Any July filers got interview notice?

Any July filers got interview notice?

nothing here yet. i am early July.

i posted a while ago on this thread. there is a big backlog in the Seattle office. Edie2014, my priority date is also July 2014 and no interview yet. have been inline for interview since August 2014. i had a colleague who had a priority date of May 15 and she got her interview on Dec 16 with her notice around mid Nov. if the gap remains same, it should not be more than a month for July filers. any update from others?

I had a info pass appointment. The staff was extremely courteous and very helpful. They told me that there were a bunch of retirements in June/July time and they just hired 6 people in the last few months. The new people cannot do interviews as the interviewer needs to have at least 1 year experience. The process has slowed down and is currently taking 9 months from start to finish. No estimate on when this backlog would be cleared. They also told me that the scheduling is not done at Seattle as the file is sent to them by another office which could be in Missouri. There probably have been retirements in the departments across the board so no news. They said to continue to check the website.

Hope it helps.

looks like it is taking very long. Before I submitted by application in early July, i had an info pass appointment and there was hardly anybody traffic in the Seattle office. They gentleman I talked to was very nice and told me that the applications are being processed very fast and taking at the most 3 months. I have been waiting for the interview call for about 2 months now. I don't think we can even do an info pass without calling the customer service first. All other processing centers are going pretty fast.
