Chances of getting an interview before Sep. 30

Hi Mom or anybody who can help, For those of us submitting to the lockbox now, how likely is it that we will get an interview before September 30? Based on the 2021 timeline spreadsheet and other years, it seems like the time between Chicago lockbox submission day and Interview day varies from anywhere between 3 months to 7 months. There is no guarantee of course but would you say it is probable to get an interview now. I am feeling very pessimistic based on the backlog USCIS has. I am wondering if it is worth it to transfer to consular processing. Thank you!
 
If you look at the previous year, there were people, who submitted their documents at the beginning of August and were able to get approved by the end of September. DV cases have a priority and officers are doing their best to process all the DV cases before the end of September.
