Congrats to everyone who's got their interviews!!

 

I'm a July filer as well and so far I've been having the 'We Are Ready to Schedule Your Interview' since August last year :( 

 

Anybody still on that boat? I've heard that contacting you Congressman doesn't really help at all. :/ 

Yep. Still waiting. LA County. Case inquiry is at December 2015 so got another 2 1/2 years before I can even make an inquiry. About to renew my EAD and AP. 

April 22, 2020 - I-751 sent

April 23, 2020 - I-751 received at Lockbox 

April 29, 2020 - Check cashed
??? - didn’t receive text or email confirmation. Ugh!

Yeah, SFV is all the way back in 2016 :( 

 

I was going to renew my AP, but I have a trip coming up soon and will do it when i come back. Hopefully it won't take too long like last time. It's getting so frustrating.

We're in the same boat. Filed in June of 2017, acceptance date is July 12. Case status "ready to be scheduled for an interview" hasn't changed since September. Placed a service request in February; contacted a Congressman in March. Received generic replies... no help at all. 

We're in Houston and I see so many people have been waiting since fall of 2016 and no interviews yet! So frustrating... This wait is taking its emotional toll on us. 

Yesterday, I mailed applications for EAD renewals for my K-2 daughter and myself.

I do remember you guys. We were all surprised you had that update so soon. Man, and I thought our case was taking too long, ours have been “We Are Scheduling Your Interview” since Dec 2017.

Yep, one of the first to receive but now we are waiting. When we applied, Seattle was around 210 days from application to GC IIRC. Checking the last three months, Seattle is up to 412 days! My wild guess is that it has to do with the huge increase in H1 visa processing and investigations overwhelming the office here.

Hi folks, got my interview at the Jacksonville office on May 22. The security personnel as friendly as always they even handed lollypops to our kids. Interview was a breeze, pure formality, the IO was straight to the point and extremely professional, no deviations from the protocol, the interview lasted barely 20 min and at the end she said she had everything she needed and that we were going to receive the cards in around two weeks.

I sincerely hope that all of you get your interview set/done as soon as possible with a positive outcome, we all know that the uncertainty of this process that is basically out of our control it is a constant test to our sanity.

All the very best on this endeavor.

Non for me yet.  Since September 6/2017 my file has said ready to book an interview. but nothing and then the past month or so this has been posted.At this time USCIS cannot provide you with information for your case. Please contact the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 for additional information.

  I phoned this number and they said it was a glitch but nothing has changed.  When I phoned in to listen to the message on where my application is at it say ready to book an interview..

It does the same for me :( Funnily enough, everyone I know so far who's had this glitch were also with the 'Ready For Interview' status, so that gave me a bit of hope, but it has been this way for me for about a month :(

Hello do you think your interview will be scheduled soon? Though not  expecting anything soon, mine says USCIS can not provide me with information for my case. It’s been on ready to be scheduled for interview since August last year.

I have no idea, to be honest :( Mine is the same as yours, ready to be scheduled since August, but USCIS does not provide any information than what we can find on the website. I am seeing a lot of filers getting their interview when they hit their 1 year mark, so maybe we get that letter in June, perhaps? :) (wishful thinking)

 

What's funny is that I thought after waiting for my EAD and AP, the wait for the GC interview was going to be a breeze. I even thought 'Oh, now that it took long to receive them, I might get the GC in, like, January or something' :(
