AOS Philadelphia PD Dec 2017 -- interview scheduled
Hi folks,

Here's my story so far

Current status H1B, married to USC
Field office: Philadelphia, PA
Prepared all paperwork by ourselves, no lawyers. Can do it yourselves but need to be very diligent

Dec 2 2017 - mailed off i130, i130a, i-485, i-864, and i-131, and all supporting documents/evidence
Dec 5 2017 - prioritiy date
Dec 12 2017 - received NOA
Feb 5 2018 - fingerprints done (rescheduled twice due to travel plans. Sent covere letter each time)
Jun 5 2018 - Case ready to to be scheduled for interview email notice
Jun 9, 2018 - received courtesy letter regarding i-693 (didnt submit with original packet since expected processing time was over 1 year)
Jun 11 2018 - SR opened for i131 outside of normal processing time
Jun 16 2018 (approx) - i131 advanced parole approval notice received
Jun 17 2018 - raised CA for change of address (informed delivery and mail forwarding active)
Jun 28 2018 - CA responses received
Jun 30 2018 - medicals complete and i-693 ready
Aug 14 2018 (approx) - raised SR for advanced parole document to be resent since i never received one
Sep 12 2018 (approx) - SR status updated to response sent yet nothing received
Oct 19 2018 - raised SR again for advanced parole document not received
Nov 28 2018 - receiced email saying i-131 is under review and I should receive notice of other action shortly -- nothing received yet
Dec 6 2018 - received notice to appaear for initial interview (both myuscis and dhs.gov accounts still say case is ready to be scheduled...). Interview notice was sent to old address (mail forwarding active). I will ask to correct this on interview date.
Jan 10, 2019 - interview date

It seems like Philadelphia office is about 1 year behind on scheduling interviews (same with my colleague too).

I still havent received advanced parole document 6+ months after case was approved. I will check with interviewing IO about stamping my passport if AOS not approved on the spot. I have an H-1B but need stamping so want for have AP as backup for travel.

Typed on a phone so forgive my typos.

Good Luck and Cheers!
