Don't trust their timeframe, it does not mean your case will be processed when your PD beyond the point. I have sent an email to Houston office to ask about why many cases are outside of the current

Any news from anyone in Houston recently? We applied early March 2016, and still nothing. 13 months now. We had to sent new EAD and Advance parole forms since the old ones are expiring in a week.

Around 12-13 months so you are looking at Feb-Mar 2018 for interview. I'm a July 2016 filer and have not received anything yet.

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well.

After 3 service requests, my case status is still at ready to schedule for interview. I called the USCIS customer service this morning and the guy told me that seems like the Houston field office is processing the cases from December 2015, so my case is definitely outside of normal processing time (filed 11/5/2015). He said that I could make an info pass appointment at the Houston office. I checked and there is nothing available for the next two weeks. I'm so frustrated. It's been too long. Does info pass appointment even help? What else can I do besides waiting... :crying:

Hello Houston Filers,

I have married to US Citizen in May and filed our case mid July 2016. My question is about the RFE review. The status says for I485 at RFE review for 30 days now, is it normal? Doesn't it should switch to ready for interview?

Thank you

I wouldn't be too worried at this point. There are people on this forum who filed back in October/November 2016 who haven't even been scheduled for an interview yet (like myself), so I doubt they'll have done much for you as you just filed recently. Good luck!

October 7, 2015: Sent AOS Pack
October 15, 2015: NOA1
October 29, 2015: RFE (due to wanting more info regarding tax returns)
November 5, 2015: Biometrics taken
November 17, 2015: RFE Response Received by USCIS
November 23, 2015: Filed for Expedite EAD/AP
December 2, 2016: Approved EAD/AP
December 8, 2015: Received EAD/AP
Sept 26, 2016: USCIS received renewal for EAD/AP

Oct 19, 2016: Interview scheduled for Nov 22, 2016

Nov 22, 2016: Interview - went well but RFE for an updated medical I-693

Dec 1, 2016: USCIS received the new medical I-693

Hey, so I know you posted that about a month ago, but from the USCIS processing times site, the customer service rep was probably off by about 2 months. I'm still waiting to hear anything from my application (recieved in Oct 2015, RFE request completed Nov 17). I've put in a case inquiry as well as contacted my Congressman (House of Representatives), but both of those said I should hear by the end of this month (October) and that if I didn't then I should contact them again...

The last response I received from my service request was on 9/13 (see below):

"Our review indicates that this case is actually within our current processing time. We regret any misunderstanding. If you do not receive a decision or notice of other action within our current processing time, check our website for an update or call customer service at the number provided below.

USCIS systems indicate that your case is awaiting an interview. Your local USCIS Field Office will contact you once they are able to schedule the appointment. Should you not be contacted by your local USCIS Field Office within 90 days of this notice, please contact customer service at the number provided below."
I haven't contacted anyone since then. I kept checking the info pass appointments but nothing seems to be open. I honestly think that I'm just going to sit back and wait. Our 2nd anniversary is 3/11/2017, I'm actually kinda hoping we won't get the interview until that day...lol so that we won't have to go through the removing of condition. But then again I've heard many stories of people getting their interviews right before their 2nd anniversary. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened to me....

Wow

I filed for my wife on March 9th. I was getting worried about the amount of time it's taking but after seeing here that there are people from Oct & Nov 2015 who haven't gotten an interview I guess it's safe to say that it's still going to be a few more months until we hear anything.
