Thank you so much again! 

Hi guys, 
 
I wanted to share my timeline with you. I filed the adjustment of status documents on December 3, 2020 and we received a couple of weeks later notices of receipt. At around May 2020, I received my I-693 deficiency notice. At the end of June, I got my biometrics appointment for West Palm Beach. Now yesterday we got the notice for an initial interview for form I-485 with the list of documents etc to bring for end of August. This is quite surprising. I thought that it takes ages to get interview invitations and we would get the EAD first, but it must be that West Palm Beach is less busy perhaps  or quicker at processing files (compared e.g. to Seattle/NY)? 
 
We have friends in California who were going through a similar process and they are now waiting for over 2 years for their interview (their USCIS case status says that the case is ready for interview to be scheduled)- their application was filed before the pandemic, but the offices probably shut right before they got the chance to be invited for the interview. 
 
I now need to get my medical exam done asap and compile again all the documents. 
 
I can see that a number of you have had their interviews scheduled for 5th August - how did it go? 
 
Would appreciate for any thoughts on the interview etc. 

Best of luck to you! Everything will go well - it's just being prepared and not worrying too much. Look forward to hearing how it all goes.
