When you do get the interview date - as stated above - it would not be advisable to attempt to change it - best to make whatever changes are necessary to any personal schedules first.

Interview may or may not be scheduled.

as a K-3 your chances of an interview are near 100%

so i have to set for an interview , but I'm here in California , the nearest field office is in San francisco 5 hours away , Because my wife goes to school here but we are going back to Seattle late december , so we will change address and they will change interview date by then , thats what the lawyer said

Never know - might change it, might not all really depends on when you move and when the interview gets scheduled.

we are moving back to a different state by the end of december so they will change the interview date it might be delayed for a month or two but thats fine i guess.

But you think i will have an interview 100 % ?

despite i know a friend who got the GC from k3 visa without any interviews

[Otto 83]

No one here can tell you for sure one way or the other - expect an interview and be pleasantly surprised if you don't get one.

near a 100% but not 100%...

recently they have been transferring more and more K-3 AOS application to CSC in an attempt to approve without interview... it is a recent change and may be more as time goes on

yes i guess thats it but when do you normally know your interview date?

yes i guess thats it but when do you normally know your interview date?

they send you an appointment letter

When you file AOS, the next step will be a biometrics appointment (have you had that yet?) - that typically comes fairly soon after you first file (maybe a month or so after). After that, you are in line for processing - that can take a couple of months or it could take a year (that's how long it could take for you to get the interview scheduled).

See link below for average processing times:
