I have recently sent my papers to change my status, from a student visa to resident. I got married on November 19, 2016, but sent my forms (Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative) on November 2017. I went to get my fingerprints taken on December 2017. I check regularly the USCIS.gov page but I haven't received any update, is there any updates on the time people have received their work permit? How long is it taking for people in my case to receive their interview? How long is it taking for all this to happen?

Generally speaking:

 

I-765/i-131 around 5-6 months. 

 

I-485 around 9-12 months. 

 

I remember Santa Ana field office was a little bit faster in 2017 than some other offices, if it still is you might have your interview after about 6-8 months from your NOA1 date.
