It doesn't look like there's any Portland OR on the timeline spreadsheet, so I can't answer your question. If you and other users add your timeline and diligently update your progress on the spreadsheet, it will be a lot easier for everyone.
Are you "ab" on the spreadsheet?
Yes that is mine
Timeline spreadsheet updated (still missing "Status" you applied from though).Hello again Mom,
Would you mind adding this link on my behalf (regarding our interview experience) to the spreadsheet for me please?.....before it gets lost in the feed.
Also, could you please add our Card Production Ordered Date as 07/21/2021?
Thank you and I will update you with the remainder of the dates once received.
Thanks for confirming. Not sure why you decided to list yourself as 'ab' though. It is a lot easier for users to cross reference and support one another when forum ID matches what is on the spreadsheet
I entered to excel first then joined the forum later. I wasn't sure names were matching, also forum didn't accept 2 chars as a member name since that is not unique
I received my biometric and interview letters from NBC at the same day.
Q. Is it common for an Interview to be scheduled BEFORE the BIO as we get close to the end of FY?
Background -
Late last week I was notified via USPS Informed Delivery that a letter is on its way from USCIS (Field Office mailing address in NY)
Today I was notified that a letter is on its way from USCIS (National Benefits Center mailing address in MO)
I am out of town until early August so unfortunately can't access the mail yet
I understand from Tab 12 of the AOS Spreadsheet that the NBC schedules BIO appointments and the Field Office schedules Interviews (screen shot below).
When I saw the first letter notification last week, I contacted a live agent via EMMA to confirm if my BIO has been scheduled (they confirmed it was scheduled for 8/16).
When I saw the second letter notification today, I contacted a live agent via EMMA again to check if my Interview has been scheduled (they could not see an Interview scheduled, and told me they are not scheduled before the BIO).
So now I am wondering why I have two letters arriving from two different USCIS addresses if only my BIO appt is scheduled.
Does USCIS send a letter if you asked for a Tier 2 callback by any chance? (I did that last week and was told it would take up to 30 days).
Or could Tier 1 agents on EMMA not be able to see scheduled Interviews if the letter only recently went out? If anyone has received an Interview notice before their BIO, I may need to get a neighbor to scan these letters to me so I can double check if I need to get back to NY earlier than planned... was hoping I could rely on the EMMA live agents having access to this info though!

Oh! I seeI entered to excel first then joined the forum later. I wasn't sure names were matching, also forum didn't accept 2 chars as a member name since that is not unique
I will call tomorrow. I will also fill out the sheet.
Thanks for your answer and time
Since you are not currently in the US, you are not eligible to file for AOS. Entering the US on a NIV with the preconceived intent of filing AOS is considered a fraudulent use of the NIV.
I did ask someone at the front desk and he didn't seem to know anything about the DV process. he said that my interview will be scheduled after the bio is processed, and told me to call customer service to ask for expedited processing. not very helpful! will wait a couple of days
I saw your response to this mom, that this is normal - is this something that needs to be filled out by the applicant or do they fill that out for you when you go there and do the biometrics?
Applicant fills out the form.
Hi, I just did biometrics today at Seattle ASC/FO. We were expected to fill out the AIW or else when we reach the front of the line, we will be asked to fill it out and go back to the end of the line.
You fill it out
Always monitor your progress as we have the same FO
Haven't received anything yet.
