It’s normal for them to issue notices like that, but go together and they will interview you together
Got a call yesterday at 2.46pm from my field office. The officer told me that they want to schedule my interview on 9/3. I said that I will not be in the town then and if it is possible - could they consider another date. The office said she will check and call me back. Never heard from them since. What shall I do? Should I get nervous about not calling me back? I already called twice to the call center - they dont see any undates nor an interview being scheduled

You should have jumped at the opportunity, and do whatever it takes to be back in town to attend the interview on the offered date. You can't do anything meaningful at this point, except to wait while keeping your fingers crossed and hoping they're able to accommodate your request for another date before the end of the FY. It is quite normal for the call center agents to not see anything about the interview.
got it, thank you. I left the request to call me back at the call center (they submitted a ticket on my name), does it usually work?
is your case on timeline sheet ?

Sometimes. When it works, the call back in this case will be from a Tier 2 agent who most likely will have no input into the interview scheduling, and not necessarily from the IO that tried to schedule the interview.

It would be nice if you could add your own case progress into the Timeline also. You wouldn't have had anything to compare yours with if the referenced line 74 person or anyone else from the same FO as you did not include their case progress on the spreadsheet.
sure, I will add my timeline

The applicant, more often ends up being scheduled for a much more later date. When the IOs call or email an applicant, they are trying to help the applicant by bringing them in sooner, especially when there's an open slot due to a cancellation from some other applicant.
That's me. They called me yesterday at 2.53pm and offered me 9/3 interview at 9am. I immediately agreed and they said they will send the letter in the mail.

Congratulations. So happy to know this year's selection is shaping out much more better for you than that of 2023. I'm guessing the NY FO directly calling applicants under the jurisdiction at this point, and addressing DV based applications promptly is as a result of the mess they created back in 2023. I wouldn't be surprised if one or a couple of FO workers lost their jobs as a result.
Best of luck this time around!

Hello everyone. I still didn't hear anything from the FO in Houston and submitted a request through a congressman. The first time they answered that my case was in the NBC and today they sent this answer:
"Good morning Mr. Alevato,
Thank you for your inquiry on behalf of your constituent Ms.***** regarding the pending Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (MSC2******)
According to USCIS records, your case has been scheduled for interview or the case will be adjudicated with an interview waiver. The Houston Field Office is aware of the diversity visas deadline at the end of the fiscal year which is September 30, 2024. All diversity visas will be adjudicated prior to this deadline. No further action is needed from you. You will be notified of your interview appointment if one is necessary."
This does conclude the inquiry at this time. Should you ever need assistance in the future please do not hesitate to reach out.
Best,
I don't understand, I don't see any changes in my personal account and I haven't received a letter/call with the appointment of the interview date. What should I expect next?

It is normal to not see any update until after the case has been adjudicated. The response you received indicates your FO is aware of your application as a DV based application. You can follow-up with your congress-person's and request they assist with obtaining the IL details if the interview has been scheduled as you're yet to receive any IL. You can also contact a USCIS agent via Emma to find out if they're able to see your IL/details.
p.s. you're missing some pertinent details on the Timeline spreadsheet - can you please update those? You can guesstimate any of the dates you no longer remember.

Start by adding your case to the Timeline spreadsheet as requested in early July.
OK I'll do but don't you have any advice for me?
