There has not been any movements recently in the Newark DO. Wonder what is happening. It is almost a week since my spouse got the "Sent to DO for interview" email.
Mine is at a standstill, stuck @ RFE status.

If you look a the thread 4 persons did FP on October 13 and few got email "Sent to DO for interview" and I got Online update” Your case has been transferred to a local office and an interview will be scheduled." I have not received Yellow letter. If the Local DO Newark has to generate the Interview letter then I think the files may have not reached Newark or they may have not opened File box from NBC or it can be due to Christmas holydays and few of Newark officer may go for vacations and the delay for interview notice as the interview notice is sent about 30-40 days advance of Interview Date. I still don’t know if NBC sends Interview Notice or Newark Local office is going to send Interview date letter.

If you and your spouse sent N400 same day in same envelope then normally get fingerprint same day and interview notice same day and interview date is same day. If one was derivative and other was primary for GC then they have to separate the A-file for each A# and in few cases I read the interview was on different dates.

Doesnt every alien have an A file and an A number? Nothing to do with derivative or stuff like that?

-----------------Yes every alien has A# but when dervitative I-485 is filed it is in the file of Primary I-485 file. They approve the derivative I-485 when primary I-485 is approved and then the file after production of Cards is sent to storage. They have to separate the A files for for each for N400 Interview.Husband interview may be conducted by officer D 9-30 AM (officer D will need husband A-file) wife Interview may be conducted by officer E 945AM and officer will need wife A-file.
Nothing to do with derivative or stuff like that?

Ginnu, Thanks for the clarification. Mine was a derivative GC and I guess that could be it - Even though our FPs were on the same date, same time. Let's see.

It could be and it could be not for the delay. I think the files from NBC are sent in box and each box may be having many files then the local office gets the file boxes and then somebody at local office has to take out the files from the boxes and then send Interview notice according to availability of officers in local DO. I read in past that file transfer from one service center to other service center can take 10-15 days. NBC may just update when the file is placed for transfer and I have seen that on NBC Receipt notice and NBC FP notice the date they printed is different and the day the mail sent date is different (you can check the date of posting on Envelope).
** Still the mystery remains why few get Interview date letter after 3-4 days after they see the USCIS update “file sent for interview” Or” file transferred to local office and your interview will be schedule”

Nice shikha. I am hoping my interview is before xmas too!
 
Just to inform that the interview letter is sent by NBC and they have posted the letter on November 17 and out side the envelope the Stamp is of November 17 and letter is sent from Zip 64063. I hope that NJGirl75, Saathia and Newark will get Interview letter today or tomorrow as we all have FP date 13 October.
