it's very discouraging.

Yes, back logged it is. The NBC is trying to get new I800a cases through in 90 days, but our (a couple of glitches along the way) took 127 days before we got our 797c! The biggest issue for us - beside the back log, was that our HS had to be revised 2x for revisions. It is very very frustrating. Now we have to get a re-issue of our marriage cert and police clearances because they were dated/certified over 6 months ago. No one knew when we started that it would take 100+ days to get our 797. Prayers for a quick 797 turnaround for you!
