I am new to this forum and appreciate all the help. If I am asking something that has already been discussed I apologize but there is so much information here it is hard to read it all.
I am from Canada and recently received my receipt for Form I-751. I have also completed my biometrics. My inquiry is twofold:
1) What is the usual time from receipt of application to time of notice of interview;
2) Does anyone have any odds, assuming the marriage is bona fide and that is evident through supporting documentation, of being approved without having to go to an interview.
Thank you, I look forward to your responses. I have been through the H-1B, F-1, and I-485 procedures so if anyone has any questions about those feel free to ask.

Firstly what does this have to do with "Foreign Embassy and Consulate" ? Shouldn't this post be under "Removing Conditions"?

1) Most have been reporting not having I-751 interviews.
2) Odds are high for approval without interview.

You may or may not be called for an interview after you submit this form. Procedures have been in flux for the past year or so regarding biometrics collections (fingerprints, and photo) and you may get a letter sending you to your DO or ASC for this service--this is not an interview. Simply follow the instructions that YOU receive from USCIS and don't worry too much about other people's situations. Yours is the one that counts for you. If you are selected for an interview, it will be at your local USCIS office, not at the service center. Most typically, you have already had a biometrics appointment before your notice of approval, and your new Green Card will be mailed to you. However, you should follow all directions received from USCIS. I-751 cases are generally completed in 6-12 months, currently

7.7) ..Is there another interview required to lift my conditional status?
A..All though the vast majority of jointly filed I-751s do not have an interview, you may indeed be required to attend an interview. Some files are selected for a sort of quality control check on the system, and may be transferred to the Local Office for interview. These cases may receive an RFE from the local office, and then find that the interview is cancelled. There is also a growing number of people being called for interviews (4/07) and there is a suspicion among the online community that PRs who did not have an AOS interview (via transfer to CSC or via the DORA program) may be automatically put in the interview queue for I-751.
At any rate, there should be no automatic assumption of a problem just because you get an interview letter.

Sorry about the Consulate thing. Like I said, I am new to this. Thanks for the reply.

RFE= Request For Evidences
As for the length of time to process your I-751 it depends.
If you have the bad luck not to be transferred to California Service Center then you will go blind checking and checking on USCIS website for your application to be processed and approved by Nebraska Service Center .They are the worst possible and a lot of us including myself we've been waiting for more then one year
Good luck!
