Hi Everyone, I would like to add my interview experience.
My interview date was today, on 8/2 in Indianapolis/IN USCIS however, my Bio letter never showed up. During the interview, even before starting the interview, my FO handed over me my Bio letter dated 8/30 in Louisville / Kentucky saying ASCs are busy and this is the earliest they can find a slot. The interview was rather quick, around 15 mins, he did not check any ID or wanted to see any documents. He wanted to confirm my name, DOB, where I am from, my current address, and my profession. Later, he read through the same yes/no questions in Form I-485 and wanted me to answer them again. After that, he said everything looks good but he needs to wait for the results from my Bio appointment/background check, and then if everything is OK, he will approve the case. He said there is still visa availability and we do not need to worry about running out of available visas for the EU and Turkey.
I left the USCIS in Indy around 10:30 am and drove 2 hours South to try my luck walking in at Louisville ASC for Bio. The center was not busy and the lady in the front took my letter and passport, she did not say anything about my appointment being at a later date neither did I, so I was able to have my pictures and fingerprints taken in 10 mins. After everything is done, she said she noticed my appointment date being on another date at a very late stage after she started processing and she said If she had noticed earlier she would not have let me in, so I was lucky.
So, overall, I was able to take care of my Interview and Bio on the same day, 200 miles away from each other. My only question is if the FO will get notified once my background check is cleared or will I have to wait until my actual Bio appointment date passed for my FO to approve my case.?
I wish all the best to everyone in this stressful process and again thanks for this forum and to everyone who contributes to it, this is a great community.
