When did you file your ROC? How long did you have to wait for your status to change to this?

We filed early March.  Did biometrics on April 20 ( if I remember correctly.  It's in my timeline). It changed a few weeks ago to ready to be scheduled for interview.  Just changed over the last few days to has been scheduled for interview. 

Ok guys,  yet another update.  Interview notice received in today's mail.  Interview date is July 2 and it says spouse should come with.
