Hey, we are on about the same exact timeline right now....after reading a few posts here and there I've read some people did their biometrics in a different city (someone was from a different state but on vacation or work in Seattle and did it there without any problem). But I think they have specific facilities that you use in the closest city near you. I guess it will give more details once we receive the instructions in the mail. 

Hi, yes you can work with the green card, here is the USCIS link. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted

Thank you
 
About your concerns about the biometric appointment:
I missed the date due a delay on the mail, however we went to the same place as the letter indicated, even though we were 2 weeks delayed for the appointment, they still took us and accepted taking the biometric info even without an appointment, so it seems they're not really picky on that. Good luck!

Hi all, just popping in to say that I arrived in the US on April 28th. My POE was in Newark (review coming very soon), spent some time in NY. I am currently near Seattle with my love. Next step is applying to AOS. I hope everything is going well for you all.

Congrats and thanks for sharing the good news with us! We got married on Saint Patty's Day and are now preparing my wife's AOS/EAD/AP packet. Hope to send it out within the next week or so.

Congrats to all who have received USCIS or NVC updates! I arrived here in the US 2 weeks ago, got married, updated my SSN and filed for AOS already. I cannot wait to put all the paperwork behind me for a while!

Hi all, just came to tell the good news! I took the interview at the US Consulate in Rio yesterday and it all went smoothly. They made basic questions (read my review for details), and finished it up successfully. Today, the CEAC status says ISSUED. Thank you all for the great help. It definitely made things a lot easier. 
For those still waiting, I wish you all the good energy and I hope everything goes well for you too.

(Sorry for the double post, not very experienced on this forum).
 
Just an update for from us for other Oct. filers that are still working on it:
 
Fiance went this month to Bangkok to submit request for Police record check.  Expect to have it back Mid April.  12 hour bus ride each way...
We are working on the rest of the required paperwork to submit the Packet 3 docs once we have the Record Check back.  We have time as I will be back in Thailand in July for 3 weeks.  We hope it works out that he can interview during my first week back, then we would have 2 weeks together in Thailand to visit family and wrap things up, then travel back to USA together.  Hopefully all goes smoothly...  So far, so good.  No stumbles experienced yet.
 
Not sure how we would get through all these steps without the great info from this website.  Thanks to everyone who contributes, congrats to those that have already completed, and keeping fingers crossed that all continues to go well...

My fiance picked up his visa today. It feels so surreal, can't wait to finally begin our lives together. Good luck everyone!!! 

My fiance interview was yesterday. 
and they approved the visa!!
this forum was very helpfull on every step that was needed. 
time to look for flights. 
 

They haven't sent mail/ packets in like forever.
 
The email is the only thing you guys will get, you should follow the directions there and everything should go smoothly. Yes, everything is done online and you're the one scheduling the interview within their available appointments.
 
But I do remember two girls that had error codes last year, I can't recall their usernames but it shouldn't hard to find their threads in the Brazilian portal. As far as I remember they had to contact the embassy many times to get it fixed. 
 
Send them screenshots, detailing everything and they should help.
 
best of luck
