I have no idea what the instructions are for obtaining the original copy of your b/c from your country. Follow the instructions as laid out on the Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country page for further guidance as applicable to your country.

I will update this forum with any comments regarding our Bio appointment once completed. We are not planning on attempting a walk-in, just appearing for our scheduled time on the 13th of July. I will also update this forum with comments from our interview.
Thanks again Mom and everyone else for their comments.
For me it was the same day, but I know others who did not see the update for a few days. It depends.
it hasn’t even been a week! They don’t send the mail the second they schedule it (even with an online account it can take a couple of days to show up there) and moreover there has been a long weekend in between, so it is actually only the 3rd working day since then. Have some patience for the mail to arrive!
I'm looking forward hearing interview report from you. because my case is looks like your case.Thank you!

How long the back ground check gonna take? Few days or weeks? Is it check abroad or in the USA?* BACKGROUND CHECKS *
For anyone who is interested in reading about the internal departmental processes re: background checks, I stumbled across this 290 page manual online last night (November 2020 edition, so hopefully it's still current).
I tried to post the link below but had some issues, so you'll need to remove any spaces in the URL when you paste it into your browser:

BONUS: it might also cure insomnia - my eyes were definitely glazing over reading it!
yes, I'm applying for adjustment of status. and thanks for the answer.
Thank you!
Yes! Hopefully you will receive your interview letter soon.
I just tried to walk in. It was very crowded. They ask me why? is it urgent? I explained but they said no is not urgent
Not exactly true. There is a tiny chance that you can get your bio the same day of interview if your ASC and FO are in the same building. This does not mean that you will not receive the bio letter.
This is not exactly how the process works. Please be careful with the stuff you write so as to not mislead people.
Don't stress the time difference. You most likely will be interviewed together.
You don't need to do anything else. If the bio letter shows up and it happens to be scheduled for before the interview date, you attend the bio first. Take a look at the FAQ section of the AOS spreadsheet for more on receiving the IL before or without the bio being scheduled or completed.
A walk-in will not be entertained if the ASC is crowded/busy. People typically target when the ASC is not busy when attempting a walk-in.
