Your timeline won't help anyone except to yourself if you don't put the city/state you live in or the location of your local USCIS office. I mean why should anyone read or pay attention to your timeline if it won't even help a bit for them to give a clue to what they could expect in their case because each USCIS local office timeline is different?

Looking through the posting it appears that for a few people whose cases were transferred to CSC received an approval without interview. So hope for the best. One of them was "tinkerbelluk" and another "bijujoseph99". My mothers case has now been transferred to CSC. Keep us posted.

being transfered to csc almost always means card production without interview. They tend only to send parents and marriaged based applicants who came in on the fiance visa over there. average timeline is about a month to month and half after transfer to approval, unless you get n RFE or the adjudicator feels a interview needs doing.

That is useful information. Do you think that once the case is transferred to CSC, there is a slim chance of getting an RFE? I am presuming that initial review of forms / evidence / documents is done at NBC before the case is transferred.
 
Got Interview Letter today!!

Update on my case. I got my interview letter today. My interview is scheduled on Wednesday, August 12,2009 in Morning. Just wondering how are others doing?

I just returned from my vacation, just to find out, good news in the mail, that my

Congratulation...and I'm glad to see you approved for the green card. Your mom may prepare herself now for the citizenship by going thru one of my sticky threads on a citizenship forum which I posted many years' ago. Even though it's too far for her to apply for the citizenship, yet still it's good to know so that she would be fully prepared by the time she would be eligible. Just ask her not to forget to file tax returns even though she might not need to file it based on her income if she wishes to file for the citizenship in the future.

Take care...
