I'm assuming you are current for September - right? So you should receive your bio this week. If I were you I would be arranging an infopass for mid to late August. By that time you should have completed your biometrics and hopefully your background check will be back. In a week or so, check with KCC that the FO requested your case papers. At the infopass you could ask them to schedule an appointment as soon as possible in September and make sure they understand the urgency.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I am current on July (from Europe). I sent my AOS package on July 3rd. Unfortunately I did not know that I could do it in advance. How can I know what is my field office?

Thank you and Simon:
So, the 50,000 is only for main applicant?
Do we need to do effort to make having an interview earlier?

Nope !
50k visas are including derivatives.
About your question on how or need to accelerate your process, I think the peeps on the AOS thread will be more helpful tha me.
Ps: I got no clue about AOS process.

Well I was told the interviews a SF are being scheduled for September so as long as that is early September you'll be fine...
Simon:
But I am not sure we will have an interview in the beginning of Sep.
Is it safe now for AS??
So, what do you recommend that I can ask to have an interview earlier again to them?

I checked it on the link that Mom posted in the spreadsheet, and the zips 61820, 61821, 61822 and all others in urbana-champaign-savoy have Chicago, IL as the FO!

i will let my sister know if she hasn't receive an IL by aug 10 that she should start freaking out! from what you said, it doesn't seem that there are enough visas until sept 30.
Hi guys,
I was trying to schedule an infopass while I am waiting for the damn(!) interview letter, when I came to this question:
What is the difference (if any) between a Local Office and a Field Office?
When I use the link mom provided in the spreadsheet I find the Local Office page, but when I search for "office locator" in the USCIS website I find the Field Office page. The descriptions on the associated pages are the same but the county I live in is listed under different offices when I try each of the link listed below.
Local Office link:
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO
Field Office link:
http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices
I really appreciate your help with this...

Oh yeah, that's USCIS at it's finest for ya!
Both the Local Office and Field Office are basically the same. What I suspect in your case though is that they prpbably did some reshuffling FOs.In this case, the best way of finding out your exact FO is to go to the infopass page itself, it will ask you to type in your Zip code following which it should bring up the FO that currently serves your county.

lol ...... I told ya Simon, you should be fine.
This is not something I've personally experienced, but what I read about this (if memory serves me well) had to do with people registering with USPS as the occupant of the home and not putting up their name on the mail box. But stop stressing about that, for now the concern is getting your IL

Not quite sure how you searched or contacted your congress person. You should have more than one congress person, and at least one house rep. When you type in your zip code/address the search site should bring up a list of the applicable people, click on the names which should take you to each person's personal website with a description of what they're able to do for you.

That's what I thought too. Thanks a lot Mom
One more question: In scheduling the infopass appointment, what is the purpose of the visit? Do I need service on a case that has already been filed or do I just need information?

Hello everyone,
I just came back from the interview. The interview was straightforward and the interviewer was friendly. He interviewed my husband and I at the same time even though we have different appointment times. The interview lasts about 20 minutes. He asked the yes and question on the form 485. He confirmed our address and phone number. He asked the original of passports and the birth certificates. He asked some other questions like if I have worked in the U.S, what types of visas I have had. He asked my husband the same questions. He also asked for my son birth certificate. At the end he said everything looks good but he is waiting for my file to come from KCC and once they receive it they will make a decision. Also, he said once I receive my approval letter, I should expect to receive my GC within 2-3 weeks. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we receive our GC soon.

If I were you I would contact KCC to check if and when the file has been requested - it should have been sent already. Having said that it sounds like your interview went well and I suspect you will find things get approved very soon....
