Hi everyone,

 

I just discovered this thread and am grateful for everyone in the DMV area trying to help each other out!

USCIS received my AOS on August 1st, my case status was updated to "ready to schedule an interview" a while back (probably in late November, I don't remember exactly when I saw it for the first time) and since then nothing... except this weekend I noticed the status had changed to "unable to provide information on your case, please call USCIS". I called because of course I was worried and apparently it was just a system bug, their records still say that my case is ready to schedule an interview.

The USCIS representative told me that processing times for the Fairfax office are between 10.5 months and 18 months, which seems really long! It's definitely longer than the average processing times displayed on VJ. My husband thinks it's because DC is such an international city. What do you guys think? I would be interested in hearing from the VJ member who filed in Jan 2018 and already had his/her interview scheduled. Also, do you think processing times vary by type of AOS? I'm adjusting based on marriage if that makes a difference.

 

Have a great day everyone!

hi! 

 

i personally do not think the type of visa one is adjusting from makes a difference. if it's AOS, they all just go into one scheduling queue. or at least it used to, until they decided that for some reason only known to them, since jan 2018 they decided to just skip us 2017 AOS filers and started interviewing the 2018 filers! so far i have counted 6 people who have been called for their interview and all 6 people filed in Jan/Feb/Mar 2018.

 

that Jan 2018 filer got interview last March so only 3 months from filing and he/she was adjusting from F1.

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to report that just a week after calling USCIS I received the letter in the mail informing me of my interview date. I don't know if the call helped accelerate my case but I guess it didn't hurt... I find it slightly suspicious that after not hearing anything for 7 months, just a week after I give them a call I get the interview date. But it could be the paranoia induced by this immigration processed talking! Haha

Anyway, my interview is on the 26th, which is lucky because I'm flying home on the 29th, so I don't have to reschedule and risk anymore delay.

Wish me luck! And good luck to everyone waiting to hear from USCIS.
