There really is no rhyme or reason to it. My 4 month old son has been waiting 3 months. There's literally nothing for them to research. A 4 month old American baby with parents who have been here for generations.

Well FINALLY my wife was conditionally approved after waiting 6 1/2 months. It is highly notable that the timing of the approval probably coincided almost exactly with an airline submitting her APIS information for a flight returning to the US.

Funny enough I was also approved overnight. 6.5 months of waiting finally finished

Well, here goes yet another scenario where one is a sprint and the other is a marathon...
ME
Applied: 05/20/22
CA: xx/xx/xx (125 days so far (4 months, 0 weeks, 2 days))
Interview: xx/xx/xx
Final Approval: xx/xx/xx
WIFE
Applied: 05/20/22 (a few minutes after I did mine)
CA: 05/22/22 (2 days)
Interview: 09/20/22 (123 days)
Final Approval: 09/20/22 (123 days)
Keeping that hope alive that I'll log in and see that green check mark beside my Conditional Approval. Once that happens then I'll shoot for getting my wife's interview a little closer (IF mine is even approved by then)

Almost can't believe I'm making this post, but I have just been conditionally approved. Scheduled for the first available appointment at home for now... in April 2023 😂 Will hopefully be able to snag one before the holidays so I can make use of it all when returning home after Christmas.
Some comments: LPR, EU citizen, briefly overstayed ESTA before filing for immigration benefits due to marriage (all disclosed within the app of course), somewhat spicy travel history. Not all is lost I guess.
Applied: 04/27/22
CA: 09/29/22 (155 days)
Interview: 04/13/23
Final Approval: N/A

Here is the application information for my son, who is 12:
Applied: 10/10/2022
CA: 10/12/2022
Interview: TBD
Final Approval: TBD
We are lucky to live in Minnesota so can easily drive to one of the border crossings to do the interview so I am not too worried about scheduling. When we get some free time and feel like making the 11+ hour round trip drive, I'll schedule it. In the meantime, I will keep checking to see if any appointments open up at MSP and worst case scenario is that he can do his interview on arrival when we come back into the country after spring break.
