WAITING FOR INTERVIEW NOTICE
Hi All,

How long does it usually take for the interview notice after receiving the RFE response for i485-J? My RFE-R was received by the USCIS April13th. It's almost a month and no updates since then. I am hoping to get it soon as my medicals will expire in July.

Thank you all!

Thanks You for Your timelines, it help me a lot to get my estimate on my case.
After my attorney told me my entire green card process will take between 9 and 18 months It was really tiring to get the case approved, specially seeing applicants from different Service Centers being way ahead even starting multiple months after me...

Good luck to everyone !

Interview notice after case transfer
Any Philly EB-2 November filer got interview notice? My case was transferred to NBC on Feb 22nd. Then responded to RFE and then received a courtesy letter to bring photographs next time. It's been more than 2.5 months, no update on interview schedule.

EAD Card
Hello Friends,

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
AOS - Category EB3, Texas Service Center.

- I-140 got approved = 12/2017.
- I-765 & I-485 application submission = 03/2018.
- Biometrics done = 04/16/2018.

I read in a forum that with Job offer, the process will get expedited. I included my job offer with applications. It's been a while I didn't receive any updates on my status. It shows "Case Received and Fingerprint fee was received", which was the case since the beginning. If you were in a similar situation, can you share me your experiences? I am eagerly waiting for my EAD card to start working.

Appreciate your time.

Interview Questions Regarding Current/Past Employments
Did any body have previous qualifying experience from outside the US that used towards PERM approval?
Were you asked for any additional documents during the interview? More than the original employment verification letters?

I appreciate if you share your experience.
