HI, I filed a concurent application for an I-130 and I-485 based on a USC spouse. I filed this on September 20, I had the biometrics apointment on October 21 and I just received in the mail an interview notice for January 13. This is for the New York City office which is currently processing I-485 from April !!!!

How come I got my interview so soon? Is it a reason to worry that there is a big problem?? I didn't even get my AP and EAD card yet.

Another strange thing is that I didn't recieve an email ot text about the intereview. just the letter.

Thanks for the help!!

You are lucky... I would not be worried... just gather all your documentation and get ready... I have seen people get their GC before their EAD and AP... some people get it within days of each other.... no biggie... good luck!!

Our situation is similar to yours. Our app was accepted on September 9 and I believe bio metrics on October 15...we haven't received our appointment letter although we did get the email and text update for Interview. Processed through NBC and local office in Houston. Also we have not received the EAD. Congrats on the progress..I pray this continues on to more of our VJ' ers

You should not worry at all. In our situation we mailed stuff at the time on September 9 and then had interview on November 3rd and was approved on the spot and had our green cards a week after the interview date. Some cases are faster, others are slower. I would not worry in your case, but up to you if you like to worry over Christmas then have it. :) Good luck for your interview!

They've actually hired someone in the nyc office who actually know what they're doing.

We had to reschedule our interview and was told "at least 5 months for new appointment". It took them three. And then they said "at least two months to get green card" (we were approved on the spot) and it took them about a week to send it to us. We expected something far worse than this, haha!
