Apologize to y'all if you think I was the one rude. We're here to support and help each other and I'm sorry if I was rude

so I actually learned couple of things on the infopass that I'd like to share (Maybe y'all already knew, but I didn't know):

So when your "case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" it doesn't mean that it's in your local office. It's still at the NBC or Texas I guess depending on where you're applying from.
Your local office will ask for an amount of cases for that day or week to conduct the interviews. That's when the NBC will send that certain amount of cases to your local office.
So the officer who talked to me was able to see my case from the computer and say it's not in the local office yet, it's in the line to be sent, but he didn't have access to what "position" I am in that line.
He also gave me an estimate of when my interview would probably happen. He said July, cuz that's how long it's taking in my office (Way better information than: between 10,5 months and 22 months provided by the uscis website)
I asked about the medical examination because I see a lot of k1s retaking the exams after it expires. However both the officers I talked today said that the k1 examination won't expire, what might happen is that your doctor back in your home country might have put that's incomplete. in which case they'll ask you to retake it. That actually made me wonder if mine is complete, I hope so, but I guess I won't be retaking any exams before the interview.
Anyway, hopefully that was helpful to someone.
They were very polite and nice, and not at all disrespectful! I was glad to know they didn't just repeat whatever the website/app or call service says.
 

Great info!!!!   Thank you for posting........

Houston is EXTREMELY backlogged
Please update your timeline so we can give you better assistance.
We have no idea when you filed, etc

Is Indiana currently better than Dallas?
Also-make sure your case hasn't been sent to Dallas first yet girl
I heard it is an ABSOLUTE pain to get case files resent back and forth to local offices.

I don't even know how to do that. Would Andy have to call? This SUCKS.

Yep
Andy has to call and that's probably the easiest way. 
Just have him call and see if someone can tell you exactly what's up and if the case is still at NBC. Cuz I would hate for your case to be sitting and collecting dust in Dallas when Indiana could be faster. then you might have to wait 5+ weeks to get a stupid case file sent over 🙄

Also- not sure if this can work but u can check the automated line. I've heard that sometimes it tells you. If it says it's still at NBC, then you're good to go!

Once you call, follow the prompt to check case status by receipt number. It then rambles off your most recent status. Then at the end of that, it might say something like "On July 15, we received your case. Your case is still at Missouri blah blah blah. We'll let you know if we need something from you"

It says this system cannot provide you case status at this time. But online it says your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. Any clue what this means.

I think that means it's out of NBC?.. 
I've heard mixed reviews. Because someone said that local offices request cases WELL in advance like a couple months out so they can handle scheduling, then it sits on the desks till they get to it.
I say call the line if you REALLY have to know if it's moved like Jackie because she's moving.
