Most of you are probably aware that there is a place on USCIS website where you can get info on USCIS Processing Times.

This website shows (for each field office) the filing date for last case completed.

I just did a little checking and noticed this:

For Houston, it shows 7 July 2014 as filing date for last case completed. Doesn't sound too promising.

However, here is some more info.

First, the website has not been updated since 31 January 2015. Apparently the update guy/gal is on vacation.

But looking at Pittsburgh, the last update was also 31 January 2015, so apparently the guy/gal there is on vacation with the Houston guy/gal.

Updating the Houston schedule for end of March (2 months) might say something like: Last case completed was filed 7 September 2014.

Second, we know that our member Obanla has his interview scheduled for 22 April 2015.

And we know that in many cases, approval is granted on-the-spot or within a few days thereafter.

Now, let's update the Houston site again for end of April, and it might say that last case completed was filed 7 October 2014.

But, as we hope for Obanla, his case will be approved and completed by the end of April, compared to his filing date of early February 2015.

Conclusion: It seems unlikely that the last case completed for Houston office was really one that was filed on 7 July, 7 September or 7 October of 2014.

Actually let me rephrase- I didn't get a text. I had downloaded the USCIS appt and IT notified me. I went to the website but I didn't see a date or time. Perhaps I have to wait on the letter for that or I will get email/text later on today? Not sure but I am soooo glad my case is moving along!!!

Navarez. That's great you are ready for interview.

Let me ask you something.

Between Biometrics appointment and this notification Nothing happened to your case? Notifications about something, updates, something else???

You just waited about 30 days and now your case is ready for interview?

You should receive EAD/AP in 15 days according to the timelines :)

I did my biometrics 5 days ago.

PD. What app you have downloaded? USCIS has no official apps, right?

No nothing happened- no updates or notifications since my Walk-in on 2/25 (Letter rec'vd 2/24).

I hope you are right on my EAD/AP because I bought my flight tickets for Mexico scheduled 4/17 and my EAD expires 5/17 sooo def. crossing fingers!

I downloaded "USCIS Case Status Notifier">> Not an official app but its the same app I used when I applied for DACA and it was the first line of service that notified me so i really do trust it. I also used it for my mom a few months ago. OH the waiting....lol
