Any marriage based AOS filer (SEATTLE)?
Hi I'm from Seattle, and I'm a marrige based AOS filer.
My PD is May 2019 and I got Ready to be scheduled for an interview September 2019.
Though I have looked up various immigration forums, I haven't seen any Seattle AOS filers who got interview scheduled in October-December this year yet.
If there is any marriage based AOS filer who has interview at Seattle field office from October to December 2020, please let me know when your PD is.
Thank you :)

Am at Seattle office also, PD June 2020, been waiting on biometrics appointment, from all the forums I follow our office seems to be the slowest, seeing ppl with even 3 years period between applying and approval.

I am a seattle april'20 filer. still waiting for biometrics, thanks to the slowest field office

@apr'20 Seattle, did you call them because you should be outside of processing time, I called them up to last week indicating am outside the 90 days for appointment they say am still in processing time so it's like the 90 days rule doesn't make sense, smh

@apr’20 seattle,
From a facebook group, I saw an April 2020 filer's post about USCIS Seattle office's biometrics news.
Refer to the original message (written on Oct 12, 2020) below:
"For anyone in the Seattle area I called USCIS today and found out the following regarding biometrics appts :
- they said they are starting with April 15 applicants for bio appts. They’ve already scheduled the bio apts with dates and times in the system but the letters haven’t reached the filed office in Seattle so it’s a waiting game at this point .
- they were able to give me my bio appt date and time etc even though there hasn’t been any update on my online case status.
If you are an April filer like me I urge you to call and ask them when your bio appt is going to be.
She said if it’s 5 days before your bio appt and you still haven’t received the actual letter to call them again . "

This is very useful information, thank you! It’s odd to me some people filed in May (Seattle office) received their bio appointments in August while April filers are still waiting.

@Sierra, what is the name of that FB group?
Ms Optimistic SeattleOct 22, 2020
I saw that too, I even see in other states August applicants getting appointments.

@Jun'20 Seattle, I did call them and they created a service request which may or may not be answered in 15-30 days. if they dont answer in that period, then also you can't do much except getting another request created and waiting further
apr'20 seattleOct 22, 2020
@Sierra Charlie, thanks for the info. I will check out the group. I keep calling them every week as I have nothing better to do right now:)
I called them on Monday and I was just told to wait.
apr'20 seattleOct 22, 2020
@June'20 Seattle, our 90 days were over on 13th oct, so why did they not create a service request for you the last week?
btw, now the hold times have drasticAlly reduced on helpline, so I would say call them again and create a request, if not done already

someone said that the link is not valid, but other people still could get in.
anyway here is how I found the link.
From VisaJourney :
Forums >> US Visa Holder and Permanent Resident Immigration Discussion >> Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas >>
Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports >> Seattle Office AOS Filers
On the last page, there is a link to the group. And I could get in.

is it useful though?
Ms Optimistic SeattleOct 24, 2020
@apr'20, to me it is as it narrows down to just individuals who are going through Seattle office
