Hey, me three! I got my testing and interview email as well. USCIS must be on a roll.

I think the amount of time till interview depends on your local office. I checked a few other timelines and it seems to range a bit from 5-8 weeks between notification and the actual interview. It's exciting, though!

Guys l received an email notification this morning exactly a week after l had my biometrics done, l am beyond disbelief! How can this happen so fast even before EAD?

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview

Your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS is now ready for interview scheduling. When scheduling is complete, you will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview. If your application remains pending beyond our normal processing times (as shown below) please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Please note that not every application/applicant will require an interview. In some instances, an interview is required by regulation and others an interview is requested because USCIS has determined that this is the most efficient means to determine eligibility. For a naturalization application the interview will include your taking the required English and/or Civics tests (unless exempt or waived).

That is silly. Are they going to fingerprint him, too? I don't imagine the prints will match up in a few months. :\

Btw, do you know if you keep checking the interview website, appointments often open up last minute. I remember last year they would always suddenly have openings on a Friday, at least in Montreal.

My good news, if we can call it that, is that I just got an email saying my I-485 is now in Request for Evidence Response Review. This is good because it means we didn't mess up the package, so they were able to figure it out and file it correctly :lol:

But it's only been a week since biometrics, so I guess I'll be getting other updates in a little while too :D I'm happy for all of you, it seems USCIS is moving pretty fast these days.

I'll have to keep checking the interview schedule - my renewal interview isn't until December also. Not the same date of course. I'll have my baby at my interview, in my dreams they'd just do his too then. I expect they will finger print him. Seems silly, just like the height/weight and hair/eye colour was for his passport. It likely won't stay the same...

Wait, did I read that right? They want to interview a BABY?! How old is he/will he be? I thought there was a minimum and maximum age for biometrics to be required... and the baby should have his status adjusted through you and that's that! Weird!

Sorry GurkenSalat, we're not talking about fingerprints for the immigration process. We're talking about a special permit to pass between US and Canada (NEXUS). I hope USCIS doesn't interview babies...

Oh I misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying! I don't know anything about NEXUS ^^
