wow congratulations! did you take medical examination? do you have any recommendations in Maryland?
veronika nikaAug 14, 2021
Thank you! I did already my medical exam. I went to Dr. Kesar Chaudhary in Silver Spring. I paid $380 without any vaccines. I think that you can find cheaper ones but I was happy with this doctor.

@veronika caisova
i have a smiliar timeline , and was wondering after how many month will my interview be scheduled.. can u advise when ur interview is due? this year ? or the next ?
veronika nikaAug 14, 2021
My interview is next month (September 16). Your interview date depends on your local field office. My office (Baltimore) is currently scheduling October and November 2020 applicants, but each field office will be different. Also, once your status will change to interview was scheduled, you can expect to have the interview in next 5-6 weeks.

@veronika caisova, thanks alot for all info , one last question if i may, do u get the interview date on the uscis website or do u have to wait for the letter to come in the mail ?
veronika nikaAug 14, 2021
They will not give you the interview date in the online status, you need to wait for the official letter which you should receive in 7-10 days from the online update. Or I saw some people ask USCIS agent using EMMA for the interview date once the online status changed to interview scheduled- I do not have a personal experience with that, I just waited for the letter.

congrats on your interview been scheduled. please my husband case pd is July 16 2020 and we submitted i485 on October 26 2020 FO is Baltimore, please how did you know they were processing October and November 2020? maybe they missed my case ooo because we are October 2020 filer and still no update since he did bio in March 2021. I need help if you can explain more please.
veronika nikaAug 15, 2021
Hi, do not worry, they did not missed your case. My information is just a general estimate based on what I can see around with other Baltimore applicants. I did not want to scare you with that info. They are still people from earlier month which are waiting to be scheduled and there is nothing wrong with their cases. USCIS is sometimes working in a mysterious way. I think that you will be scheduled soon, do not worry with comparing to other cases. If you are interested, you can enter the "Maryland-adjustment of status" group on facebook. There is more than 60 members and we are exchanging information and experience there.
