Same here in Las Vegas, NV. Still waiting.

"As of May 29, 2018, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status"

I guess it take a little bit to schedule

 

I’m as of May 2018 too and still pending... NYC... MSC... National Benefits Center (looks like the worst). Processing time up to 30 months ? Not sure..

My interview was today. We were late to start with, and my silly self even forgot my ring at home. See, I really don't like jewelry and I often take it off. Anyway, we couldn't find a place to get a replacement ring without being terribly late to the interview. We got in 20 minutes late. Saving grace it is downtown LA, everyone is always late because of the traffic. They had barely just got started themselves. We were billed for 9:30am and we went through the check in and got to the waiting area. Luckily we were called as soon as we sat down, ahead of the crowd that was already waiting. 

 

The officer went through the motions with the regular I-485 questions. With that done, she went ahead to separate us and ask questions. Before that, there was some things I did not bring and she said I should have. These included my degree certificate from school since I came as an F-1 student. I told her I didn't think to come with that but I have a copy on my phone. She looked at it, but said it would've been better on paper. She actually told me to go home, put together all my school documentation, and bring them back today; and let her know when I got back in the building (she gave me a signed and stamped note to show at the reception so they would let me in). Never heard that happen before but I did as she asked. I came back 3 hours later and turned everything in. She went over it and said I'll hear from her. 30 minutes later on my way home, my status changed to "New Card Is Being Produced."

 

Take away from this for me is go there with everything. Regardless of how unconnected it is to what you're going there for just show up with it. You may not get the miracle of "go home and come back," and that elongates the entire process. Best of luck to those who are yet to attend their interview.

 

Cheers!

Are there many people left still waiting to hear about an interview? Seems like many of you are getting your green cards already. Waiting is a b*tch......

Hi I haven't had any news about the interview yet. The local office will be San Fernando California. Uggh it has been a year. I hate waiting!

Lucky you were able to go home and it! For me it would take me more than 3 hours to drive home plus quite some time to find what was needed! Congrats!

Exactly 1 year from the date of application, I got a status update that my interview has been scheduled. I just got a text message and online change, no notice via snail mail just yet. Is this some kinda auto thing they're doing or does this really mean something? My service center would be Minneapolis (which has notoriously long wait times).

 

Anyone else can chime in how long you had to wait from the time you saw the online notice till you actually received the paper notice? How far out was the interview date from receiving the paper notice?

 

Hard to get excited about any of this knowing how tricky the whole process is.

I received the letter via snail mail about a week later. My interview was scheduled for a month later. Most people in here seem to have very similar experiences. You're almost there!

Hi! We are currently filling out the renewals for the EAD/AP, and question 24 and 25 are:

24 . Immigration Status at Your Last Arrival.

 

25. Immigration Status at Your Last Arrival. Provide the letter and number that correlates with your status when you last entered the United States. 

 

If anyone has filled this out, what did you put? Since we got married, I don't think it's K1, and I don't believe AOS is an immigration status, right? My wife traveled with the AP last fall, so wondering what to put.

 

Thanks in advance.

Look on your last I-94 - it will have a code; officers use several to refer to those entering on AP awaiting AOS.

I know... Still here and waiting....

[George & Roth 1,485]

I think the slowest ones (Texas) will be expected by July to September? I believe they are approving January 2018 now.

 

Almost there for you that remain, hopefully no outliers that get stuck longer. 

[eagle85 268]

I am still waiting for AOS interview. Local office will be San Fernando Valley California. I have sent renewal EAD and AP package last week. I hope I will get the interview soon. Anybody still waiting as well?.
