My wife and I just were traveling for the holidays and received a notification from USPS that we had mail from USCIS waiting for us at home (got that on 12/27).  We just got home today and found our interview notice scheduled for 1/30/2018!

 

For those not following, our priority date is 2/21/2017 which is roughly 310 days between notices and 340 days to the interview.

 

For anyone with experience with this.. my wife's medical is dates 2/01/2017 which will be just short of a full year on our interview day.  Should we bite the bullet and pay for a new medical to bring with us?

You guys are lucky, my case is ended up in Queens, NY. And their processing now June 2016 in the Queens field office , instead New York, NY processing time is January 2017 filers. So good luck!!!! I am way behind here... I filed in July 2017 so you can imagine when will I be scheduled for the interview. I don't even wanna think about it. Let us know how it goes!!! In the meantime Good Luck with the interview!!!!

Our lawyer find out. We filed through the Immigration Advocacy Services in Astoria.

Way cheaper then any other immigration lawyer just to make sure we don't make mistakes filling out the forms... As I read in the threads there were a lot of people that had to re send the form several times because they had little mistakes here and there in the forms... 

Of course they don't know the waiting time as the USCIS since 2016 had 4 times more applications to taking care of. I don't even know how long max. they can take for a case. (I mean the USCIS) Can they take more then a year?

I have no idea I had to wait 5 months for my ead ap card combo when other waited only 3 so you never know until it happens to you

i'd also like to point out.. my status online has never changed nor did i get any notifications about my cases even though i have received a letter saying with my interview date.  i'm not complaining but just make sure you're keeping an eye out in your mailbox.  i've signed up for the USPS notifications for incoming mail and that's helped twice now for knowing that we've got mail in from USCIS that the case status never showed online.

Hi this is my first post on this thread.  

 

- My wife is K1 to AOS from Philippines

- we filed May 2, NOA1 May 9 (may 3 for EAD/AP)

 - biometrics June 1

- Received combo card in September 

- aos is still on Fingerprint Fee Received

- submitted inquiry / SR Nov 9 on AOS (6 months in), SR hasn’t been assigned yet (estimated reply would’ve been dec 9)

 

no rfe, just stuck on fingerprint fee received for 8 months as of tomorrow

Husband sent in his medical it was delivered yesterday. Just waiting on a notice that they have received it. Probably won't hear anything from them until the next 30 days or so. But hopefully it will show that the evidence was received soon. #blessings

Yes absolutely. If the medical from i-693 is dated for 2015. They consider that an old application and they won't use it. Get the new form on there website 2017 version and get your updated medical done so it won't delay your approval. We got the RFE for a new medical and our interview was last month. His medical would have expired next month... I replied to this post late but hopefully u choose to do the right thing.

Omg guys I would like to share the great news I'm in serious tears of joy right now. Just got notice online that my husband green card was approved. I didn't get any notice that the 1-130 was approved maybe it will come later on but from what I have researched the the 1-485 can't get approved unless the 1-130 was approved in the first place. Thanking  the universe n the cosmos right now. Genuine Blessings to every one.

Thank you!! 😁😁😁😊They received our new medical on the 23rd of January. Didn't get any update from them until now. Saying that our case was approved am in Pittsburgh so the  processing time is alot faster here. I moved from NYC to here back in October.
