My experience
Not a regular user but benefited by this forum. So here is my timeline/experience
EB2/ROW
Service center: NBC
FO: Manchester NH
Non-concurrent filed on 7/20/18
FP/Bio: 8/21/18 (No change in online status, no finger print review completed status)
Pink courtesy letter for no medicals: 11/19/18 (issued on 11/14/18)
Wife EAD/AP approved on 11/20/18
My EAD/AP approved on 12/4/18
Ready to interview: 01/25/19
IV scheduled: 1/26/18
Notification received a week later,
IV on 3/6/18
IO was very nice, took out 5 y/o daughter with us. IO made her comfortable first, gave her papers, crayons, her blanket to sit on and chair. Then formal proceedings including oaths and attorney waiver signatures (interviewed both together). Environment was very informal yet professional. She had couple of confusions but i provided documentations and she was happy. Also told her about speeding tickets. She made a note.
Whole process took about 1 hr. Told us at the end that she is happy and satisfied and would recommend us for approval. Has already requested the visa for us (i think before start of IV). She said she just hav to complete some administrative processing and iff all is good, you should receive notification within an hrs or so. Got a notification of new card production within an hr.
**** **** My take home points are:
Never fret on no change in status, it causes anxiety otherwise they are not accurate. If you are receiving regular updates, that is good but if there are no updates, then no worries, this does not mean that your case is not moving. Our status changed from finger print fee received to ready to schedule IV.
**** *** Courtesy letter most likely means that the review is completed and you are very less likely to receive any REF. However, when will you get IV notification after receiving letter depends on you FO. Wait may vary from weeks to months. I waited 10 weeks before receiving IV notification.
Good luck everyone.
