Our status changed today to "ready to schedule for interview" YAY!

Now for the wait lol hard for my brain to understand how it could be in 30 days or in 30 months lol USCIS sure knows how to keep us on pins and needles.

 

So does this mean that we in the clear of an RFE? 

Yes it does! And now the next waiting begins! Congrats!

We are DC filers, PD July 9 and status on everything is still "Case Was Received"

Hello. Just started following this forum. We filed our AOS in July and my wife had her bio-metrics in St. Louis on August 24th. Received an e-mail on August 30th that her interview was ready to be scheduled.

Hey, we're also DC filers! Don’t worry about the status updates. Some get them some don’t. Our K-1 status still says “case was received”.

 

which website are you using to check your status? Have you done your biometrics appt yet?

Welcome to the forum. That is a good news. No we just need to wait for the interview.

 

Good to see somebody from the St. Louis area. I thought I was alone....

Hi guys! Really excited to see that some people are getting updates.

 

Am I right to assume that getting your interview has more to do with where you live than when you filed? Dallas has a huge backlog, so... I want to be hopeful, but I am also starting to feel super duper sad about the fact that we might have to wait longer because of where we live.

That seems to be my understanding.  There is a couple on here who lives about 4-5 hours away from where they scheduled their interview.  I am willing to fly for an interview.  I wish they would give us that option.

Not a political post.  Just curious!  Does anyone know about how long this k1-AOS process used to take 2- 3 years ago?

Yep
Welcome to the waiting game Jackie. You and Andy and us are kinda screwed in the grand scheme of things. We all gotta just buckle down and hope for a quick EAD/AP because Texas is CRAWLING-- unless we move to El Paso-- which is like not too bad.

 

Agree with DPP123 - If we have an option to go somewhere faster, we would
I completely think it is madness that some folks who filed in early 2017 in some cities are still waiting whilst some people from like July this year already have interviews.

Well girl this is hard because like every city was different before
2-3 years ago, i think the AVERAGE was like 8 months
Now it's about 12-14. Keeping in mind that that's an average 

Things seemed to have definitely gotten worse at the bigger immigration/port cities.
Because some places seem relatively stable like Alaska, Montana and Vermont. Not a peep changed at those places

Girl... I would fly to Alaska.  LOL  Just want this nightmare to be over with.  I feel for my husband.  He left a  comfortable life to be stuck here.  He feels like he is in prison.  He even said to me the other day that he feels like an illegal.  That broke my heart.  I told him that he is not here illegally and that patience is key.

man-- am so sorry. That sucks to hear

 

My husband is a trooper. He won't complain for ANYTHING but I know it's killing him and I sometimes feel guilty
but we all gotta just accept that it's the sacrifice we make for love.

We told ourselves till Xmas of 2019 so about 18 months in our minds for GC- if it comes earlier, fabulous
and just got busy doing other things- learning to drive, starting school, etc

It sucks. Just be there as much as you can for him. This too shall pass..
