Update!! Had my interview today at New Orleans Office at 10:20. Showed up at the place where the interview was scheduled in Metairie( 2424 Edenborn Ave) 10 mins early just to go up to third floor and see that the offices have been moved to Poydras Ave deep in New Orleans. My wife and I jumped in the truck and "rushed" to the new office. Close to the Superdome oh what a joy traffic was. We made it 10 mins after the official time and checked in. We placed appointment letter at window the guard instructed us to. The IO came out shortly (idk how she knew) however she called my name after 2 mins in waiting room. We went in and were sworn in immediately. Here are interview details:

She double checked my answers on my I-485 application. Asking me full name, DOB, address basically everything on the 485 sheet.

She then if that was my signature on the 485. She did that same thing for the 130 for my wife.

She then asked if we had any more documentation showing more commingling however we did not. We had no bills no lease agreement nor insurance policies. We did provide a photo book of us throughout the years.

She asked a few non personal questions: how did we meet? Where did we meet? When did we decide to get married? Who proposed? She then started talking about me being approved for my green card throughout the conversation. She Said my card will be received in 30 days. Told us about the conditional timeline of the green card and when to file update.

We were out in less than 10 mins total from swearing in to leaving out the door. On the way back to our car I received update through email saying case was updated. I am soooooo happy. Waiting on tracking number now and glad this is over in less than 3 months.

Congratulations!!!

Pickle, did you see that they changed the layout on the case status website? And you know what is weird about that??? When I check my receipt for the EAD, it shows that they received august 14th.... before it showed that they received on the 11th....

I just went to check when I read your post--oh my that is quite a change! I am unable to see my case status for the I-485 and I-130. Nothing comes up when I click on those case numbers in my account. However, my EAD and AP says August 21st instead of August 18th like it used to! The August 21st date is actually the "last updated" date in my account. Now they are using it for "case received" date! It is very odd, but I guess we should have expected glitches when they go and change everything... They are buying time indeed.

Ok sorry to stalk in on this thread, but mine is saying the EXACT same thing (I went to Testing and Interview in October, and it says if I haven't received a letter by November 5th to contact them) - but I wasn't expecting an interview letter until December at the earliest, and no interview until maybe... January. I'm wondering if this is a mistake happening for everyone who is in Testing and Interview with no interview scheduled.

I am inclined to think this is a very poor website fluke and am waiting until tomorrow to see if it resolves itself, but let me know if you find out any different.

Totally not stalking :) but it is weird how the site has changed, I sent a notice request even though I was only expecting something in late November early December, will see what they reply.
