I applied for AOS and got my fingerprint interview on 27 march...how long it takes for green card interview after fingerprints????

Depends on when you filed. 

It takes about a year.

Since usually biometrics is within 30-40 days of NAO1 for AOS, overall process from NOA1 to approval and green card is average 11-12 months. Each case is different.

 

Did you apply for EAD and AP also?

No EAD? Both were free with AOS.

 

Those two for combo card usually are 3-4 months after NOA1.

You should have applied for a work permit as you won't be able to work until you get your green card which takes about a year if you're unlucky, few months less if you're lucky. Not everyone will have an interview.

You mean you filed AOS with your maiden name (pre-marriage surname)? You shud have used your spouse’s surname in AOS forms and you would have received GC in married name.

 

Now not sure if you are allowed to change the surname for free during AOS interview. In that case, you can apply for changing your surname after you get your GC but with a whopping $455 fee, or during naturalization for free.

Hard to tell but it seems like the majority of people who came on K1 does not get an interview.

No interview for us. Not everyone get's an interview. There can be determining factors on why some do and some don't. I've heard depends on your field office, they have to do so many a quarter and if they reach that then the rest are approved (not really sure this is accurate though). Can also be a bit on where the person is from(country of origin) and if it's high fraud, so they do a follow up. Again could be multiple reasons why.
