I only know one girl that went through Charlotte and that was in 2016. It took her 10 months to get the green card.
But the processing times on the USCIS website went down from 10.5 months to 8.5 months. I just checked. 

Good news for us but we still got to wait for the updates 😂

I was unsure about my field office because my physical address is on Fresno's jurisdiction and my mailing address is on San Fernando's!!!

But after receiving my biometrics letter, it looks like I'll be having the interview in San Fernando - which sucks, because the waiting time there is much much longer than in Fresno

Hi,

I am from Boston, MA. I too got notification right now for the same. How much time do you think it can take from here to actually getting an interview?

Do you know what's weird? My case is ready to be scheduled, but I have still no update about the biometrics.

In my case history, it only shows that my fingerprint fee was accepted, but there is nothing about the biometrics.

You mean no update saying that “biometrics review was complete”? I don’t have one either but I kinda assumed that if it’s ready to be scheduled then the biometrics are done and they just didn’t update the online status

I tried reading all the posts on this thread but it's 47 pages long lol

I read comments about the SS card, here's my situation:

 

POE (LAX): 02/02

Wedding in Vegas: 02/14

Up until then, my I-94 record was still not showing on the website, so I decided to go ahead and get married.

On Feb 18 I e-mailed the CBP regarding my I-94 and 3 days later it finally showed online. However, they had misspelled my first name lol. I e-mailed them again on the same day requesting a correction but they never did it.

 

Anyway, on March 1st I finally got my marriage certificate in the mail, and that's when I went to the SS office. 

On my first try, they couldn't go ahead with my request because of my misspelled name on the I-94, so I stepped outside and called the CBP. After insisting and begging, they corrected it over the phone! 

I went back in and had to wait again in line. This time, they had a problem with the length of my name (I didn't drop any of my birth names, I just added my husband's last name - and I made the mistake of writing all of them under "last name" instead of using the "middle name" box as I did on my AOS. Therefore, of course, they couldn't fit them all on their system. 

Long story short, and after receiving a very rude treatment by the lady there, she finally sent my request - but under my maiden name, because that's all that she could type into the box. 

 

Two weeks later, I got my card in the mail (with my maiden name on it).

On March 29 I went back there and this time I put my middle name in the correct box!! No problems whatsoever this time! SAVE case check returned my case to agency on Apr 2nd, so now I'm just waiting for my new card or a denial notice in the mail lol

 

 

So, basically, my being married was never a problem at the SSA. I was lucky, I guess (except for the whole name length issue).
