Time from Interview notice until actual interview
Hi! I am visiting my family outside the US right now and got a notification that an interview was scheduled. I am truly scared to miss it as I’ll be back in two weeks from now.
How long does it usually take from the time you receive the notice until the actual interview date?
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend everybody!!!

I got the notification on Wednesday and received the letter on Monday. it usually takes a week or less.
just ask someone you trust to keep an eye on your mail box. also you can sign up for Informed delivery with USPS. every morning they will send you an email with all the mail you're getting for that day.

@that guy
Thanks for responding!
I do have informed delivery and saw the letter was supposed to arrive today. I am actually trying to find how long does it take from the letter getting to your home until the actual interview date. I am worried I won’t be able to make it in time and rescheduling the flight back is a big problem…

I see now. I got the letter on August 23rd and my interview was September 28th. I think you should be fine. usually 4 to 6 weeks from the time you get the letter.
also you can chat with a live agent on the Uscis website. you can ask the agent the actual date of your interview.
As soon as I get the notification online that my interview was scheduled, I immediately chatted with a live agent to learn about the date. so I knew the date before even getting the letter

I got the letter on October 9, and I have my interview scheduled for November 22

1 to 1.5 months, so you should be fine

you can chat with EMMA and ask for the excact date. i did not recieve the letter yet but I asked as soon as “interview was schedule”. Mine is around 1.5 month from the date that status changed.

You can also download a copy of the notice from your my.uscis.gov website.
