Hi February peeps!  What is the general time we are finding between getting the YOU ARE READY TO BE SCHEDULED FOR YOUR INTERVIEW and the ACTUAL interview?

 

Ironically, we actually are hoping it takes awhile. My wife's passport was expiring in a few days, so the second she got her combo card, she went home to get her passport (long story of why she could not do it from the USA since my dog literally ate her passport years ago and she had to get a temporary passport, but I digress ...)

 

Of course, the second she got to Canada, we received the "You are ready to be scheduled" email.

 

1.  If this runs like the rest of the process, it means her actual interview is probably 6 months away.

2.  Also, if this runs like the rest of this process, it means that the email notification comes weeks and weeks or months and months after it should.

I don’t have my interview scheduled yet, so cannot help you with that. But it has been ready to be scheduled for 73 days already lol. But I heard that my LFO takes a while so...

Thanks so much!  Green Card isn't really that important since we already have EAD and AP so work and travel are kind of all we need.

That’s true. Just hoping the interview won’t be too far out that we have to renew EAD, honestly lol

It took like 2 weeks for mine to change from ready to be scheduled...to a date has been scheduled...from there the date was a month away

Wow. That is fast!  Others were saying it could take over a year. Well, hopefully it’s longer than a month but this process (and 2020 in general) has taught all of us to chill out and realize we can’t control a thing.

I believe it depends on where you live aka which office is responsible for your interview. I feel like I read something about very different processing times somewhere on the uscis website but I can't remember where

[igoyougoduke 1,656]

San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Chicago probably are the slowest while  USCIS in the middle of the country with few immigrants are probably the fastest for interviews.

 

so it all depends on where you live

@NataBubu It took almost 2 months for my husband to get approved after his biometrics. Some people have seen similar timelines and others received their approval with 1-2 weeks. So it varies. Best advice, keep calling and try to reach out to your Senator. We didn’t see any movement until our Senator got involved. 

I did, two times, no answer... 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive your social security number after approval? We checked the box to receive one. My husbands combo card will finally be here Monday 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I’m really sorry to hear that. It can’t be extremely discouraging. I hope you hear something soon. 🙏🏾

These reps have no clue as to what they’re talking about. When we talk to a tier 1 she stated that my husband doesn’t have any correspondence or updates in the pipeline. This was last Thursday. He receive a bio apt that Saturday and his approvals today. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I agree, when I received my biometrics, I remember calling them every single day before the mail arrived, they claimed nothing was set and to keep waiting. They don’t really know and they lie a lot.

Ours changed from ready to be scheduled to scheduled in 2 weeks. Then our interview was only 2 and half weeks later. Our interview was yesterday.
