Is there anyone in this September filers forum who is Adjusting Status from an F-1 (or any student visa) and has received their interview date?

I wrote a full detailed account of our AOS process, timeline, AP use, and interview on my blog. You can read it here.

Everything matches except the fact that I'm still waiting for an interview...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm an early October filer from F-1 and still waiting for my interview date. Luckily, I have the EAD/AP...

My status has read, "Ready to be scheduled for interview" since November 10, 2015. :/

Arite bud! Good luck to you. I have been keeping tabs on NYC filers. Currently, I have seen few of them who filed back in July 2015/ early august get theirs dates. I don't know how things are moving in Boston.

@scendere, so you're on F-1 too and waiting for interview date like me...when was your I-485 case status marked as, "Case Ready to be Scheduled for Interview" on the USCIS website? Mine has said that since November 10th.

I wrote a full detailed account of our AOS process, timeline, AP use, and interview on my blog. You can read it here.

Yes, our timelines are similar indeed! Looks like you've got your IL not so long ago, that makes me hopeful. Thank you!

Mine is pending since mid-October :clock:

I wouldn't trust the online status update at all. I just received my interview letter, and the online status still has not changed since July 2015... mine still says RFE received. I also didn't receive any emails or texts of course, so only the actual letter.

So just keep checking your mailbox! :) I filed in June, got RFE and responded in July, Just got my interview notice on Feb 11 for March. But it completely depends on the field office you belong to, mine says it's processing July 6, my RFE was received July 15 and original package was received June 26th!

Good Luck!
