“Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview”: what it means
Your case has cleared the steps before an interview and is waiting for a slot.
What this status means
USCIS has finished the preparation work and placed the case in the queue for an interview at a field office.
It is not an appointment yet. How long a case waits here depends heavily on the field office.
What usually happens next
- An interview notice with a date, time and office is mailed.
- Some cases are later decided without an interview. USCIS decides that case by case.
What to do now
- Start gathering originals of everything you filed, plus updated evidence such as recent tax returns or proof of an ongoing marriage if it applies to you.
- Keep your address current so the interview notice reaches you.
