San Francisco FO - interview timeline?

we just received a message that our i130 application was entered into the interview scheduling system. local office is San Francisco. Does anyone know or have experience around how long it can take for them to schedule the i130 only interview at this FO?

Richard Figueroa

interview Scheduled.

well I wasn’t expecting to get my interview scheduled this quick. being on TPS since 1999, and being married to my wife for 10 years, I think the interview is going to go well.

Good vibes For ever

Travelling with A.P

Hi I just got back from travelling abroad for family emergency, it was smooth at the airport , 20 min in the secondary room, all fingerprints taken, no questions asked.

Hi, I had my fingerprints taken for the renewal of my EAD in April 2026 (my first EAD was issued when I was still married). I have two questions, please. First, I don’t see any record of the fingerprinting session in my online account. The second is: why didn’t they take any photos, only fingerprints? Thank you in advance for your answers (categories, C09)

1018 days waiting now

Would you guys consider a family based I-485 (filed conjoined with I-131, I-765, and I-130) pending over 1018 days outside of normal processing times? Our priority date is July 21st, 2023. Orlando Field Office. I submitted a service request stating the above, and they told me it’s still within normal processing times. My I-130 was approved over a year ago, 5 year travel permit and 5 year work permit approved years before that. Our interview was July 2024. 10+ congressional emails to them and they keep finding ways to stall and continue “processing” my case. Already had to submit a new medical which was accepted and the last email they responded to, was from our congressman, saying I need a new background check (been already past 60 days as well). This is my 4th or 5th background check. No criminal history, we have a U.S. born son, and we’ve been married for over 4 years with a plethora of proof that was submitted. Joint taxes, phone records, house, bills, bank statement, the absolute perfect case on paper. They’ve previously mentioned to the congressman that I am in the final adjudication process months ago, and then would do a full 180 and find new things to request or put me back into processing. I already filed to the ombudsman office, but they process my sort of case on a least priority basis. Wondering if I should consider Writ of Mandamus at this point.. #I-485 #Writofmandamus

EB2-NIW I-140 Approved!

Sharing my timeline for anyone in the wait! Background: MA in Chemistry, 3rd year PhD candidate in Computational Chemistry 4 journal papers, 1 conference paper, 29 citations at filing 2 dependent letters, served as peer reviewer Timeline: Filed: June 26, 2025 Upgraded to Premium: March 4, 2026 Approved without RFE: April 29, 2026 Nebraska Service Center — 40 business days from premium upgrade I had no idea where to start with NIW so I worked with Chen Immigration Law. They were patient, cooperative, and we went through multiple rounds of edits until the petition was just right. Re-read your petition and ask yourself, "Does this truly tell my story and explain why the waiver makes sense?" A well-crafted petition makes all the difference. Happy to answer any questions. Wishing everyone a speedy approval!
