Processing time for Local transfer cases in Seattle,Wa

My case was transferred on Mar 17 2003. Hopefully waiting to get an interview soon.

Please post if anyone gets an interview.
 
My I-485 was transferred to Seattle INS on 03/07.

RD 10/18
ND 10/21

Any idea how long does it take to recieve the interview letter..??
 
Posting as in the other thread:
We had our interview done today. We originally recd our transfer notices on Jan 10th of this year. The interview was scheduled for today (Mar 18th). We recd our interview notice on Jan 27th. The procedure was fairly straight forward. The INS Officer asked us a couple of simple questions such as when me and my wife met and how long was it before marriage etc. The questions will vary depending on why they have called you for an interview. We got our passports stamped the same day about 1hr after the interview process was over. The interview itself lasted about 20minutes. The list of documents that you would want to take depends on the reason for interview. In my case, we took docs that prove our cohabitation including utility bills, joint bank accounts, credit cards etc. The officer we had did *not* ask for even a single document. The whole process was done by a couple of hours.

Got interview letter yesterday for me and my wife. Interview on 4/24. Was surprised, AVM/online still is showing old status "Fingerprint. ...."
So no idea when the case got transferred. Usual interview letter asking to bring passport/immi. docs.
Mine is an AC-21 case.

Prince01 please update your experience after your interview.

Thanks
 
Interview Details..!

Hi...!

The interview went well for 30 mins and normal Documents were asked and he told that the Background checks on my Application was not cleared and so he cannot Ask us to get stamped.

Once that clearance comes we should be getting a letter in mail for attending the Stamping... so More time for me to wait......

If anybody has any idea on how long these background checks take please let me know.

Thanks
 
hope this helps:

my wife had her green card interview recently. it went well and she
walked out with the stamp (as did i -- my eb application was approved
a couple of months ago).

it turns out, based on what i'm reading on the internet, that it's not
at all uncommon for spouses of eb applicants to be interviewed if the
marriage occured just before the application for adjustment of
status. it appears fairly common for the principal applicant to be
approved, and the beneficiary's application to be transferred to the
local office.

however, the interview itself was unique and didn't match my
expectations at all. for one, we were both separated and asked
similar questions. my wife was asked more detailed questions and spent
a longer time with the interviewer, and she even had to draw a picture
of our house. aside from those questions, the interviewer barely
glanced at all the "proof" of cohabitation and comingling of finances
(he just put all the copies in our file). has anyone had this happen
to them and is there a pattern here? the whole thing took about an
hour.

since we've been happily married for almost two years now, the
interview really wasn't a problem at all, and everything was done
courteously, and when it was over, the interviewer stamped my wife's
passport, and helped me get my stamp also (even though they had
stopped processing people by then), asked to look at our photo albums
(after approving us).

timeline (nsc):

oct 2001 - receipt date
nov 2001 - first ead/ap
mar 2003 - fingerprinting
oct 2002 - second ead/ap
jan 2003 - rfe (employment verification)
feb 2003 - principal approved, beneficiary case transferred to local office
apr 2003 - interview and i-551 for both principal and beneficiary

thanks to everyone who helped!
