Same here. I'm still waiting for an interview.. The last interview that I know of was scheduled this week for someone whose PD is June 16th. So based on that info, they're a month behind... Have you sent your EAD renewals?

We just did our medical exam again. Hopefully the interviews will be scheduled for late Aug or early Sept. Last I checked with our congressman office, the file is with Houston field office and waiting to schedule. I asked them update us again.

We probably will wait for the interview letter before we do the EAD/AP renewal since our EAD will not expire until late Oct.

What I would like to know, where is our cases?  In the Houston office? or somewhere else waiting to be sent to Houston office?

 

As long ago as we all filed, IF there was a RFE involved, we would of heard by now? Right?

We are getting ready to renew ours and send papers late next month, that is around 90 days before expiring.

We are a Jan 2017 AOS filer from out of Houston.  From a k1.   I noticed its taking like 13 months or so to schedule interviews for aos out of Houston.   Really backed up.    I created a facebook group for those of us in Houston, Dallas, Harlingen, El Paso going through AOS.  If you want to join there it would be really helpful to post timelines and recent updates.  Best Wishes!

Any August filers get an interview notice yet? As of May 31, 2017 they were processing July 10, 2016 files. By all accounts August files should be processed by now and yet no interview notice. The online case status says that "interview is ready to be scheduled as of October 28, 2016". 

 

Waiting sucks.

Went to the interviews today with my wife and son. I'm the USC petitioner. Each of them has their own interview time but we all got called in at the same time. The interviews were scheduled for 8am and 8.45am respectively. We got called around 8.15am. The officer was very thorough, asked many questions to check with that we filed on the applications.

We submitted the new medical exam, new tax returns, pay stubs, pictures. She said it will be approved and get our cards soon.

The interview was done by 9.20am. On our way home, got email/text notification that card for my son has been ordered. Has not received notice for my wife card yet.
