today i think i made a mistake on the date, whao so we probably got our notification at the same, am actually thinking may the this is the time their system updates. bcos there wont be anybody in their office at this time. i can see u waited for just 9 days to get a date for ur interview so am also going to wait 9 to 10 days but i stay in houston and am not sure if this is the same everywhere, i learnt new york can take couple of weeks waiting

I agree, I think we did get our notifications at the same time.

We've yet to receive the hard copy with the date. We just received notification via text & email that we are now in the testing & interview stage. So, we don't know when or where we will be interviewed.

One thing we aren't sure of is whether we will be heading to Fresno for the interview or Bakersfield. When we went for Dave's bio appt in Bakersfield, the IO told us that they do interviews once a month (in Bakersfield).

sorry i actually thought u had notification for your interview date but not knowing we are in the same boat. is bakersfield in califonia, and its a bit weird for them to be conducting an interview just once a month. so what exactly do they do for the rest of the time. am not too sure of houston, but am hoping it isnt that bad. i wish u and ur spouse the very best of luck. i think we need to start getting ready for interview, i know its a long way but an early preparation will surely help

Yes, Bakersfield is only 1.5 hours away whereas Fresno is 4 hours away. They only do bio appts at the location we went to. They do interviews and naturalization ceremonies at the civic center once a month.

We/I have been working on the interview binder off and on for the past two weeks. Once we get the hard copy with purinterview date/location I can then chill.

i have a feeling that Dave will get his GC before his EAD though.

Have ya'll started on your binder yet?

am just about to start binding all my documentation together, am trying to have the photocopies on one side and the originals on the other side, am thinking this might make my interview session smoothier. i agree with u, its looking like we are going to get our GC before the EAD unless a miracle happens. i think my interview will be first week in July, this is just a guess and i hope am right. i think June might be too close because they usually give 4 to 5 weeks notice from what ive seen
