Am i wrong in my observation that those who have been approved first had interviews in earlier parts of their visa/greencard process. I think it has been talked about before, is that the reason some get approved faster than others or is it entirely random!

We did not have any interviews during this journey. I am wondering if it's got to do with the local USCIS office. It would be interested to know how many of those who got approved has a spouse in the Military service.
