So I called USCIS and the lady said well the process of Georgia, Atlanta is now  approximately 10months. I am still within processing time. I was just frustrated.

Is your case in ATL?

[Bose12 32]

Yes. Do you know anyone with August and September pd who have interview dates now? I am hoping for interview notice as I am not K-1

If it's ATL then you are in line for interview. You will not be able to do a service request until the date from their official site has past yours.

 

No I have not seen anyone but I've haven't checked on it either. Try and go back to the June AOS filers and see if there is anybody there with ATL dates should be around that time now.

Thanks. I will check now. I really hope to get an interview notice soon and date and get tru this successfully and move on. I feel stuck! Lol

I understand. One of the great thing about living in ATL.

So my Advanced Parole is approved today. It took faster than I thought,

only a month. I applied for it before the travel ban, and though I'm not from the seven countries, I'm still worried. I guess I should wait a bit more since others said Sept files are coming up soon!

Hey everyone, throught id check in. Life has been good (despite some fears post elections). I got a new job I started this week. All has been very quiet and easy. And then I just got a text informing me that my status had changed. 

I was expecting an interview notice because I know my case was at the field office, but nope: card in production!

filed end of august, received beginning of September. Didn't really check up on them since the EAD because, frankly, there's no point trying to rush them... I am so so so happy! My husband is at work, but I just called him immediately in tears!

Good luck to anyone still waiting - it all comes through in the end!

Just got back from our interview at the San Fernando office.

Even though we were early, it was over two hours from the security line to the immigration officer's office. 

 

Even though I filed an address change 2 and a half weeks ago and received an email that USCIS had updated our address, the officer had an old address. Once he updated that, he took the evidence we were living as a married couple, copies of our marriage license and birth certificates, and picked a few of our photos to add to the massive file (mostly wedding photos). He asked what kind of work I do, and then told us that someone would consider our case and do a background check and that we'd know within 45 days about their decision. He photocopied our IDs and off we went.

We were feeling pretty frustrated since the interview felt less like an interview than paperwork gathering and we'd hoped to know right then if I'd be approved or not. Plus we'd both been too nervous to eat much breakfast and then been in the office for almost 3 hours all said and done, so we were very hungry. But before we'd even left the parking garage I got a text update saying my card is in production? No "approved" status, just that the card is being produced. So it's been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm not holding my breath though, I'll relax once the case says "approved" and/or I have the card in hand. 

Best advice though: bring a small book to read while you wait and even if you're nervous, eat before you go! Whatever happens will be way more tolerable if you're not hungry...

Congrats! The "card in production" notification seems to usually come before the "approved". Your experience resembles ours, only we had an officer that was qualified to approve us on the spot.

Thank you! I guess they gotta keep us on our toes! We did get the "approved notification" last night some time, but my gosh was it an exhausting day. 

Once I thought about it after lunch (food does wonders for stress...) I seemed to remember similar stories of people being sent away thinking it would take ages and then being surprised with "card in production" notices, so it makes sense that there are officers who can approve you on the spot and those who can't. It aligns with our experience with our interviewer pretty well too. 

Good luck to everyone else who's waiting, may approval come swiftly and painlessly!
