Interview scheduling from NBC to Houston field office
My case was at NBC and yesterday I received a notification stating case is ready for interview. I assume the case will be transferred to field office (Houston in my case) and then the interview will be scheduled. I saw a few post where it took more than 6 months for the interview to be scheduled so wanted to better understand what to expect.
Category :EB2 NIW (ROW)
PD: Oct 2022 (Current as of Jan 2024
Previous status : CRP (since Nov 2023)
I-485 approved!
The approval came one day after I-130 status was “actively reviewed”. I-485 and I-765 were “actively reviewed” since Nov 17, 2023, which was the day of my biometrics.
The EAD was standalone. I never got AP. I was on TN1 before adjusting status. I sent medical with initial application. No RFEs or interview.
I hope everyone else’s applications will move more quickly with the additional funds from the new fee hikes!!

F2A category (green card holder spouse)
My PD is 29 July 2022.
Is there anyone in the same boat?
Do you think I-485 will be proved or I have to wait for F2A category to be current?

EMBASSY EXPEDITE
Hello! 1 day later I heard back from my embassy in santo domingo and I got this answer:
To Whom it Concerns:
Thank you for your patience. We sent your request to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
However, they cannot expedite this case.
Please note: Only the U.S. Embassy or Consulate can approve or deny expedite requests.
This case is now documentarily complete. That means the National Visa Center has all the required documents. Your application is now waiting for an interview appointment.
I Will send another expedite today letting them know i am now DQ along with the fact that uscis approved and all that and if they still deny that I will send it woth my senator and contact the white house as I did with USCIS to get it approved
