Seattle filers ,let's gather here....

[ftsoh]

Looking at the USCIS Processing Time, Yakima and Spokane is just as bad as Seattle for family based I-4*5. Portland seems to process March 2018 cases though.

I also wonder if USCIS already started case transfer or they are simply planning to do it at this point and it will take months to implement.

Any SEATTLE-based filers who received notices to interview in other WA field offices? Like Spokane or Yakima. May be even Portland?
Will appreciate your information.

Well.. just had my interview and was approved on the spot
interview went really smooth, and the officer was extremely friendly. Think we spend more time talking about our kids than the application itself

Big Congratulations!

I just received an email notification that my interview has been scheduled. Hoping they send the notice to the correct address - I updated it with them 14 months ago.

That's awesome! I remember we talked a few times in the beginning stages of our application! Congrats and I hope your interview will go smooth!

[ewilliams]

Hi all!!

I'm a Seattle filer too.. we filed December 2017 and this coming Monday we finally have our interview! Fingers crossed

[gaps0214]

Extremely similar to my situation. PD December 20th 2017, EAD expired mid April 2019 now without AP. Case ready to be scheduled for an interview in mid-March 2018. I applied for EAD renewal in NOVEMBER 2018 and still haven't received a new card. Receipt date for case inquiry is currently July 12 2017 according to the USCIS website. Is there anything I can do to get this going? What's the cause of these insane delays? This experience is extremely frustrating.

I guess you'll be getting your interview notice soon as well as yeahbuddy has in this Seattle thread.
Keep us posted.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
Now its just a matter of getting the Interview NOA by mail, it can never come too soon :-)
Please do find time to keep us posted in the thread about the interview and the waiting time from email notification to actual receipt of the notice in the mail, we'd appreciate it very much.
Remember there is a sticky note on top of all the threads in the forum about the documentation organized by others who have successfully hurdled the interview I really think its a good resource.
All the best and Godspeed.

I feel you are about to get your notice anytime soon.
Hang in there and let us know when you get your interview notice.
Good luck.

Correct, Seattle filer, PD mid-Dec 2017.

My EAD card had an expiry date of the end of April 2019. I have received the NOA for the renewal, so it's valid for another 180 days, but now no AP. I wish I'd sent my renewal in a little earlier. I didn't realise the automatic extension didn't apply to the AP.

Really hoping the interview notice comes soon. At the same time, my 2 yr wedding anniversary is in July, so also wouldn't mind waiting until after that so we get the 10 year GC!

eta: my status changed to 'case is ready to be scheduled for an interview' in March 2018.

Looks like Seattle AOS’s lower end went down a little—16.5 to 13.5 months. That’s a good sign, I guess.

Any Seattle Filers in March 2018 in the thread?
Any one received an interview notice yet?
Just crossed 14 months since PD last week and wondering if anyone got lucky with an interview notice already.
Will appreciate reading from you.
