Please let us know  when you find out what this appointment really is.  Your experience will be very valuable for others....

Hello Missileman and Everyone, 

Just wanted to let you all know and give you an update. The paper was in fact an interview notice for AOS and we were verbally accepted by the immigration officer! We still are blown away by how quickly the process went for us being that we waited for so long for K1. 

Thank you all for the support and guidance.

Thank you! I have a theory: the immigration officer we had was in from MA, I think that since WI seems backed up taking 5 - 13 months to approve AOS that they are pulling officers from different more slower offices to help with the backup. Which is maybe why we got an interview notice not a NOA interview notice and we received it just 2 weeks before the interview it was sent out 3/15 and our interview was today.
