Thanks for the kind words........no interview would be great!!!!  My wife has not yet decided whether she will submit her N-400 under the 3 year rule or the 5 year rule........the journey continues....😁

Hello everyone, I have one question about the address. when I filed the I751, I already filed with my new address, and I can get the biometric &  extension letter at my new place. But when i login the USCIS account. I found it still shows my old address. Do I need update that address or just ignore it ? Also almost one year. my application still stays at "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview"

I have the exact same issue , but Last week when I showed up for my interview it was like the guy didnt get my address change and he wrote down my new address even-though I already did it couple of month back. 
 

anyway they are not as organized as you think they are. 
 

funny thing is They said my card is already mail to me but today I received a letter letting me know my case was approved and I will be getting my new card whitin 60 days!

 

Anyhow , as for one year "ready to be scheduled" it all depends on how backlogged your local office is . 
 

Hope you get through this asap ,

i wish missle and rest of ppl here to get it over with asap, as I first handedly know how frustrating things might get. You know what i am talking about so GL

Joining the party here. Just got my husband's extension letter, and we have an MSC case number. I was really hoping no interview, so a little disappointed :(

 

Our local office is Santa Ana, CA (which is always backed up), so probably in for a long wait now.

Going for my interview now.  Its one with two waivers and although I was never nervous about the truth - I have had a massive possibly terminal health issue come up suddenly in less than a week and don't have the photographs they requested for. Hoping they understand and allow for it to be sent in a day or two.  Hope my waivers get accepted, I have kids.

We just got the notice that our case is ready to be scheduled for an interview as of January 22! We are MSC and applied July 12. Crossing fingers for everyone else out there 🙂

Just found this forum!

 

Hope the spreadsheet owner doesn’t mind but I added a column on the tracker to calculate duration from biometrics appointment to ready for interview scheduling (was dying to know how long my wait might be)!
