Thank you! Yes, it's from H1B. I'm located at Mid-west. I think they speed up the process comparing to last year. I was ready to not hearing anything from them for half year. Hope your interview will get scheduled soon too!

My status online changed to “case is ready to schedule for interview” back on 21st Sept but no change since then…
Any ideas how much longer before it gets scheduled?
My expedited request for travel has not had any updates either, that was requested on 24th Sept.

AOS, married to USC. Submitted mid April 2021

Mine changed Spt. 9 to ready t shedule interview and then nothing. Can you share how did you got about expediting and what proof do you need to have? I really need to work but when I chatted with Emma the agent told me it takes up to 9 months now. Not sure if there is another option but to wait

It’s like watching paint dry!
When chatting to Emma you can ask to expedite and they ask for details of why you want to expedite. You do have an option to request an emergency meeting at your field office but you have to have pretty good reasons to do that.
I really have to start working too, it’s pretty rough just living off my wife’s income and not contributing!

My biometric appointment was completed on 8/20 and then the status is still “fingerprint fee received”!!! No matter how I ask Emma, the results were “your case is still processing”. What does that even mean? Don’t even know if it’s ready to schedule for an interview or not… and no news on combo card either……

[kasg7274]

My final update.
I received my actual GC today!
Good luck for everyone.
