Called the 800 USCIS number and they weren't able to tell me anything and only saw what I saw on the USCIS website.

Scheduled an INFOPass, and that proved to be a complete waste of time.

So now, it's just a matter of waiting.

wow...

Ok, so we are at Tampa field office. Sent the papers for AOS in march, the biometrics fee was missing, so they received it in May. Went for biometrics a couple weeks later. In June we receive a letter stating that we qualify for a waiver on the interview, but they aplogize because it will take 8-9 months more to have the green card... That take us to december/january next year! I think it's crazy that it takes so long, and i can visit my family and friends for another year or go on the honey moon we have planned for so long!

It appears the Tampa office is really backed up. They have just updated their processing times on the USCIS website, and it looks like as of 31 August they had only just processed AOS for those who had filed in January.

My AOS case reached them in July. I have been in "scheduling status" for a while now. I guess this means that if they continue at that rate, mine won't processed until January/February.

Just a quick update: my wife and I attended our interview at Tampa on 8 January. It all went very well and we were done within about 25 minutes of arrival. The officer was warm and friendly. He said that because the application file was comprehensive and complete, he had no concerns and was happy to approve on the spot.

He checked our identity documents (birth certificate, passport etc), had us both sign some forms, and gave me a letter confirming I was now a LPR. My status online was changed to card production that evening, and the green card itself should arrive in the mail within a couple of weeks.
