March 2018 filers: let's share our experience!!

[mcc1022]

Hi I got the email saying "Employment based interview has been scheduled" on April 19, and not received a letter in the mail. My attorney also said it will come in a few days and no reason to panic. I am a C9 and mine should be a marriage based interview.

Same thing with me. Got the email April 16 saying employment based interview was scheduled and yesterday April/24 I received the notice in the mail. My interview is May/22. Don?t worry about what the email says, wait for the notice in the mail.

My timeline
PD:03/05/2018
Biometrics done:04/05/18
Interview scheduled for May/22 in Hartford CT

I?m kinda shocked how fast it?s happening but I?m happy and super excited
Good luck to you all

God is Good!

So here is my experience. It?s been amazing and fast. My case is marriage based, i?ve Been married since October/17 but I only applied in March, did the biometrics in April and for my surprise got my interview scheduled for May😱😱. I can?t believe that it?s been less than 2 months and I?ve got this far(this is something i?ve been praying for over 10years and I know the lord is working in my favor, he is the lawyer of the lawyers🙌&#127996.

Best of luck for your interview!! Time to collect documents!!

Ps.
as I said my 485 is ready to be scheduled, my I765 appears still in review while I130 has been accepted on March 14 and nothing has changed ever since.

What about I-130? Do you have any update on that one?

[sinoptola]

When the case is ready to be scheduled for interview, your file has been reviewed for completeness and accuracy, no evidence is missing, +/- I-693, background checks are done (in most cases). So yes, no RFEs. Once your file is sent to the field office, the ISO may or may not get a chance to review it before the interview. If there is an issue, ISO will deal with it when you come in for your interview. You can be 99% sure everything is good.

Yay! Thanks for the information UScitizenFilingforspouse. You are very resourceful. Thank you!

biometrics appointment delayed

Same here.

Same here waiting for biometrics appointment letter.

We are in the same boat.....Le's know when you received.

Its been a month and still waiting for the biometric appointment too.....

USCIS receipt date: 7 March 2018.
Fingerprinting fee processed: 17 March.
16 April called USCIS was told by representative that I should wait for another 2 weeks for biometric appointment letter.
It's been almost 7 weeks since I filed. Anyone facing delayed updates for biometrics? Texas Service Center

Yay I'm not alone!! Same I've been thinking about calling soon... I'll keep you updated when I get mine!

Hey all, I got my receipts for the three forms I submitted for my husband and I (i-485, i-130, and i-765) but I havent yet received any biometrics letter, and it's been about 8-9 days now..

The USCIS case tracker does say they processed my biometrics fee. Does this also mean they have sent out a bio letter as well and it's in the mail or something?

Ours came 21 days after we sent the package and 4 days after we got the emails and the texts.

So.... i called uscis and they told me i have to wait for at least 30 days from the day i got the i-797c.... -.-
he gave me the impression that he doesnt even know if the letter with the finger appointment was already processed or sent or not?

@chilli i think you are the only one who could call again and make some movement! lol ^.^

[mcc1022]

What about I-130? Do you have any update on that one?

No. The only update was for the I-485.

I wonder if there is an RFE coming up and tha'ts why nothing else is happening. I wish that's not the case of course. I'm so sorry about your situations, I hope for the best.

Service request raised

FYI. Called USCIS as it has been 30days since I received my I797 receipt in the mail but no appointment for biometrics.
CSR asked if I called previously, which I did call 2 weeks ago when wasn't 30days since I received I797, hence no action was taken.
CSR informed me that no biometrics appointment has been scheduled and raised a service request. I am to wait for another 30 days before calling back if I did not receive any updates by then.

I am in the same boat waiting for biometrics appoitment. My PD is March 30th..

Series of updates that have not made sense to me.

egov.uscis.gov website has "We are ready to schedule your interview"

Myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov has no update.

Got the email "Testing and interview"

"If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours."

So what does this mean? I guess months and months of wait? I am confused.

I would appreciate help in understanding what is happening.
