How can i get reponse back from service without delay in angularjs?

When I call the service method from the controller it returns data with delay and I need this response to populate the dropdown

EXPECTATION :
When I call this method from the controller it should return a response immediately then other logic should run after this.

Service Code

app
    .service('UserAccounts', ['$http', '$q', function ($http, $q) {
       
        var deferred = $q.defer();
        var allInvoices;
        this.vendorPromise = $http.get('api/invoices/getAllinvoices', { params: { cache: false } }).then(
            function (response){
                Invoices = response.data;
                deferred.resolve(Invoices);
            }).catch(function (err){
           

        });

        
        this.findUserByNameEmail = function (Name, email) {
            if (allInvoices) {
                return $q.when(allInvoices.filter(function (vendor) {
                    return user.ReceivingLegalName == Name && user.ReceivingEmail == email ;
                }));
            }
            else {
                var findDeferred = $q.defer();
                deferred.promise.then(function (Invoices) {
                    findDeferred.resolve(Invoices.filter(function (user) {
                        return user.ReceivingLegalName == Name && user.ReceivingEmail == email ;
                    }));
                });
                return findDeferred.promise;
            }
        };
        
     

    }]);

Controller code :

UserAccounts.findUserByNameEmail($scope.invoice.userName, $scope.invoice.email).then(
                        function (invoiceDetails) {
                            
                         $scope.InvoiceList = invoiceDetails;
                            
                        });

when I try to do it like this it returns a response immediately but gets value inside $$state

$scope.InvoiceList = UserAccounts.findUserByNameEmail($scope.invoice.userName, $scope.invoice.email);

enter image description here

Looks like .then takes some time to return response .could some one help me here
