Sooo we just got a case status update.  It says our interview was scheduled.  Considering we sent the packet at the end of July and did fingerprints 3 weeks ago, this seems way too fast doesn't it?  It just changed 2 days ago from 'interview ready to be scheduled'.  Could this be a red flag since it is so much faster than normal?

No. If you have read this entire thread you would know that others have also had their interviews scheduled.  It depends on your local office.  Your office likely doesn't have a back log.

Sorry I haven't been checking the thread recently.  I figured none of this would happen for at least a few months so I didn't want to drive myself crazy checking all the time like I did with the K1

Update your timeline
No one even knows what office you are talking about to tell you if you are "special" or if this is normal for ur local office.

As DPP123 said - it's not abnormal (assuming your case office is one of those moving quickly)
Quite some folks in July already have interviews set

It seems like Michigan has a lot of backlog 😢 been waiting for my interview schedule for almost a month now

Actually- not necessarily, am looking at it now. What are you looking at?
Detroit seems pretty good-
I mean it's no Montana or Greer, SC but it's not LA or Houston or some of these Florida places
I think you should be getting ur interview by year end.

Stay patient. It's gonna happen!

To all our Carolina friends on this thread, please stay safe   

Hahaha...we are in Charlotte.

 

Leaving tommorow afternoon to drive southwest out of the affected area...completely out of the State.

Going to Oxford, Alabama...about 1.5 hours west of Atlanta to play in Talladega National Forest...should be sunny all weekend.

Follow-up to North Carolina Motor Vehicle.....

 

we were able to extend Ana's North Carolina ID and continue with driving exam for another 6 months using the i-797 notice from our biometrics appointment.

They extended another 6-months from the notice date.  We had all the i-797's with us (i485, i765,i131) but they used the biometrics notice - which had the latest date anyway.

 

Interestingly, they did not extend from the expiration date on the i94 (which was a september date - they used the August date on the biometrics notice).  

Anyway, that was the decision they made at that DMV office - they had to have a few conversations among several of the officers to make their collective decision.

I'm happy we got it done and Ana can keep testing.

Looking at the estimated time in the uscis website 

i hope so getting tired eating popcorn in the house and watching tv 😢

Man. 

 

I am incredibly happy for those of you who are getting your interview notices. Dallas is backed up OVER a year, so I don't think Andy will see his any time soon.

Actually girl--
that's false- it's about 5-7 months for Dallas.
A march filer @saintike got approved just this past August
And they told me that many of the friends they applied with got approved BEFORE them.

And I've seen about 2 other Dallas folks get approved within that 6 month mark (can't quite remember their names off the top of my head)
I think Dallas is busy but it is def hustling. Don't give up yet!!
U might be hearing by year end or beginning of next year

USCIS estimated time is rubbish
nobody should depend on that
Get out of there. Use VJ folks- that's a bit more useful that whatever USCIS is posting

Whaaaaaat

That's freaking AWESOME. I know we're gonna move next year, but if we do somehow manage to get this done before I would not complain.

 

How is Houston looking?

(also thank you)

We have a thread for Houston- where we all come every week to complain and sip wine. lol

It's not moving whatsoever
We had some folks do infopasses and basically it seems something hit a snag and nothing is moving
Literally EVERY SINGLE VJ folks from April 2017 onward is waiting.
Because Houston is also short staffed. they apparently only have 12? officers??

I think we're all just waiting for mid-elections to pass. Maybe something will get done there. Am not holding my breath
I'll be happy with my 10 year GC card in 2 years and pass ROC. lol
