According to VJ stats, it's an average of 147 days (almost 5 months) between biometrics and interview. That's the average for all field offices.

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php?cfl=

I see that your local office, is Boston, too. Their AOS processing backlog is currently at 7 months.

does anyone know in what months are they working on with interview?

I don't think it matters since it's all concurrently filed. Although, most filers write 2 separate checks. I'm not sure about the logic behind it, but it kind of makes sense to have the applicant/beneficiary's fees separate from that of the petitioner. Here's another opinion about it:

Welcome to the thread, guys! I just got my Biometrics appointment in the mail today, scheduled for the 22nd of this month. I was so nervous opening the envelope, but once I saw the slip was white, I couldn't contain my excitement!

Anyone else got any updates? Also, the USCIS status webpage still isn't recognizing my numbers.

Congrats on your letter!

I'm having the same problem with USCIS status webpage. Not sure if it's too early to check, or I just happened to be one of the unlucky ones who won't be able to track case status online :( I read that sometimes that happens.

Hi, I just replied to your private message.

As for the photos, including our wedding photos, I laid them out on letter sized paper in MSWord, with 2-5 photos on each page and labels stating location/occasion + date. For example, because "selfies" and video messaging screenshots are tiny photos, I lumped them by 2's side-by-side with the label underneath each pair. I also made different sections with regard to the year and or type of photos and added a footer with page numbers (e.g. "2015 Photos ________ Page 1 of 3).

I would suggest against printing them out on thick photo paper and putting them in envelopes because not only will you end up with bigger cost, it will also be bulky and harder to organize. I tried to put myself in the mindset of the reviewer and imagine what the easiest layout would be for me to go over the documents.

Pls help

Also the wedding pictures etc . We send ,how did u put the pictures together to send ...in plastic bag or something ??

What I did was add the photos to a word document and put captions under them with dates and description. I then printed it out and included it with the rest for our evidence. I had 8 pages I think.
