How long is the wait between receipt of courtesy letter for i693 and Interview?

[Udolpho]

Hi - I noticed that usually people receive the interview scheduled notice not long after they receive the courtesy letter for i693, is that true? How long do people usually wait? I just got my letter, and below is my timeline. I wonder if I should got get my medical right now, but if I have longer to wait, then maybe I should hold off on that...?

7/9: PD
7/16: USCIS accepted fingerprints
8/1: USCIS Mailed RFIE
8/21: USCIS Received response to RFIE
8/28: Case Ready to be scheduled interview
8/31: Courtesy Letter for i693

Take a look at the March 2018 filers thread and read folks? signatures. You?ll quickly notice the times are SUPER variable because each field office has a different speed. I am personally waiting until I get my ?your interview has been scheduled? notice with date before I do my medical exam, to ensure it doesn?t expire. The only variable is if a local authorized doctor is not available in those four weeks leading up to your interview, but I would imagine in most larger cities the chance of that happening is very hard.

Thank you for your reply! I just got the update online this morning that my interview is scheduled! I'm going to schedule my medical as soon as possible, fingers crossed that I can get it in the next week or so, in time for the interview.

I would wait until your interview is scheduled. The wait really depends on the office. It was relatively fast in my case (see timeline)
