Today officially starts month 5 of the AOS wait. My wife and I were hoping this process would have been faster than the K1 process (6.5 months) but we are not holding our breath :wacko: . At least she got her EAD. Good luck all March filers still waiting and everybody else for that matter.

Hello Everyone!!! Got my interview scheduled on OCTOBER 10, 2008 in LA.

That's so cool. Mine is 10 days after you. USCIS still not update online. Mine I-485 last update was 4/2/08 and My wife got an interview letter in mail yesterday.

There is a whole list of documents we need to bring to the interview. I have a question regarding the I-693 (medical). we submitted the I-693A (supplement) when we filed the AOS. Does anyone have to do whole medical again before the interview? We did not have any touch or RFE since BIO.

Thanks in advance.

I think our files may have disappeared into the infamous black hole scientist are always talking about. It would be nice to receive an interview letter soon and forget about the USCIS for awhile :blink:
