Thanks, I had to call them to get that. Ask to speak with a Tier 2 officer when you call. We have not received the letter yet.

Oh man, than that means I'm far from getting the interview hahah... I actually called them when i got the update and a few times after that and talked to a Tier 2 and they all said that there are no new updates on my case :(

 

My last attempt was this week. I am going on an international trip and already used my AP once but wanted to check with them if it's still okay to use it again (it is, but it was just an excuse to ask about the GC case haha), and with the Tier 2 officer I brought up if there are any updates on my case and he said they are still waiting to schedule my interview :( 

 

Did you ask if there are any updates on your case or did you bring up the glitch in the website?

I spoke to them about the glitch and they told me they had submitted our case to be scheduled. They schedule Interviews 1 month in advance. Also, keep an eye on the app for updates.

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' :(

Thank you so much! You also had the glitch in your USCIS update? :)

Yes

Do you think when I call, My case will be forwarded and scheduled for interview? Did you speak with a tier 2 officer?

I will give it a try, I feel when that happens, you are due for an interview. I think it also depends on the officer who received your phone call.

No, I don't think it has anything to do with it. Yes I spoke to Tier 2 officers twice.

Two days ago, I received a letter from USCiS informing me my application for work authorization renewal was received. This morning I can see another letter on my informed delivery. I feel it’s for my interview, though it has not changed to interview scheduled on USCIS website. I have suspended calling them this morning till I see the content later today.

I received the hard copy 2 days ago. Do you think they sent the hard copy twice? 

No. But try not to get your hopes up. I received a letter shortly after my EAD renewal NOA1 hard copy saying they don't need to take my biometrics again. I got my hopes up thinking it was an interview letter, and was so disappointed when it wasn't.

That may be what is coming my way. Do you think I should go ahead and call them?
