Timeline for interview, i131

[cmh 6]

We received a notice late December that USCIS is ready to schedule an interview. When should we expect an update? My wife is also thinking of traveling out before the interview. To confirm, is it just the i131 she needs to complete? What is the processing time?

The interview scheduled can take anything from a few weeks to over a year.

 

When you file for AOS you also file for i-765 and i-131. They currently take about 5-7 months to get approved.

When you will be interviewed depends on your local field office. That status does not mean much other than its reached your LFO. An interview could take months or years depending on what your LFO is.

AP takes 4 to 6 months currently, closer to the 6 month mark. She would need to be approved for the AP before she could hope to leave and come back. I131 is the form. You did not file it with your AOS application?

Years? Wow. We didn’t include i131.

Yes years. You should play with the USCIS processing times website and see how long it takes in busier hubs.

If she wants to leave (and come back to the US) before her GC is approved you will probably want to apply for AP in the mean time. It will take 4 to 6 months and I highly doubt your GC will be here faster than that but again, i can make no estimates without knowing your LFO (had you told me, I would have looked). Link's up there for you now though. I'll let you interprete.
