a factor. It will be good to know if there are other people in the same boat.

Based on information from some of my friends in the same boat, it looks like it takes approximately 10 months from the date that you are ‘documentarily complete’ at NVC before the actual interview. My hypothesis is based on consular processing in Nigeria. I have received 3 emails too but I am hoping that they won’t send more than one additional email before our interview is scheduled.
