Hmmm... after the whole process of getting a green card started, I've noticed that I'm very happy when each weekend is over, because new week brings new hopes that THIS is going to be that special week when I'm going to get good news regarding my GC process... Am I crazy or what? 
New week = new hopes

So, it's time for UPDATE for me as well!!!!!!!!!! My case status just got changed to Testing and Interview and it is scheduled for August 29, 2011!!!!!!!!!
It's an online notice for now, but I guess "real" notice will come in the mail in couple of days!
Whoo-hoo!!! Couldn't be more happier!!! And the funny thing is - my semester starts on August 31, so I will not have to miss any days at school (considering that everything goes smooth and I will not have a 2nd interview or smth).
Now I'm wondering what they'll ask me. I was hoping to get my GC without interview since I'm 5 years married, with 2 kids and was staying legally in the country for entire 6 years. I have 2 things on my mind - it's either an age difference between my husband and I (which is big) or that I changed my visa from B2 to F1 (I've heard that they don't like it). I honestly didn't plan on staying in the U.S., but after coming here and taking some ESL courses I really loved it and decided to stay. Hopefully they will not make any problems for me because of that
Anyway, good luck to you all and I bet updates for all of us will start rolling soon Btw, I got my message at 8am of a local time (which is the same as in NYC) and I'm wondering when in the world they start working that they updated it so early in the morning

ThePandya, thank you!
Thanks for the information - I will try to look for it.
So check this out guys - I just got interview letter in the mail I guess they messed up something online saying that notice was mailed to me on July 25 (which is today), because the letter is dated July 21 and I got e-mail notice and actual letter on the same day! Weird! But no complains here
I have a question for those who already received their interview letters - did you get a loooong checklist of documents you have to bring? Like, for example, they want my birth certificate and I already mailed it to them with a translation. I'm not sure if I should pay and get another translation or just say on the interview that I already sent it to them I will appreciate any answers (which I bet I can find on the thread about interviews, but mainly I'm interested if it's only me who got the long list of documents to bring or is it the same for everyone?).

I guess they were just slow to update online.
I also got a long check list of documents...and I brought all of them...not sure whether I needed to do that (and they didn't ask for them in the interview) , but it definitely gave me a peace of mind

Thank you for your answer! It's good to know that I'm not the only one with a long checklist. Congratulations on (almost) finished journey of getting a green card!!!
Yes 2much2handle, there is a long checklist because those letters are computer generated and they didn't update it since ancient times. It actually freaked me out when I got my letter because I expected it to have security features like watermarks etc. but the letter was printed on regular paper. You'll just have to bring original documents to the interview.
My IL is the same it has the standard laundry list of stuff we already sent in. It is good to bring it all with you in case they wanna check the originals against the copies we sent in .
Or worst case scenario they lost something , then you have it right there to avoid any delays.I am sure we all feel the same way that even an extra day or two delay is too long at least i do lol...
To take it one step further make copies of all the required documents and bring BOTH original and copies with you.
Because just as the IL states if they need documents for their records they will keep ORIGINALS if needed .
I preffer to keep all originals with me .

Can you elaborate on what things they want you to bring to the Interview? I am in process as well and that would be helpful to me as well so I can start gathering them. Most of them I already have but just in case.....Thanks and good luck.

Thank you! I can't find any updates (or any timeline) on your case. I assume that you are a June filer since you created this thread. At what point are you now? Just curious
Good thinking! I'm planning on doing the same! I'll just have to spend around $30 to get translation of both my husband's and mine birth certificates. And we are getting them from NYC since there is an agency where we translated them originally haha But it's all worth it
Thank God I have time to gather all the documents. Tomorrow is my pharmacology final and then I'll be good to go with gathering any required documents YAY! Exciting So, it's time for UPDATE for me as well!!!!!!!!!! My case status just got changed to Testing and Interview and it is scheduled for August 29, 2011!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!! I'm sure everything will go smoothly. Good luck! I am anxiously waiting for an update. And I agree, new week= new hopes
Hi! I see you are already set for an interview, congrats!
I have one more question for you regarding the RFE, my response was delivered yesterday, July 25; in your case, how long did it take them to touch your case again?
Goodluck to all!
