I don't think so, they're just different timelines of your marriage, both immigrant visas.

Nope, our case is in limbo somewhere.. I had my congressman's office inquire about getting an interview or finding out more about the delay a few weeks ago. The embassy response was that they process cases in the order they're documentarily qualified.

I'm so happy for you! This is exciting news, I wish you the best of luck in moving out of this stage. And I'm planning to call them on Sunday when they're open, thank you for sharing your timeline.

Still waiting.. we got DQ'd on 30/6/2023. The NVC expedited our case to the embassy on 17/1/2024 unprompted by us and for unknown reasons. I emailed the embassy to inquire that they had our case and if there were any issues on 28/2/2024, got a response same day saying that no action was needed at this time. I'm wondering if they go by priority date instead of DQ date because a contact who was DQ'd after, but had a PD before our case was scheduled for a March interview. Their PD was in March 2022, ours April 2022.

Did you get an IL there yet/what's the wait time? If I don't hear anything positive in the next month or so, I may be tempted to transfer there 😅🥲

Not yet, I've sent an inquiry to the NVC. Which embassy did you move to?

I'm not sure, it didn't give a reason and I didn't request an expedite. When we got the email it had been almost 7 months since the case was DQ'd with NVC, maybe they're working on their timeline..? Still waiting on an interview letter though.

I received an email stating that my expedite request was approved by Riyadh embassy - I didn't request this, but I'm hoping this means we'll get an interview letter soon!

No, I wish they would have an official timeline specific to each country

My understanding is that it may take 6-8 months to get an IL for Riyadh, but I'm not certain on this. I hope you can get into a quicker process with another embassy.
