Thank you for updating the thread with your status.
It certainly gives us a bit of something to look forward to.
I notice that your interview notice came just before your "Case is Ready to be Scheduled for Interview" was first posted in 5/31/18 turned 1 year. And that's after an RFE which is identical to our situation.
Hopefully we can expect an interview notice too in about 2 months.
Your PD is only about 10 days earlier than ours to the Chicago Lockbox.
Good luck with the interview, all this waiting has probably made you super ready to slay an approval on the spot.
Godspeed.

I heard several cases with RD of FEB2018 are having interviews at San Francisco offices this month, hopefully the March 2018 filers will be scheduled soon. Keep each other updated!

OMG! That's a great news. My PD is 3/30/2018 and my Field Office is San Francisco. Well I was kind of hoping that I will get my interview around Feb of 2020 to reach my 2nd wedding anniv, but I guess this is still better. I better be working on printing hundreds of pictures as evidence.
Thank you so much for letting us updated.

Seattle filers in the thread - filers with December 2017 PD are getting interview notifications by email this month.
SO, that leaves much to the imagination but seems like March 2018 filers will have another 3 months wait before anything moves on the interview schedule front.
Keep the faith.

Hi everyone! I just want to address the message that I got my from attorney that San Francisco March filers have been getting their interview dates.
That means I might and hopefully get my notice soon since my PD is 3/30/18. So I'm slowly gathering my evidences. Goodluck to us all.

I am not that positive though - In March 2019 there were so many Dec 2017 filers getting interviews. Per the information in this forum it seems the stopped working on family based petitions for a while.... At this point I would prefer to wait for my 2 year anniversary ...removing conditions is taking up to 2 years...
