Yesterday I finally received my green card! I'm so happy and relieved that the wait is over and that I can work and go visit my family back in Spain!

Received a status update on my case this morning on the tracker that my case was scheduled for an interview. Ironically enough the new DHS website didn't update but the old tracker did.

Fingers crossed for you. I hope this is a signal that 2017 filers are moving again. 

Good for you! Damn, I wish they won't update mine yet now that I am less than 2 weeks to move! Be stressful having to deal with job & aptment hunting. Hopefully my case still stops at NBC and when we update the new address somewhere next month once we secure an aptment they will transfer faster. I'd hate it if we are in Philly then I see notices in informed delivery to Yuma address about interview schedule... duh!

Congratulations to all who got their interview appointment recently. We are still waiting on ours, it's frustrating but good to see things are still moving for some. I think at this point, the Seattle office MUST be one of the slowest in the nation.

Hope you hear something soon - hopefully with the recent movement on 2017 filers, you're not far off getting an interview date.

Congrats! Please let us know how it goes How long did it take you to get the letter?

 

I actually didn't receive the letter, I called USCIS to inquire about whether or not I would need a new medical and they told me on the phone that I was scheduled for the 26th June. The guy said I should get the letter this week.

They said that they wouldn't bother getting one unless the IO specifically requests it.

I just talked to the USCIS about my case asking when the interview date will be, seeing how the app says the letter will be mailed out soon (May 18). The USCIS officer told me he didn't know. I even told him the I got an update saying the date was mailed to me but I didn't receive it yet. I don't think these people working for the USCIS could be any less helpful sometimes :/

Yeah I spoke to Tier 2, Tier 1 won't tell you anything. Did you speak to Tier 2? 

 

You got a status update saying the date was mailed to you? Mine just says 'Interview Was Scheduled' - are you using the DHS website or the old USCIS case tracker one? 

 

I received the 'Interview was Scheduled' update on May 17th, so a day before you.
