Anyone else come across this article: https://www.am22tech.com/uscis-denying-ead-expedite-request/

Anyone on this thread in the Seattle area?  Just wanting to see in anyone has had any updates?  I received a weird update on my case a while ago?

Well, we spent about an hour at the DMV yesterday. Got there a little after 7am (did you know some locations are now open at 7am?!). We filled out the app, and went up to renew our license. The clerk took my wife's paperwork and went to a back room. She came back shortly and told us that unfortunately we could NOT renew because the EAD had not yet expired. We have to come back the DAY AFTER it expires (which also happens to be the day before the interview date) in order to renew it, and she'd only renew it for 60 days at that time. We'd have to then come back EVERY 60 days to renew it again. Bummer for us...

Card was finally Mailed to me, expected delivery, this upcoming friday!

Update from applicant over in San Francisco - just got e-notice that our interview was scheduled, and notice in the email! Curious to find out when it will be...

Yes, we are doing ok financially. She just had to have her opinion on our personal life. lol

Here is my experience with San Antonio interview.
 
“Word of advice to the interviewers - Keep the interview professional and dont let your emotions/personal past experiences get in the way of how you view people. 
 
My husband and I had a unexpected, very uncomfortable interview. Conversation started off well, so we thought. She said we had to be wealthy coming into this country, made us feel as we were poor and unworthy. My husband does not make a lot (which is why I have a joint sponsor) But yet she felt the need to target my husband and tell him he needs to pick up his act and find a better job, even move towns if that helps. I submitted my husbands Tax return a couple months ago when I received a RFE. However I did not make a copy of this paper (my fault) and she wanted to see it. I said you must have it because we sure sent it. So i assume they lost it and she said because of this missing paper she would deny me if it was up to her. Very rude of her and thank God she does not have the final decision. 
 
She seemed out to get us because we were gamers (no longer) and that made us seem incompetent. We both have jobs and are getting by but for some reason that was the focus of the interview instead of asking us questions about our relationship. She had no interest in looking at the evidence i gathered about us. Which is the whole point of this interview. This lady told us personal things about her life which wasted time and was totally irrelevant to us. She had a bad experience with an Ex husband who was only interested in games not her. And that left her bitter, thats why she targeted my husband because he is a gamer. But he is not like some other gamers in the sense that he cant hold a relationship. I have no problem in the way that he spends some of his time playing. In fact he has given up most of his games but she didnt care to know that. She casually joked the reason why we forgot his tax return was because we are gamers.
 
Just because we met playing a game online 8 years ago does not mean till this day we are still playing and have no life outside games! Ridiculous assumptions. We were asked if we had children and after saying NO she asked us 2 more times. I felt offended by that because she does not believe us for some reason. 
Overall we felt like we got a lecture about our lives more than anything. We are doing everything right legally to be approved and because we are not rich and have a history of playing games she looked down on us. She also spoke over us often. My greencard was approved via online app that same night. Thank God! “

I had my interview in San Antonio and I was not sure if I was approved or not. The  that same night I received “new card is being produced” update   How long typically can i expect to wait on my greencard? 

Hello Everybody, I wanted to share our experience during the AOS Interview.
Our Date was JUne 26th, 2019 at 11:10 am. We arrived at 10:45 am to be cautious with time. 
They called everyone in the room except us, we were the last couple to be called that had me extremely stressed out. Finally the Agent called my name, we followed him to is office and he asked us to raise our right hand to swear. Then he review the folder he already had on his desk with our application, he asked the eligibility questions (If I was part of a terrorism group, genocide, prostitution, etc), I answer No, He asked my husbands current employer, my employer, my husbands children's name and that was it. No more questions, I didn't even open the folder that I had prepared with our evidences (bank statements, insurance policies, pictures, etc ) He said " everything looks fine, you should be receiving your green card in the mail  within the next 30 days". And that was it, we were done. All these years being afraid of that moment and it happened so quickly and went so well. I still haven't received my green card in the mail it's only been 3 days, I'm so happy and relieved. 
Good Luck to everyone else!!. 
 

Green card in hand exactly 1 week after our interview. Good luck everyone still waiting.

Finally we got interview letter for July 3rd. I am outside the US for the moment and so excited when my husband informed me that we got mail from USCIS. He opened it while we were on video call and ta daa...!! it's interview letter!. Hope everything goes well for all of us here. 

I just had my interview 2 days ago in Newark, and got the same letter, and the online status still stuck at 'interview was scheduled'
Based on your timeline, I should hear something next week!
 

I’m in the Seattle area and still waiting too. It’s been a little over a year and I really hope I’ll get my interview letter soon. Seattle office is so slow though 😔

I am still waiting here is Seattle.  Just get my monthly email saying" We are still processing your case".  My EAD Combo card expires in a month.  Applied to have it renewed in Feb, but still only receipt of that as well.  Anyone in the Seattle area???
 

Excellent, we are getting up to those Texas people finally!

On the interview letter it has a list of what to bring for your interview and it says you must also bring the letter so I don't think you can just get the info by phone. Maybe they can send another if you never receive it.

So thankful. We just got our interview date 6-6

I am happy to report back that I had my interview in Minneapolis today and got approved. Thanks so much to everyone for your support. How long does it take from the time of approval to receiving the green card?

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.

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!

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..

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 ;)
 

Interview was on 03/13/2019 is Philadelphia, PA. Paid $20 for parking near the USCIS office, because we didn't have time to find something cheaper.
Time-saving side not: Don't bring FOOD nor DRINKS inside the building - you will have to come back to the car or find a trash can OUTSIDE the building. They won't let you throw it out inside.
 
We were scheduled at 11:30. At 11:45 they invited us (I was very surprised, was mentally prepared to wait at least 30 mins).
The officer was one of the nicest people I've ever met. She was cheerful and positive, was joking with us, discussing Army stuff with my husband as they both were in the armed forces.
 
Asked right away for all the supporting evidence we had (we had a lease agreement, a letter from a health insurance company, utility bill, cell phone bill). Asked to confirm my personal details from the form, Yes/No questions, and asked us how we've met. Picked 5 pictures. And that's it. Said that she was going to approve the case today. Indeed, an hour later I got a message that they approved the case.
 
She said I'll get the card in the mail in 3 weeks.
