AOS interview scheduled before EAD update

[Mat19 5]

Morning everyone

 

I had an appointment to give my biometrics on Monday. I had assumed that the next step in the process was receiving an update about my EAD but I received a case status update last night telling me that I’m going to be scheduled for an interview.

Does this happen often? I’m really eager to start working here but I’d just appreciate some clarification. 
 

Thanks!

Not unusual. I didn't get an update on my EAD case after biometrics until I had my green card in-hand for over a month.

 

But is your status 'ready to be scheduled for an interview' or more like 'interview has been scheduled'?

 

If it's the former, expect a long wait where you may indeed yet get an EAD/AP update before it changes to 'interview has been scheduled'. This status just means you're in the queue at your local office and you don't actually have an interview yet. 

 

If it's the 'interview has been scheduled' status, congrats, you have a very speedy local field office

Ahhh this clears it up for me!

 

It does indeed say case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. I won’t need to mailbox watch for the time being then
