Anyone from July 2017 still waiting? My field office had my case for more than a year now, and I still haven't had my interview.

:) Yes, still waiting here. Our case literally just approached 2 years from filing date by tomorrow 7/18. Which means if we are to have interview we'll probably be told to re-do medical examinations.
Ours were mistake by the USCIS office initially scheduled interview at wrong location at our former address, then we requested to re-route our entire case folder and reschedule interview in Philly. Since Jan, we have heard nothing until now despite multiple visits to Field Office, they told us to hear an update between 30-45 days. Worst case is that they no longer accept any walk-in or InfoPass Appointment. Only thing one can do is call the USCIS Hotline to inquire, which you will only hear the same thing that you can see from Online Case Status.

Our only option now is to wait to be rescheduled for interview. Also as of June, there was a new implementation where Field Offices with heavy workload are allowed to distribute cases to other nearby Field Offices. Therefore, Applicants can expect to receive interview notices from another location of field office which is not the primary one assigned based on your address. Of course, they will try not to assign anything that is way too far, for example Philly to California, is way too ridiculous. Maybe somewhere outside of your city if there's another field office at neighbor city. In my case, perhaps NJ / Lancaster / Harrisburg.

On the bright side, we're looking at getting the 10 years GC if we even ever get to have a chance to attend interview since we've been married > 2 years by now.
