Similar situation—we got a text with a receipt number on 3/21/19 but our case hasn't shown up yet online and we haven't received the NOA in the mail yet either. We're WAC.
 
We're considering calling our local office (which doesn't accept InfoPass sessions) since the green card expired Sunday.

Got the NOA/18-month extension letter today. Our package was delivered on 3/15, the NOA says the Notice Date is 3/20, but it took an extra 11 days to get here. Now we hurry up and wait... 🙃

Oh yeah, that would have been good information -- it did work out, we were approved and now we just wait two years to lift conditions! 

It sounds like a great plan -- I don't love driving either, especially since we live in Southern California. We'll look forward to good news from the other side of the interview! 

I totally hear you about bureaucracies and the challenges of moving. When I filed for my K-1, my husband was looking for a job and living with family, so I used that address. By the time I arrived, he had found a job and was living with his dad to save money but his parents were about to sell the house. The officer at my point of entry gave me a hard time about the address I was going to not matching the one on my paperwork (filed 9 months earlier, heaven forbid anything change in that time). 

As for the interview, our drivers licenses have different addresses as well, since we moved recently and my husband's (US citizen) license is still valid (and he's lazy). We had a copy of our lease with both our names on it, copies of our bank statements, health insurance, car insurance, and 401k. We didn't have bills because we had just moved that month. My husband used his as his photo identification and the interviewer still asked for his passport or birth certificate so he could verify his citizenship. The interviewer was confused about our address because we've moved twice since I arrived in the US and had filed a couple changes of address, but it was completely unrelated to his drivers license and he was only interested in making sure the right address was on file. 

Looking at your post history, it looks like your husband is the US citizen, so the only reason he might need his drivers license during the interview is for photo identification, in which case he can just bring his passport you'll have your passport too, and it will also verify his citizenship (though take his birth certificate anyway). Worst comes to worst you explain the situation. Good luck! 

Be sure to eat something before you go to your interview and just try stay calm (hah...)! Good luck! 

Just got back from our interview at the San Fernando office.

Even though we were early, it was over two hours from the security line to the immigration officer's office. 
 
Even though I filed an address change 2 and a half weeks ago and received an email that USCIS had updated our address, the officer had an old address. Once he updated that, he took the evidence we were living as a married couple, copies of our marriage license and birth certificates, and picked a few of our photos to add to the massive file (mostly wedding photos). He asked what kind of work I do, and then told us that someone would consider our case and do a background check and that we'd know within 45 days about their decision. He photocopied our IDs and off we went.

We were feeling pretty frustrated since the interview felt less like an interview than paperwork gathering and we'd hoped to know right then if I'd be approved or not. Plus we'd both been too nervous to eat much breakfast and then been in the office for almost 3 hours all said and done, so we were very hungry. But before we'd even left the parking garage I got a text update saying my card is in production? No "approved" status, just that the card is being produced. So it's been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm not holding my breath though, I'll relax once the case says "approved" and/or I have the card in hand. 

Best advice though: bring a small book to read while you wait and even if you're nervous, eat before you go! Whatever happens will be way more tolerable if you're not hungry... 

If you're still at NBC (word on the street) that most likely means you'll be approved without an interview. Albeit does take longer for some reason.

Could be possible though so hang in there! ...
No.

My priority date is blank too. Don't worry about it, you don't really need priority dates. Priority dates are actually the date when they received the packet. I have seen Priority dates on I-130. So when you will check your local USCIS processing time, your basis is your received date.

I-131 doesn't require bio

Maybe USCIS doesn't do it for petitions, but embassies certainly DO check social media and have for a long time. Many stories here on VJ about people seeing private facebook stuff of theirs in the IOs lap.

This is the perfect link that should answer the OP's question. Wide range of situations and answers.
They can, but they don't. At least they didn't before the San Bernardino shootings last year. USCIS said they actually don't look at social media when processing K-1 visa applications. That's a security problem now... Maybe they've changed policies since then due to that security problem.
Just wondering- why did you ask this question? Are you not familiar with VJ? Anyone who has checked this forum out just a couple times would know the replies you'd get to your inquiry...
