I-485 interview notice

No Title

I am a bit amazed myself, because people ahead of me have not received anything yet.
 
No Title

Bear in mind that rules changed on July 98. Not all the applicants will be interviewed (as opposed to applications filed before July 98). Only 2% of applicants randomly selected will be interviewed, and those that INS determine require an interview.
So, most of the applicants that filed after July 98 will be approved without interview. It would be a great new for all of us to know that INS is really moving along.
Please keep us posted, and good luck.

My receipt was filed at October 1, 1998. Are you saying that I might just get my greencard in mail one day. At the very least they should sent appointment for fingerprinting and new medical.

You will be fingerprinted before they can adjudicate your case. Since you file in 1998, then you probably enclosed your medical with your application. There is a chance that one will suffice.

annv,
If you are not among the 2% randomly selected (nor among those cases INS decide to interview)the next step is receiving a notice for fingerprinting. Then, after FBI clearance I believe the next step is receive an approval notice (the message in the AVM will change to "this case has been approved"). Then notification for passport stamping will follow.
So, it doesn\'t surprise that some people get interview notice and others that filed before don\'t get anything. The interesting thing is to know what is the filing date of applications that INS is actually processing. It could be that they are scheduling interviews for those cases that will have an "approvable status" in the next FY (to start next October 1st). I hope Bobbie will continue posting his experiences.
 
One more question for Bobbie
