My EAD and AP were approved a week ago. Cleveland filer too but I don't think it matters for the EAD, my letters came from Missouri

Look forward to hearing your interview experience! Do you get USPS tracking number for the approved EAD and AP?

Not in the approval notices, no.

I can probably get the numbers by callin USCIS but see, I have a huge problem talking on the phone with strangers. :D

And I don't wanna make my husband call because he already called a bunch of civil surgeons for me.

I'm just gonna wait and check on my po box regularly.

Haha, I see. Did you get your medical done?

The online case status used to contain the tracking number for my past EADs (from F-1), so I'm curious if they're not doing it anymore.

Oooh I'll check again, maybe I missed it.

I'm doing it on Monday and hopefully getting the results on Thursday.

Unfortunately, we couldn't due it earlier due to hubby's job.

If it's not ready in time, I guess I'll have to send it after the interview.

Only Update I have is that of 1/10/2018 my I-485 case is ready to be scheduled online (means all was good with my Biometrics I guess?). I am in NYC - so as of now the interview should happen somewhere around August/September 2018.

Hi guys! 

Wanted to ask you something since its seems like you know WAY more than I do! (Thanks to you!)

You are such a great help and It makes me so happy that we can all support each other here!

I keep up to date with our forum and keep reading your posts about you getting notice and changes in your applications.

I'm extremely happy for you! I just wonder why for me nothing has changed yet since I got done with biometrics... I know that some of you have filed as well I chicago lockbox. What are the factors that affect how quickly the process goes? I don't know if i should be worried or no....

Good question! I just realized it's the old design. I wonder why. . 

Here is the card design I received:

You'll prolly get it closer to interview date like user EvieMN...

I'm following another Denver applicant. He submitted early January 2017 and his interview date is set for next month. . So, not too hopeful with Denver field office lol 

Good luck with the preparation.  Keep us posted :)

Here is a quote from USCIS site about the new design:

"Some Green Cards and EADs issued after May 1, 2017, may still display the existing design format as USCIS will continue using existing card stock until current supplies are depleted. Both the existing and the new Green Cards and EADs will remain valid until the expiration date shown on the card."

It looks like they have a lot of old designs in stock!

What matters is the card hahah.  Thank you for sharing with us, I will let you know if any changes occur in my end.
