I got email reply from USCIS today, "Your application is still pending interview scheduling. We regret that we are not able to give you a time frame for when we will schedule your interview. Once the interview is rescheduled, an interview notice will be mailed to the address of record".

My birth certificate is in my home country, so If I have chance for the interview then is Birth certificate compulsory in the interview? I used scan copy for i485, because of Covid 19 I am having trouble to obtain it.

The expectation is to attend the interview with the original copy of any document submitted in support of the AOS application. The IO may or may not request to see the original version.

I'm sure this question has already been asked. But I'm starting to get nervous about the date.
I sent the lockbox in March, have the NOA. But like everyone else, I haven't received a biometrics letter or interview letter yet.
I lost my job in April so I'm AOS. What happens if the letters don't come in time? Does the AOS status end on September 30. Is that the date I would have to leave the country or is there a grace period? Gosh I hope this works out for us all. Fingers crossed.

The person speaking said that ASCs will have a phased reopening of ASCs will start on July 13th. This is in contradiction with what the tier 2 officer said yesterday during my call (reopening on July 22nd).
This is quickly becoming too much to bear.

Didn't you say June 22 (next Monday)?

Yes. Yes I did.
At this time they are holding a webinar, and insist that the ASCs will reopen STARTING on July 13th.
"...phased reopening in the weeks following July 13th"

I was there all along. They only specified that they are giving priority to naturalization ceremonies. nothing else.
It has been a cascade of bad news, one after another.
Nothing about DV.

"[...] for what we have seen, applicants might not receive a biometric letter for several weeks after the ASCs have reopened"

I think it will boil down to the point of how many DV based AOS cases do they have. I think it's smart to give them a call after some time to check up with them where the case is and maybe even make remark about time sensitivity of the cases (even though they are supposed to be aware of that)
I've heard that one.
Well even with that, we still have plenty of time. We have a little bit over 3 months to finalize the process
For me it is even less as my family is outside the US and it is no way to bring they now, so they must go through follow to join process which also takes time :'(I've heard that one.

Are they impacted by the ban, if they are part of the FTJ process?
EDIT: I'm kind of hoping that for the last minute interviews we might get a chance to get the biometrics done at the actual FOs.

Wish I had your positivity. My hope is starting to dwindle tremendously.
