For the people that have received interview letters already, does this "View your appointment" page work? I am wondering if this is a good place to check if the IL gets lost in the mail or if its possible to check if you've been scheduled for interview before actually receiving the IL.

Hi guys,

Once the status of the case changed to ready to be scheduled for an interview, how long does it take to get the IL? Does anybody know? Anyone with a similar experience?

I will highly appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sero1033,

This is my experience: for every notice I have received from USCIS it took about 3-4 business days for the letter to arrive once the case was updated in My USCIS. If you just received this change in your case, wait a little longer and keep an eye on your mail. I use USPS's Informed Delivery which has proven to be very reliable for USCIS notices.

Awesome! Thank you @aar81. I will wait another 3-4 business days before any other action. I'm using USPS informed delivery too. Very handy app :) thank you again!

Has anyone stayed in line for one hour on a callback from Tier-2 officer?
I have been waiting for 1 hour. I don't know why they called me back if there were people already in line. They called me back 15 minutes after I hung up my call with Tier-1.

Same here. Received a call back in 15 minutes. Have been in hold for more than an hour now. did you eventually get through?

No, I hung up the phone. I thought I was going to wait forever if I didn't hang up. Lol
Yesterday was okay. Officer called me back in the afternoon and I literally just waited for 2 minutes on the line before speaking to her.
 
I spoke today with USCIS tier 1 first, asked for service reques and transfer to tier 2. Got a call from representative tier 2 in 1.5 hour. She said that she can't see any IL on the system, however she was certain that the bio letter has been sent on July 17 and even sent me a copy to my email. Bio is on august 5. I will update the spreadsheet.
 
Hi Everybody,

I just found out about an important development related to the furloughs and USCIS's fiscal situation for FY2020. Apparently after a revision of USCIS's budget projections for the current fiscal year there won't be a deficit but a surplus so USCIS is receiving pressure to stop the planned furlough starting in August. Since I can't paste the link here, you can search for the letter that Patrick Leahy and Jon Tester from the Appropriations Committee in the Senate sent to Chad Wolf and Joseph Edlow. I'll keep you posted if I find more information.

Also, notation of the said service request for me is also visible within tracking tool (when I log in):

Here is the letter two senators (Leahy and Tester) sent out requesting USCIS to take action today.

Same here and same ASC/FO!! The Tier 1 rep confirmed the bio letter was sent out on July 17th and the appointment itself is sometime early August. She would not send by email though, so will only believe when I see it!

That's very good news. Thank you so much.
 
More news in relation to the furloughs. Apparently USCIS will move forward with the furloughs if it doesn't receive additional funding from Congress. This what I found in a website called "Government Executive" a few minutes ago:

"The Trump administration is moving forward with more than 13,000 furloughs even though the impacted agency no longer expects to see a budget shortfall this fiscal year, according to lawmakers and internal emails sent to employees.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told employees it can only delay the mandatory unpaid time off for more than 70% of its workforce if it receives emergency funding from Congress, even though an uptick in revenue has opened the possibility that it can now cover its expected expenses through September."

We'll have to wait and see how Congress will react to this back and forth between them and the Administration. The silver-lining is that we'll be learning what the outcome will be in the next couple of weeks.

How could you manage to have tier-2 officer make a service request for you? What did you tell the officer? Because they all say that your case is within normal processing time and don't make a service request.
