It's possible, but also very possible with an interview. I filed on December 20, had "fingerprint fee received" up until last friday (June 16) when it changed to "interview is scheduled". I never had any other status in between those two and never received an RFE either. I went to an infopass for an issue I had and my case was still with NBC then, that was in mid-May.

 

This has also happened to more people in the December thread. I guess sometimes the online case status just doesn't update to "ready to schedule interview" and just goes straight to "interview scheduled" instead. 

You're absolutely correct. My case went straight from fingerprint fee received to interview scheduled.

My husband and I had our interview this morning and we were approved on the spot!!! What a relief. 

 

Our interview was at the Chicago, IL field office. We had a very serious but sometimes sarcastic/funny officer. He swore us in and began asking basic information about us. He asked my husband for his full name and date of birth (USC), place of birth, etc. Asked for my birth certificate and wanted to verify our current address. Then he asked about the names of my parents and where they live. He wanted to know if I had any relatives in the States and if I finished my studies, when was the last time that I entered the US. He asked if my family came to our wedding at which time I showed him our wedding album and he seemed to enjoy that we had an actual reception. He asked my husband when/how we met, when was the first time we met in person, when he proposed, and when we started talking about marriage. Then he wanted to know who our joint sponsor was and what he did. Asked about my husband's job and then mine. He said that we submitted a lot of family photos and just asked about my husband's big family (if you can get photos at family functions, please do! It'll help.) Then I had to answer all the yes or no questions.

 

He didn't ask anything about 2016 tax return. He didn't ask for any documents to prove our bonafide marriage, not even bank accounts. But I think it helps that we lived together for two years before getting married (adjusting from a student visa). 

 

He told us his job is to evaluate a case to see whether or not there is immigration fraud and that he believed our marriage is real and that he'd approve us today (card in production now) or tomorrow. 

 

He told me that in two years I need to remove conditions and that it shouldn't require another interview because he isn't/has no reason to flag our case. Then told me that in three years I can become a US citizen. And that was it!

 

Good luck everyone! Hang in there.

Wow, we have practically the same timeline, and you already had your interview! 

 

Apparently my local USCIS office is among the slowest in the country...

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, that's the unfair part of it all. At least for AP/EAD you know that for the most part it will be within 3-4 months (I know some people wait longer, etc). But with interviews it's completely based on the field office and sometimes people have to wait for so long. I really hope that you'll get yours sooner rather than later. Stay positive and busy!

I tried to call and they said they would call back in "240 minutes" Of course when they called back my wife was not with me so we couldn't do anything. We're calling back tomorrow. 

Any updates? Did you get your card?  We still have not. :(

I called today and they told me to call back in 30 days (remember that we were approved for ead on April 22 and still haven't received it!) I was furious so I call again to speak to someone else. They said they could see the card has not been made yet so they would send a request to change the expiration date and find out why it hasn't been sent yet. Translation we are still waiting. I've lost all patience. If anyone has advice or helpful words it's appreciated.

What's the status of the AOS applications? Which days/month is USCIS processing?

I know I might have to wait for a couple of weeks until I get a new status update. I'm just curious.

I think it is fair to say they are processing AOS applications November 2016 through May 2017, however the website suggests that AOS applications that are newer than November 2016 are 'within normal processing time'.
