Unfortunately I did not get an actual interview yet just that my case is ready to be scheduled for one

But if you look in the February AOS there is some reviews on there AOS interviews and they said it was easy and most time they spent during the interview process is 15 min

I see... I know it can be very frustrating (as I am everyday). I hope it goes smoothly for you and everyone on here actually.

What's there to lose patience for if you already have your EAD/AP?

Just received my Green Card today We didn't get called into an interview! My card is valid for 10 year though.... That has to be a mistake, right?

For the people who just walked in for there bios after they got there appointment date but before the actual appointment. Did you make an info pass appointment for that day? Or did you literally just turn up at the front door asking to get it done? I'm just curious the local office here won't let you in the door unless you have proof of appointment that's why I asked if you done an info pass?

Tried to walk-in to do biometrics today.. Was turned down (we don't do advance if it is not extreme emergency) and the second was not really a NO, more likely "Oooh, I don't think we can do walk-ins. I mean, you can wait."

Since he didn't give me number nor paper to fill I figured out naaah and left. I'll just arrange my travels in a way that I can go on the original bio date.

Funny thing was that both places we're saying "we are busy".. Errrmmm. There is no one here. It's 2pm and you are eating in front of me.. okaayy. :D :D

my local office when i previously went after arriving in the US don't even let you in the door without the appoinrment letter... security will check your letter/email confirmation of your appointment before they will let you into the building thats why i was wondering how you guys managed to even get into the building... No email/letter = no entry to the building... i dont know if security is just tighter here due to the high presence on military not sure

Could be.

1 out of 2 ASC's I went today had security who checked my letter and my ID but handed them to the "manager" who already had decided that no one is allowed to just walk-in to his ASC. :D

I just smiled and said to myself whatever.. i'm not that desperate.

The 2nd place didn't have security at all.. only a reception area with a person check-in people.
