Interview EB1-A

After all this time waiting, today I received that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. I am devastated, how can I prepare? Any experiences? RFE was for medical exam and passaport style photos (even though those were submitted with the I-485 application)

Case Ready to be Scheduled for Interview

Hi all it’s been 61 days since my case was updated to be ‘case is ready to be scheduled for an interview’. I knew through a congressman that it’s in the Washington field office and it is been more than 30 days since last communication so my congressman sent already a follow up almost 2 weeks ago but still not received any response. did anyone have any idea about this field office? do anyone know how long this FO will take to process the next step knowing that is a non local office for me? Any thoughts it’s been already a long wait for me (PD March 2023, RD July 2024, Biometrics September 2024, last update October 2025. current all the time, ROW)
