Hello, Since both of us are October 2018 NYC filers and we both receive the courtesy letter I-693 at the same day. I would like to ask you if the letter you received has "1 of 3" at the bottom of the page if so was the number 3 crossed and handwritten the number 2 like mine.

Thank you,

On the pink slip? I don't believe there was anything handwritten but I will check tonight. Could you please tell me more precisely what kind of comment you are expecting from me on the doc? I need a context

Hi whats your pd and do you get online notifications or updates before you received it

[Enub4]

If I'm being honest with you, USCIS is a black box! Who really knows the way cases are processed! For instance, just this morning I got a notification that my interview was scheduled, but just last night got a notified that my case was ready to be scheduled for an interview. I really doubt an interview was scheduled overnight. I think that the online system is screwed up. So at this point I don't know what to expect but this, have low expectations, and if things move along quickly, you'll be better off. My two cents...

Congrats. Don't want to get your hopes up but I bet you will receive the appointment letter soon. I guess your interview date will be around 5/10.

I have seen a few EB cases that one day get the ready to schedule and next day scheduled.

My PD is 2/2/18. Mine is an employment-based case. I signed up for text notifications.

If the online system is not having a nervous breakdown, the notice should come in the mail next week. If it does, I'll update my timeline accordingly. My attorney has also seen EB cases move quickly. Let's wait and see.

Do you have a crystal ball? The interview notice came in today's mail, and lo and behold it's for 5/10, just over a month from today. Is it possible that USCIS can work efficiently when least expected? The immigration gods may smile upon me, yet, one more time...

Too bad my crystal ball doesn't give the lotto numbers

Good luck on your interview.

PD: 10/3/2018
EAD: Received 3/9/2019 (did not expedite)
INTERVIEW SCHEDULED: 4/4/2019

Just wanted to update my interview experience.
On April 4, 2019, my wife and I went for our Interview at USCIS District Office in NYC. Appointment time was 8:15am, we live in Queens and my wife works night shift, on 4/3/19, she couldn't take a day off from work, so she just tried to leave work super early because she works in Long Island NY and I have to pick her up then drive to Manhattan.
4/4/19 - picked up my wife at work 6:30am, we were on the road to Manhattan by 6:45am, major delays and traffic on all Expressways, but luckily we were able to park at ICON parking right across the USCIS office.

Long line at the inspection/security area, arrived at 8:05am, done with inspection went to the 9th floor, got our interview number but had to go down on the 4th floor as the interview will be conducted there. Checked in at 8:13am, IO called us at 8:15am on the dot. Greeted her good morning, went to her office, did took our oath, then she started asking my wife (sponsor) about me, like the usual questions, name, dob, name of parents, where and how did we meet, where I work then she turned to me and started asking me, about my wife, same questions, then she started asking me the YES and NO questions on my I485, she took my I-94 from my passport and told me that she will take it and I can no longer get it back, my I-94 expired 8 years.

After she asked me, she then requested for our joint documents, we brought our binder, and handed her i693, birth certificates, our marriage certificate from church and from the city, our passports, our joint bank statement which is only 9 months old, our joint credit card statements, health insurance me as dependent and our joint investment account which is 1 month old. She checked those paperwork then asked for pictures, we prepped a separate fastened folder for our pictures, she then looked at it, saw our wedding pictures, and paused asked us how big was the wedding, my wife answered, 200 guests she then said wow it's a big wedding, looks like you guys had fun!

After that, she let me sign the interview paper form. Then she said, okay, I will approve this, but it is only conditional because we just got married about 8 months ago, the green card will be mailed to me, then she said to follow her she'll just make a copy of my wife's birth certificate then we should be good to go -- she also asked us if we have any questions, which we don't have.... so after about 15mins, interview is done, she walked us out to the exit. Went to get our car then got a SMS and email notice from USCIS that New Card is Being Produced, 2 days after, another notification that i130 and i485 case approved, then 4/8/19 got 2 letters on the mailbox 797 NOA Approval Notice and today got a SMS, email and checked USCIS app that my GC was picked already and is expected to be delivered on Friday! GOD is GREAT! As long as you're happily married, legit, I guess everything will work out smoothly.
