As far as LucyMO and her timeline, the question is whether she has a family based adjustment application. If she has an employment based adjustment application, she is dealing with the Texas Service Center, which on August 18, 2005 reported it was processing cases with a receipt date of July 1, 2004. Therefore, with a filing date of July 2004, it is reasonable that she has an interview date established for September 2005.
If however she does have a family based adjustment application, then the report by CIS for Atlanta is useless, as you point out. So, LUcyMO, we await your response
