Congratulations! Looking at your timeline, you are really a fast one. For your K1 and for your AOS as well. Besides the fact that you filed in Chicago, is there anything special about your case that it goes that fast? 

I’m not really sure.. Maybe it really depends on the officer working on our papers. hopefully things will be smooth for all of us :))

I just got a update saying that my case is ready to be scheduled for interview too! 

 

I'm not sure whether to get excited about this update or not, just because it's 'ready' doesn't necessarily mean it'll be soon...right? (Although I'm keeping my fingers crossed! ) Does anyone have any idea of the average timescale or significance of this update?

Guys I have a question. I Heard somewhere that all interviews also after K1 are No longer waived as it used to be. Can someone confirm that or give any source? I cannot find that information anywhere, although I found the information about employment based and refugee cases that are no longer waived for interviews (on uscis site). I am asking because in my notice is say that „not every applicant may require Interview”, which means that there is still a chance for us to avoid it. Or not?

I really would like to know that too! But so far, have not seen anyone being waived after September but I hope I missed something. Would be good to ask the broader audience!

There was a discussion around this topic back in February and I saw some folks last year from August and other months been waived. Anyway, this should clarify/answer your question;

Thank You! Thats exactly what I found, although I guess they are not waiving as often anymore looking at last couple month’s threads.

Thank you for the info. Did you see/notice anybody waived after September 2017?

[T_P 872]

@Martella&T I have not seen any waived case from the mentioned date but I did find an interesting post that you guys may want to take a look;

 

It also talks about waiver etc....

@T_P Thank you so much! That was a very interesting discussion. To me it looks like no waivers. But about SSN - I got my number before getting married and it was no problem. Thanks again, I appreciated the rest of the info.

It can happen :)) some applicants didn’t go thru an interview.
