From what I have read, each IO is given 25-30 minutes per case. This includes pre-interview review, interview and post interview adjudication.

Since this is a government job, say 8 am to 4 pm, thats about 8 hours. Lets say they take 1 x 30 minute lunch break and 2 x 15 minute breaks, their work hours would come down to 7 hours day. This calculates to 30 min/case x 7 hours = 14 cases (per day).

When I went to my local USCIS office for INFOPASS appointment at 8am, I saw some people were taken for interviews, just wondering what time the last interview is...lol

And your Point Is?.......!!!!!

I hope the Moderators takes note of time wasting Posts. People visit this site with issues and seek help/information, not to kill time.

Totally uncalled for. If you feel reading it was wasting your time, why are you wasting more time responding?

Suddenly I had something in my mind that

How many people are scheduled to have interviews one day in their local USICS office??

What time is the first and last interview??

Anyone has any ideas? lol

I haven't been trough the interview process yet, but I can understand why random questions pop in our mind. The whole process is stressful and the more you wait, the more you start to wonder about small details.
