Yea supercrazy. I didnt asked but sounds like no interview scheduled before 

I avoided posting about it because I’m really working on this thing called “positivity” haha. But yeah, made me cringe. Have to assume that I don’t know the whole story. Can’t lie tho, seeing that is kind of a kick to the junk for everyone still waiting.

I think there was this one in the February thread yesterday. Though I'm not sure if she might have had an interview scheduled before. Other than that I've heard of none

We did not have a scheduled interview. It was quite strange because we did not even get a notification that our RFE was recieved. Hoping that you guys get waived too!

I think it might just be we're at the point where the different work loads of different field offices is making the process look a little haphazard and out of "order". Even if you're still waiting, you haven't been skipped and you are not forgotten - an officer WILL get to your file.

 

I know it's hard to stay positive when it looks like you're being left behind, but your day will come and like Sarge says, it'll jump up and bite you on the butt when you least expect it

Hi everyone! I’ve been on this board a while but have never introduced myself. 
 

Here is my timeline highlights:

 

filed: 9th Jan

bio: 19th Feb

ready for interview: 19th March 

 

and radio silence since. I’m in Rhode Island so LFO is Providence. I thought it might be a bit quicker since we have less applicants in RI, I think I’m just impatient!

I feel you. I'm happy for everyone who gets through the finish line but I'm also unhappy that it isn't me. I think that's normal and totally fine. 😊

So true. I'm at a point where I would love to work there just to see how it works 😁

Hahahaha of course

Hi guys! Hope everyone is keeping well, happy and healthy. 🙂

 

No updates from me, I’m still stuck on ‘interview cancelled’ it hasn’t gone back to ‘ready to be scheduled’ or changed to any other status. 

 

The wait continues... a wait with as much patience as I can muster!! 🙂

We're in MA (the Cape) but being processed in Providence too. 

 

What's the news from RI? Are they talking about when they'll likely reopen yet? (not that I approve of the opening too fast approach, I can barely believe states are reopening now)

As awful as it is for all the k1s and people that have applied out of country, I feel like maybe the in country applicant cases will speed up because they'll be more people available to work on them? I wouldn't be surprised if there is a whole lot of ready to schedules in the next few weeks

Hiiiiiii!!! I’m R.I. too! I thought the same, no one is coming to R.I. - this should be quick. Ugh. Haha. Welcome!

Hi fellow Rhodey filers 👋 

 

schools are closed for the rest of the school year but no word on when restrictions will be lifted yet. I believe we’re on official lock down until the 8th of May - I agree I want my interview done but don’t want restrictions lifted until safe to do so. My husband is a teacher so we’ve gotten to spend some well deserved time together after long distance for so long so I’m taking that as a win 😊

Hi! Do you have kids here too? I have 2 (13 & 9). Husband is considered essential so no real quality time with him, but lots with the kids due to school being out (just a wee bit o’ sarcasm there 😂😂)

Hey guys - hope everyone is hanging in there!

 

USCIS just announced they are extending their office closure to June 4 🥺

Oh wow. This could be a two-edge sword. Either more interview delays  or approvals without interviews   who knows.
