AOS case is ready to be scheduled already?

[AtlantaFalcons199 2]

I just filed my AOS with my wife for k1, and the USCIS already says the case is ready to be scheduled for an interview after a month. How long is the wait for them to send out a date for the interview? am i almost done with the adjustment of status at this point?

i filed it in early august

Did you have your biometrics appointment yet? If so you are lucky. Most people take 12-17 months. If you haven’t I’m afraid it may be a glitch in their system.

Lucky.

"Ready to be Scheduled" doesn't necessarily mean one will be scheduled immediately. Some people continue to wait a few months after it changes to that - it's typical after you've completed your biometrics. However, once the status changes to "Interview Has Been Scheduled", you should expect your interview summons in the mail within a few days.

How far out do they typically schedule them?  Ours is in the mail but I'm pretty surprised at how fast it happened after the biometrics appointment

Once the interview has been scheduled, it seems like they're usually scheduled about a month out. In our experience, the case status online changed to "Interview Scheduled" on 8/11, and we got the letter in the mail 8/16. The interview is on 9/18.

 

It happens! It really comes down to your area/field office, as some offices are slower than others with production.

Yeah, sometimes you get lucky. Check my timeline in my sig below. Our package was received on June 1 this year, July 9 was the biometrics, and on Sept. 10 we had our interview and were approved, and the card is now in the mail. Total time only a little over 3 months. Others take more than a year. I assume it depends on the office you're dealing with, and how backed up they are.

We went from biometrics to "ready to be scheduled" in four days time so we hoped it would move quickly. We have been sitting at "ready to be scheduled" since May...

We have been "ready to be scheduled" since mid-August.  Not expecting any change in that status with the Baltimore office until 2019.

Why do you think it will take that long? I am in MD too and really hoped things will move a little faster for us here... Where are you checking the local office est timelines and backlogs? Thanks!

There's a link (I don't have it at the moment) that gives estimates for each field office.  Baltimore was at 11.5 months.  However, since I wrote that post,  our interview was scheduled for October 23.  I can't believe we got an interview so quickly and I hope its a good sign for everyone else going through Baltimore.

Here's the link to USCIS estimates I mentioned -

Hopefully those times are coming way down soon.
