I-485 interview

[aichteeque 7]

Hello VJ !

I applied for an AOS from F-1 based on marriage in April 2016 from Minneapolis/St. Paul MN. Since May 23, 2016 it's been on "Ready to Schedule an interview"

On the USCIS website it shows that the field office is working on cases from November 19, 2015 (As of June 30th, 2016).

The Chicago office processing time is December 21, 2015. How come some people who filed in February or March 2016 for AOS from Chicago get an interview already?

Hello? I hope someone knows the answer

How do some AOS petitions get approved earlier than the processing times shown at USCIS website?

I applied from Minneapolis in Apr, and Since May,2016 I have been "ready to schedule an interview"

Do not rely on the USCIS website, I apply in April and never had my status change to "case is ready to be schedule", surprisingly last week I had a text update (no email notification which is weird) that my interview has been schedule for late September. My filed office is Baltimore, MD and on the website it says they are working on

Check your spam/junk folder, I found some email notifications there.

Can you share what you told to the customer service?

i tols them my PD is April 4th, 2016 and had my fringerprint in May. and received my EAD in july. How come I still dont have my interview schedule but other from baltimore who apply after me already had there interview or interview date. She told me she doesnt know that her screen is showing a backup from baltimoreand to expect an interview date in 6 months. I told her 6 months would put me out of the normal processing time. Told her I wanted to talk to a tier 2 person and told me they stop transferring for the rest of the day. I said I would send a letter to the congress man and hang up. the next day my interview was schedule

Thanks for your reply.

Honestly, I do not understand how this works, maybe you can help me.

For the published processing times in Baltimore (USCIS site), it only says they are working on Nov filings on June 30. how did you manage to know they are already working on other Baltimore cases filed around the same time?

I am a bit confused how April filers are getting interviews scheduled in Sept, which conflicts with those published processing time.

My office is San Francisco, and it has more or less, the same timeline as Baltimore, and my expectation was having the interview Mar 2017 (for June filing), am I getting something wrong?

USCIS is not accurate when it comes to processing time. I have some friends who applied after and have there cases scheduled before me hence the reason I started contacting USCIS. Also I play with the number online to see if cases that are after me have any updates.

Marriage based greencard typically takes 6 months with no RFE involves unless one has background check still in process. Also if the officer who working on your case is slow, your case will be handle slowly and with delay.
