The 'Ready to schedule Interview' does not mean that his interview date has been set. It will probably stay stuck in that status for a months.

from what I understand - it will be at least 6 months from "ready to be schedule" till we actually get the interview. So far no word on when it will be

Depending upon your field office's workload, the complexity of your case and of course, human factors, your interview may be scheduled within days of the "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" status update OR you may be stuck at that stage for months, a year or two in some places.

That being said, you are a 11/2017 filer. The Chicago Field office was also affected by the system glitch that prioritized 2018 cases over 2017 cases. It's very possible they're now resuming their work on the backlog from 2017.

06/01/18 Made a call to the number to track my case and request for expedite on grounds that my petitioner is ill, contacted Ombudsman, visited my local congressman office, submitted everything faxed, emailed, mailed and talked to everybody that cared to listen in those respective offices, keeping my cool all this time but the truth is, i am not calm, i am thinking of quitting this whole process and going back to my country...i am getting responses from ombudsman and local congressman office but nothing reflects on the process, its been weeks, I hope, pray crossing my fingers that something will come up in the coming few days, I cant raise another SR as 1month isn't over yet

06/01/2018 On June 1, 2018, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T1S1000000000MSC, was assigned to an officer for response.

Several conflicting answers from the offices on the status of my case, and decided to quit calling them all together,

06/21/2018 congressman Office: (what USCIS wrote them)Thank you for your inquiry regarding this constituent?s immigration matter. This case will be routed for expedited processing. Once this case is reviewed, your constituent will receive a decision or notice of further action. Due to the extremely high volume of expedite requests for this case type, there are numerous cases involving exigent or humanitarian issues already in the expedite queue, and we are unable to provide a specific timeframe for the expedited review. The strict enforcement of the expedite criteria means that all cases sent for expeditious handling are urgent, and we assure you that this case will be adjudicated as soon as possible

06/30/2018 Ombudsman: The Ombudsman's Office hasn't received a response to our below communication, but, given the circumstances and the medical documentation, we have contacted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding your EAD application. We will notify you when we receive information from USCIS.

Not in Chicago, but same here. Got my "Your Interview Has Been Scheduled" yesterday, just a few days after the backdated notification that we'd been Ready To Be Scheduled since April 18!

Don't want to get you too excited buuuuuuttttttttt I think you'll be scheduled very soon!

I got my "your interview has been scheduled" a couple days ago, my PD was early July.
Not sure how long I'll be waiting for the interview to be scheduled...
The processing time just updated not too long ago, and Chicago was 5-27.5 months on i-485, and now it updated to 11.5-25.5 months....so might be a long wait who knows. These processing times change so much..

Interview was scheduled!!!

Hi everyone, just a quick update, Chicago filer here, PD November 2, 2017. Just got a text message saying "we scheduled an interview for your form I485". I checked online and it didn't say the date of the interview. I guess I'll just wait for the mail. At least some updates from 2017 Chicago office!!
