Straight from WP admissions:

As far as the interview - even if you had a SLS interview you may have a MALO/FFR interview too. You will notice on the checklist from the site listed above, that an interview is not even mentioned.
An interview is not required.
Why?
Because there are not enough MALOs/FFRs to interview every candidate.
BillSL may fall in that category, being an overseas candidate.
We have enough FFRs in our state to conduct interviews, but we usually only interview the competitive candidates.
I agree with Ken2012, the wait is the hard part and what makes the process so long.
You could have your app finished right now and not hear whether or not you have an appt until March/April. That's a long time!
If you have any DoDMERB issue, that is a common reason as to why the process drags on.
If you are put on the NWL, that prolongs the wait.
The wait can be excruciating. Been there-done that.
DS had a LOA and Nom early Fall BUT had 2 DoDMERB DQs. The 2 medical waivers didn't come until the end of April and the appointment soon after. He had his DoDMERB exams in July. That's why we emphasize to get your DoDMERB exam done ASAP.
DQs can sometimes take a long time to get waived.
Lots of waiting for most candidates.
It's the proverbial 'hurry up and wait'.
