US Immigration from Australia

Hello Community!

I have a scheduled interview. If my VISA is approved then I will opt to apply for a Re-entry permit for which I would have a limited window, in which I will take leaves from my employer and proceed as follows

1. Make my first entry to the USA
2. File I-131
3. Wait in the USA for my biometrics
4. Return immediately after biometrics to my home country

Now I have the following queries regarding the duration of the Reentry Application:

1. Query 01: What is the Minimum and Maximum duration from filing to Biometrics?
2. Query 02: I have heard the SSN is required for filing the i-131, which will take around 7 to 10 days. To optimize the leave duration can I follow the below technique?
   1. Make First entry and return to my country back making my green card valid for 1 year.
   2. My SSN will have arrived at my residential address in the USA.
   3. Make a Second entry and file i-131 wait for biometrics and return to my home country.
3. Query 03: What is the best time of the year to visit the USA, I believe that in December and January, most of the office staff would be on vacation or holidays may take longer for the application process.
4. Query 04: I can either go to California or Illinois which state is best to apply and get a swift processing.

On Wednesday 4th September I got the alert that I've been waiting for - something's changed on both my cases - N-400 and removal of conditions, so I logged on and saw that both cases were updated to interview has been scheduled.

Fast forward to a week later, no letter in the mail and no notice in the online portal, so I still don't know the date.

Is it normal for a notice to have not been produced after a week? I'm assuming it's going to be the Atlanta office.

Thanks

I am in Perth at the moment waiting for the interview letter at Sydney Embassy. The medical examination facility is not available in my state so I have to go in another state both for my Visa Interview and also my Medical Examination as well.
Having limited leaves from my work is it possible for me that I may schedule my Medical exam either a day before or a day after my Interview date. In this way I have to book only one time return tickets from Perth to Sydney and will complete both process that are my interview and medical examination.

I would be appear for Immigrat Visa Interview.

Your wishes are requested. Thank you.

Hello!

I had my AOS and ROC applications both approved without an interview. Is this the norm, or am I lucky? Or should I be expecting something to change in the future? I saw another post about an interview post approval. I have no problem having one, but I was glad not to. I did front load both applications with A LOT of information. I was expecting a ROC interview due to having it waived when approved for AOS.

Thanks!
