Th  i'm here as well; October 2019 filer. The waiting continues.

The trends i've noticed in other forums seems they are scheduling July & August 2019 filers in Dallas field office. But they are stupendously SLOW.

Any updates on which month filers are being scheduled for interviews now? Have there been any updates on your case or is it still awaiting interview to be scheduled?

I see some Aug and Sep filers approved on Visajourney timeline. But they may be employment based approvals. My status is still in Case transferred to NBC since Jan 2020. Fingers crossed 🤞

Read in some other forum that USCIS online updates system is buggy these days. They said for a similar situation, case was approved! Did you check on egov as well as myuscis sites? Also reach out to Emma agent as this might mean approval.

Also are they still doing approvals without interviews? I thought it was a thing that they did only when the offices were closed and now that they are open, they don’t need to do it anymore.

ive seen it happen for AOS based on employment mostly too when the officer were closed

I am not sure about Dallas FO and specifically family based cases. But few employment based applicants are still reporting GC arrival without interviews. So maybe there’s still hope 🤞

Awesome! Glad to hear you got scheduled.

 

I applied around the same time as you so hopefully it means they're scheduling applications from December now. 🤞
