I am impatiently waiting for Santa Ana, Ca service center for our AOS interview I did a follow up call this morning and they said we are still in processing time our file date is 10/10/2019  

The processing time changed for Santa Ana from 12mo-35mo  so we cannot inquire until after the 35 months they told us 

There is a couple here in visa journey with similar time frames but they filed a week after us they had got their interview for the Santa Ana office already so I don’t know what to do 🤷🏽‍♀️  How did they get a interview before us?

If you look through the posts here in the thread, there is a member that got an interview scheduled after 7 months (pre-Covid) at Santa Ana. Unfortunately it was rescheduled because of the shutdown and, as far as I'm aware, is still yet to be rescheduled. As with all things USCIS, a lot of the timing seems to come down to pure luck (good and bad), so hang in there and hopefully you'll hear something soon. 

 

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

We just had our interview and were approved on the spot. We filed at the end of August 2019 and this was our rescheduled  interview since our original interview was also cancelled by covid reasons.

Through mail.A few days before our case status online would show up as error and then eventually I saw they had done an update but couldn't see the update and then got the reschedule letter. Our rescheduled interview ended up being less than a month away from the day we got the letter.

Congratulations! Can I ask when your original interview was scheduled, just for the sake of a data point?

 

@Hphelp - Sorry to hear you're still waiting. Hope you'll hear some good news soon.
