2018 San Francisco filers

@Solid_Possibility@DandelionSF did you guys get the interview notice yet? I made an inquiry about a month ago and finally heard back from USCIS. Looks like the SF office is currently scheduling interviews received on or before March 28th.

Nothing new here. If end of March is correct, then I would assume that I need to wait another four weeks

I'm before both of you, I believe (submitted 4/10/18), and I haven't heard yet. I hope I hear soon.

[DandelionSF 6]

Yes, you are fifteen days ahead of me. Littleitaly is a month after me I think. Too bad you haven't heard yet. But the current 3/28 date sounds promising, thanks for asking littleitaly. 

 

I wanted to travel for summer, hope that we will be through in June latest.

April 06th here. Still haven't received the invite, I am guessing I will get the invite sometime this week or next week, with an interview for May (and ending in June). 😞

Hi Folks, Being statistically minded I did an analysis of interview waiting times (in days) vs filing dates through the SF Office, based solely on data available on VisaJourney (bear in mind this is a limited sample - there are THOUSANDS of applicants who never enter their timelines.) I also excluded some anomalously long times, assuming these people experienced some kind of problem.This shows that the typical waiting time for someone who applied in 3/18 is double that of someone who applied in 1/17. 

The growth is roughly linear, so if you apply now you might expect to wait roughly 2 years (!!). 

[DandelionSF 6]

Wow, thank you! Double...ugh. I looked last year and calculated with 250 days average, but this really shows the exponential growth. Sometime in 2017 the online filing was introduced, I think, and it was quicker than the paper version.

@thedarkelf - I haven't heard anything on my side (Apr 10th). Wonder if you had heard anything?

[anonee 8]

Nope. I am hoping this week tho...

@Ashanu - congrats! @thedarkelf - that means that you'll probably get yours in a couple days, and maybe I'll get it mine late this week. 🤞

[anonee 8]

Haha hopefully. I kind of wish I knew that it was getting delayed so much a month back,  based on previous folks over January and February, I had estimated that I'd be doing the interview late April and skipped a trip abroad. Fingers crossed! 

[DandelionSF 6]

Congrats! That looks like a mid July oath for me then. I thought the time between interview notification and interview is shorter, May 15 is still long. Can't believe it, as I also wanted to travel in summer (not booked of course).
