Just wanted to let everyone know that I had my AOS (through marriage) interview in Chicago on February 10. It went really well. I would say that 80% of the interview was when the IO went through my I-

@GPack! - great news on your interview being scheduled! It looks like current processing time estimates are 12-26.5 months... Do you have any idea what they were before the pandemic?

 

Washington DC is historically VERY slow, but we are also showing 12-26.5 months and I'm not sure if there's any hope for me to get an interview some time in the next 3 months (I'm a May 2020 filer...).

Team - Just wanted to post an update for your reference and if anyone is interested in San Antonio's LFO processing timelines:

 

02/13 - PD for AOS of i130/i485 concurrent filing 

08/28 - Notice received for Biometrics 

09/02 - Biometrics appointment and fingerprints applied

09/10 - Received EAD and i485 Status changed to "Ready to Schedule"

12/01 - Case status changed to "Interview was scheduled"

 

Question: How long does it usually take from online update of "Interview was scheduled" to actually receive the notice by mail. It's been >5 days and I am starting to get anxious.

I'm not completely sure of what the average processing times were before but around 8 months (of minimum) on average for the whole process

That's super bizarre -- I received a duplicate for my I-131 as well, and got no updates after I went and gave the second set. The people at the ASC were also unsure of whether or not it was required but decided to process them anyways because "better to be safe than sorry".

 

Maybe go to the ASC on your appointment day and explain? If it's not too far out of your way, I mean :)

Yes call them. I received biometrics notice for I-131 about 3 months after I received my combo card and I had to drive two hours to get only one fingerprint so I felt it was a waste of time especially that I have got my green card less than a month after I went. It was most likely sent on error but make sure that you contact them and explain the situation.

So question to all Feb or prior to March 31 filers. If we submitted  I-693 medical record form in Feb, do we need to re-submit vaccination assessment as Flu shot is no longer valid (flu season Oct 1 - March 31)?

Hi all! :)

 

I know many of us Feb filers from this thread have moved on with the process, but I just wanted to wish everyone still waiting a very happy Monday. Hopefully it's a good week and we hear some news! ❤️

Hi to all!

My question is still the same because sometimes it gets lost easily.

Anyone is from Phoenix still waiting for the Interview? A friend of mine and his wife filed in February 20, she had her Biometrics on August 20 and got her EAD card on August 28. Her case is Ready to be scheduled since September 1st. I know this message can be there for months (for me it was there for 9 months) but I'm curious if there's someone from Phoenix who has new update?

To make your friend feels better, my mom's green card status has been Ready to be scheduled since April and still not changed. She did get her EAD/travel combo card in the summer and we are in NY.
