Let me tell you a journal of myself. I was rejected twice because USCIS errors. 

I applied on December and now I was 3 months delayed... I was supposed to have my interview 2-3 months ago!!! 

They even promised to speed up but at the end, they did not do that. 

I have been waiting and as being frustrated as much as you are.

Be patient and let this thing go away, it will come soon.

My interview is on 9/18 and school starts on 9/28. Do you see this make no sense to me while I am living in NorCal and going to school in SoCal ? 

It means I need to go back for a ceremony...

Ugh. Sorry to hear. At least you have your interview coming up. Good thing about applying in Hawaii is that they schedule people for an interview and the oath at the same day whenever they can. All the best!

Here is an interesting link for everyone who is wondering about processing times and the volume they are dealing with.

The other thing you can do although there's no guarantee that it may help or not help you. Call USCIS and talk to a level 2 officer and see if he/she knows where your file is or if they know more about the progress of your case.

Thanks. I tried that but they refuse to refer me to a level 2 officer as long as my case isn't out of normal processing times...

Good luck to you!

USCIS always has a secret of how they schedule your interview, or how they make decision on your case.

However, my USCIS office actually schedules interview based on priority date, but some people behind was scheduled. No-one knows.

Be patient and it will come whenever you don't even notice anymore.

Thanks for your comment. I understand that priority dates might play a role here, but seeing that a few people (in Honolulu) have had their interview and oath almost 4 months ago, even though they filed at the same time, seems not right to me.  

Do you know if they make a difference between countries/getting the GC through marriage vs. lottery/anything like that?

It's tough to be patient if I can't make any travel plans for Christmas yet. 

Sigh, I am starting to get really frustrated here.
My case has been in line for an interview since March 2017. No updates since then. I am at the Honolulu office. When I took my fingerprints mid March, the lady told me that it used to be 3-4 months in total, now it's more like 5-7. 

According to the processing times, Honolulu is working on cases from October 2016! So it's even longer. 

How come that I keep seeing filers who applied for the same time at the same field office and they got their interview already?

I thought they work on cases as they come in? 

Timeline:

NOA 20 Feb 2017
