Is there an analysis of how many AOS applications were submitted each month? It would give us a better idea of how long it would take our EAD/AP to get approved, I supposed. Thanks!

EAD/AP is taking 4-6 months
That's just what is happening. You can see how long it's taking to approve things here on VJ

If you mean the actual GC, then that's office specific
See here for USCIS general reports for the past quarter: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Reports and Studies/Immigration Forms Data/Employment-based/I485_performancedata_fy2018_qtr2.pdf

This morning I called USCIS as some people suggested here. I provided the case number for my i-485 inside the call menu and it said they don't have any information on that case, or something like that. I previously tried the case number for i-765 which said the same thing as the website. So anyway, I went through the process again and selected the option that I don't have the case number, talked to a real person. After telling her the number she said oh I see you had the interview. I was like, no I didn't. She said, well it says here that your interview is ready to be scheduled. 

I mean aren't there tons of cases at this step, she must be new cause otherwise I'd think a lot more people call to ask about that. In any case, she asked me if I want more details about my case and I said yes, so she said she'll transfer me to someone higher. I get placed on hold and was told by the machine that I'll get a call back in approximately 203 minutes. Well I still haven't received a call so I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

No, that shouldn't affect your combo card approval.

Hey I live in Washington state too! All we can do is just hang in there. I don’t expect to get the AOS interview until next year to be honest cause the Seattle office seems so backlogged. But I really really hope the EAD/AP will come through soon.

apa kabar, mba or mas? dari mana indo nya

Hi, I applied for an expedite for my AP because of an Emergency Situation; my sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer...

I faxed the support (doctors letter, proof of relationship to sister) for the expedite today . How long will it take from this point to get approved/have the card in hand?

Sorry to hear about your sister.  Ours was approved within two days of receiving the evidence, mailed two days after that, and received about four days later.  So, it was just over a week total and things seemed to move very fast after they received it.  If you experience any delays, I would urge you to contact your state representative to make an inquiry on your behalf.  Good luck!

I also read that you can go to your local office and got it right away .. Maybe you can try to contact your local office.

That's odd. I've just tried calling again just to be sure I heard the right info and they said the interview is being scheduled and I am in line. They even confirmed the date of when it changed both calls from a few days ago to today. I would ask for a date to make sure they match.

I called again today and I did get the callback, the person said it'll take up to 4 more weeks for me. They are waiting for my files to get back to them. My status on the website last changed on May 29th to waiting to schedule an interview.

That's awesome! The websiste still says "RFE Recieved xxx." 

[angry 25]

I think he told me the 4 weeks just as a reassurance, he's probably just giving an estimate. Many people are at waiting to schedule an interview.

Sorry about your situation!

 

I was successful in getting Emergency advanced parole in April.

 

I gathered all my documents together and went straight to my local office and was approved there and then! You don’t need an appointment or anything! You just explain that you need advanced parole and that it’s an emergancy and someone will see you. 

 

It was very straight forward for me. I went to the office and booked a flight the same evening.

Hi, did you status changed after your biometric appointment? Mine never changed. I called uscis and my case is still in NVC:(
