@Migg Migg congratulations,My I-485 was transferred to the Chicago Field Office in June 2025, and then in November 2025 it was transferred to the Washington, DC Field Office. The status was updated to “Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview,” but since then there has been no update.
Still waiting and hoping to hear something soon.

@Cafe Racer, how do you know you have an interview waiver? I want to check for myself.
