We're St Paul, MN office, I'm hoping the interview is after mid October now as that's our 2nd anniversary, it'd be nice to get the 10yr green card. But on the other hand I just want it done and over :)

PaddyGirl, we should stay in touch. My husband and I are also mid-March filers (March 11 PD) with St. Paul as our local USCIS office. According to the online processing times, it does look like we're in for a 7+ month wait under "normal" processing times. Le sigh. Our online status has been stuck at "your fingerprint fee has been received" since early April...but I've heard that several others who had that status for several months received their GCs in the mail without interview. Fingers crossed...

Yes they are...

I looked at the AOS statistics for San Francisco office yesterday (here on VJ) and saw that someone has an interview scheduled for the end of September. That person filed for AOS in December 2015.

So we have plenty of time left to wait!

Wonderful....LOL

Thank you :)

Our local is also St Paul. We filed in March, RFE end of April, returned RFE July 8. Now we're stuck on "Response to USCIS' RFE was Received". Hopefully we all start hearing something soon! Best of luck!

Your situation is almost identical to myself, process starting to get really frustrating now though, given that timeframe from interview to interview a date is almost a month, really hoping to get home by the start of October.

Our field office is in Santa Ana, CA , and the website says it is processing I-485s as of Nov 17, 2015.

We filed early March this year and our interview has already been set for September 28. So the processing times are not always on point.

Took almost 6 months to get my work permit (Filed march, ead August). Had interview end of august and approved on spot. They never asked for anything.Said everything they needed was on file. I guess front loading the application works. God is amazing.

EDIT: I should mention that my case was a little more complicated than the typical one. Just glad i'm not separated from my family here. Gave my wife, lawyer and IO a big hug lol

Anyone else in Orange County, California ? Haven't heard anything since fingerprints...

Same field office. We got our interview notice thru text/email last Aug 23 and interview is on Sept 28. You will most likely get yours really soon,since we filed also about the same date as you, or if your adjusting thru K-1, you probably will just receive your GC automatically just like most here.

We finally got an electronic notification of approval last night. We'd made an InfoPass for today, but were happy to cancel. If we don't receive the letter by next week, we'll make another InfoPass. I wish we would've made an appointment sooner, since this seemed to have triggered a delayed action, but we were alternately out of town for a few weeks. I'll be glad when her card is in hand, so we can relax for a bit with all of this.
