AOS from K-1 cases don't always get an interview (50/50 chances). If you are scheduled for one, it is usually pretty fast (1-2 months after biometrics). If your case is waived from an interview, then the wait is pretty long (up to a year).

So this is all normal. Nothing else to do than waiting for now.
