You probably may not need it. However, it wouldn’t hurt to have one on hand when you go for the interview, just in case.

Please pay attention to what you’re reading and stop getting yourself confused. I already stated doing the medical close to when the AOS package gets sent is the solution. The AOS process spreadsheet also says the same thing more or less.
I merely explained the difference between when the package is considered “received” and “delivered”, and you interpreted that to mean your medical exam may subsequently not meet the two months validity requirements even if you complete the medical exam a day before sending your package???
Completing the medical exam a couple of days before mailing the AOS package is fine.

Have you looked at the timelines on the spreadsheet?

Good afternoon! Would you mind sharing if USCIS notified you in any way that they mailed you an interview letter? Text message/email/case stutus update?

Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if there’s any other way (besides getting a letter in the mail) to find out if my interview has been scheduled?
The reason why I’m asking this question is because I live in a brand new apartment complex which is not even properly listed on the maps yet and I always have some kind of issues with the mail and packages being delivered to me... They literally mix things up all the time when I get a mail which is not mine and someone else is getting my mail. It’s really frustrating. Especially when I’m waiting on an interview letter now!
It’s been a while since they checked my fingerprints. Last update I received was that my fingerprints were checked and my application is currently being processed by National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, Missouri... It’s been a little over 3 weeks since then. Last week I called USCIS customer service in hopes of asking if they ever mailed anything to me lately, after explaining them my situation and an issue I have with my mail box I got a response from a gentleman saying “I don’t know what you mean by diversity visa program. That’s the first time I hear about it. Are you applying for i485 through your job or family?” After I said again that I’m applying through diversity visa program he put me on hold for about 10 min, and once he returned he said “so I just googled about diversity visa program and you actually need to contact US department of state for that at USA.travel.gov...” after that I obviously realized that I’m not going to get any answer from him so I thanked him for his time and hanged up. While I understand that I gotta be patient about my interview being scheduled, Im just really loosing my sleep because of that mail thing. And constantly thinking how it might get delivered not in my mailbox and someone will just toss it because it’s not their mail...

Why don t you appply for the informed delivery with usps? It helps a lot.

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely give it a try!
No, USCIS did not notify us. We received the interview letter in our mail. Our case status still says "Fingerprint fee received".
Did you each receive an interview letter? My husband and I just received just one with both our names on the same letter.

Some FOs schedule the interview appointment like this, this is not unusual. You most likely will be interviewed together though regardless of the different appointment times.

This is also the normal practice for some FOs.
Yes we received 2 individual letters.
Awesome thank you.

Yes of course. One form per person.
Seems like you haven’t spent some time going over the AOS process spreadsheet - you really should, for your own sake.

and please read the actual instructions for the i485. They say clearly right near the start “Whether you are a principal or derivative applicant, you must file your own Form I-485” https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr.pdf
Yes this forum is here to help people and answer questions, but a few minutes first looking at easily available resources before coming to ask questions saves time for everyone.
Hi all,
I've completed my interview yesterday. It went good but with a lot of yes/no questions all from the I-485 form. It took around 40 minutes. the officer didn't ask for any documents but a Passport, SS card, and School ID. No photocopies were required to present. At, the end of the interview he gave me a paper states that "You have just completed your interview. USCIS is unable to complete your case at this time. Your case is being continued until a final decision can be made." "Your case is being held for review".
He also said we will mail you the final decision in the mail in 2-3 weeks.
At night, I received a text/ mail states that "
Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed". Has anyone encountered such a response? Also, what does it mean that "My Case Must Be Reviewed"?
Thank you all for the great support.
P.S.: I have updated the timeline.

Yes this is not an unusual response. It could mean a myriad of things from background check is still pending, to your IO doesn’t have the authorization for approval and his decision needs to be reviewed by his supervisor.
