I think it's normal.

our AOS took only 92 days to be completely approved.

Obanla asked if what is happening with his case is 'normal.'

It is by no means normal. Citing that your case only took 92 days does not mean your case is normal or that his is normal.

The normal seems to be 5-6 months. I have only seen less than 5 cases where green card received in 3 months or less, not counting some where active military person was involved.

And for every case less than 5-6 months, there are are dozens more that drag on for 8 months or more.

And, even more abnormal is getting an interview date without ever having been put in category of 'ready for interview.'

Note: Not at all trying to rain on Obanla's parade, and wish him the best; but let's not think this is 'normal.'

3-4 months was our expectation since we carefully gathered and prepared all the forms, every supporting documents, evidences.

My point of saying "it's normal" here is that: there is nothing to worry about if you get an interview date after less than 90 days.

Maybe their case is simple, or it's just luck, or whatever who clearly knows how USCIS works.

One more thing, you've only seen few cases with fast processing time, doesn't mean those cases are minority of all the cases handled by USCIS.

Most all of the people who are still waiting after 8 months or so also carefully gathered and prepared all forms, etc.

Yes, it's true that those who post here on VJ are perhaps only a small subset of those who are going through AOS.

But, there is no reason to believe that our experiences are not a good representation of what all AOSs are experiencing.

So, I believe my statement that getting a Green Card in less than 90 days is a rarity, holds true for all persons that are going through the AOS process, whether they are active posters here or not.
