Holla Holla VJ'ers!!

Firstly, beautiful grateful thanking song to all the awesome members here who make this site even more awesomeesst!!!!:)This magical site has helped me and my spouse to ease our journey with sparkle:)

My really short timeline: (kinda weird)

May 2nd: Received I 130/485/765/131 at the chicago mailbox

May 7th: NOA1 for all my 4 applications

June 7th: Biometrics Done:)

June 13th: I 485 status changed to Testing and Interview. What NOW? All other application in initial review.

I am really confused with this status. Isnt too soon for me to get an interview date? It says that an interview date and location will be mailed to us. How long till we get the hardcopy in the mail?My field office will be philadelphia!Any philly members going through the same scenarios!!

The processing time frames in the USCIS website have not been changed for a long time.It still shows Nov 4 2012. Will it be another 4 weeks or more till my interview?any light on this subject will be highly appreciated!!!

Thank you guys!!lets keep that immigration-anxiety madness in some check;)

your testing and interview is not too soon at all. i did my biometrics around the 17th day from the day i submitted my form and within 2 weeks it changed to testing and interview, thats exactly a month so i think yours is just normal and nothing to worry about. as per your EAD and others, mine still remain on intial review and it till be like for a little while longer, except if u get an RFE. but since you are on testing and interview, u might get an interview date within 2 weeks time. it might be longer if you are from New york. best of luck

Thank you!:) So do you think i can still get an RFE for I 485 if the status has gone to testing and interview? I was kinda mentally prepared to receive the EAD and slowly progress towards greencard interview but this status came as such a nice shock:) I first thought the status would have been a mistake.

Do you know how long till i get the interview notice in the mail?

RFE can come at anytime, am not saying you will get but i have seen people getting RFE even shortly before the interview, obviously the earlier the better, luckily for me i didnt get any RFE and am praying for none because i have 25days more to go before my interview. i would suggest your interview letter coming between now and 14days, if you are lucky it might come before then. i have seen people getting their interview within a week after testing and interview. as per the EAD i think you should be looking at between 65days to 90days from the day u submit your form and that's provided u didnt get any RFE. sometimes the RFE might be something u have submitted previously may be they misplaced it. anyway, it is well

No worries, that is normal. We had similar case too. We sent it in on September 3rd, then biometrics was done by September 26 or 27 (can't remember) got the interview notice on the second week of October, and got GC in November. That is how it should be if:

1. there's no RFE

2. your homecountry is fast and efficient to provide the necessary background check (if they do it- I am not sure)

3. no red flags anywhere in your application

And if this is how you'll go, you'll end up like us, waited longer in the waiting room (10 minutes) than the actual interview lasted (5 minutes) and approved on the spot. That night, internet was showing the approval and in a week the GC was in the mail. :)

Good luck to ya!
