[Udolpho]

Hi everybody-

Just wanted to post my timeline for reference, and give hope to people who are still waiting.

Field office: Chicago

Application: marriage to USC

Package Sent: 07/06/18
PD: 07/09/18
Biometrics Notice Received:07/24/18
Received RFIE: 08/01/18
Biometrics appointment: 08/08/18
Biometrics received by USCIS: 08/09/18
Reponse to RFIE received by USCIS: 08/21/18
Case Ready to be Scheduled an Interview: 08/28/18
Interview was Scheduled: 08/31/18
INTERVIEW DATE: 10/04/18 (this date is the one that eventually ended up on my card, so they approved it on the same date)
Interview Complete and Case Held for Review: 10/10/18 (I have a separate post on my interview experience)
New Card is Produced/Case Approved: 10/10/18

In total the process took 100 days counting from PD 7/9 (if my math is correct).

I learned so much from reading people's posts here, especially the interview supports that people prepared. You are all so helpful when I posted questions, and I'm very grateful for that.

I wish everybody good luck on this journey, and hope you all receive good news very, very soon.

Thank you!

Thats great congratulations!!! I have a similar timeline as yours, however its been 4 weeks now since my interview, and no updates from USCIS, getting super freaked out.

same boat as you!

Thats great congratulations!!! I have a similar timeline as yours, however its been 4 weeks now since my interview, and no updates from USCIS, getting super freaked out.

I also had my interview about 3.5 weeks ago, we were told we would be approved on the spot, but alas, no updates and nothing from USCIS yet...

Congratulations!! This timeline is impressive. Just curious, did you apply for EAD/AP. My husband is also on a H1B visa so we did not. Don't know if that will speed up the process at all or not, but clearly hoping it will!

I actually did apply for EAD/AP, my H1B was expiring, so we thought just in case. Good luck!!

I think maybe it just depends on the office? Since you are approved on the spot I really wouldn't worry about it, they are always slow in processing stuff. Hope you get yours soon!
