Biometrics last Feb.8, 2020
Info pass... Jan 11,2021. Passport was stamped for another 1 yr extension. 
April 2, 2021 Check the online case status his card green card was mailed last March 31st.
Good Luck to all those waiting still. Patience is a virtue. 

I just got my 18 months extension letter last Saturday and I am really hoping that my biometrics and interview will be waived. 😄 

I just received my 18-month extension letter.
 
Here's the timeline for me:
7/11 petition package delivered to Lewisville, TX
7/16 called USCIS and got a receipt number for online tracking
7/17 check cashed
7/19 received extension letter

Today, we mailed off my husband's joint ROC packet to the Phoenix lock-box! The waiting begins...

Received my NOA today in the mail dated 07/09/2019.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing good. 
I am new in this thread, and decided to add my dates in case someone was as impatient as me.
We mailed out package last Saturday 07-13-19
Someone signed it as received Monday 07-15-19
And today (07-19-19) I received a text message that my case was received, my case number and they said my NOA should be in the mail soon.
Also almost forgot we filed in Arizona and we used a money order. Our package was about 4 inches tall, mostly bank statements, credit cards, taxes, affidavits, leases, paper work from our car, photographs, air plane tickets, his medical insurance with my name, dental insurance, life insurance, 401K, school paperwork, out car insurance,  and we added a section as IDs, you know copies of my green card, his passport, birth certificates, copies of our drivers licenses, etc.
Good luck to you all! 
 

Hi everyone.  We filed our I-751 on July 9th and just got the 18 month extension letter in today's mail.  I guess biometrics come in 3 months and the interview in about 13 months.  I have really missed my friends at the USCIS.  🤠
 

Removal of Conditions
07/13/2019 Package sent (I-751)
07/15/2019 Package received at Lewisville,TX lock box 
07/18/2019 Text notification of Case received,  EAC#
07/19/2019 Check got cashed

We are closing on our home next week and had the same issue. My lender was able to lift that requirement even though I didn't get the letter in the mail yet. I called uscis and asked for my receipt number and my lender was able to check my case status on the website. Realizing that it was a matter of time to get the receipt in the mail and along with all of our rest of paperwork for the loan being in order he requested to lift the restriction and we were approved today. We are on track for closing next Friday. Have a conversation with your lender and see if they're able to work something out. I'm also the one making the bigger salary out of the 2 of us and I thought they wouldnt risk it but it worked out. 

I don't worry about the permanent card, I just want the extension letter right now. I know next year I'll be applying for N400 and we can apply even if our I751 hasn't been approved 

@MsGee That is great news and must be a big relief! I am eagerly awaiting my I-797...Me and my wife are supposed to close a home purchase next Friday, and our lender only just told us now that they need the extension letter. A stressful time for sure. Also, glad to see fellow Filipinos! (I am Filipino-Canadian, and my wife is Filipino-American).

Hello Everyone. Our 90 days windows to file i-751 actually starts April 8 2019, but we did not filed it till July which is very close to the end of the 90 days window. USCIS Arizona received our I-751 July 9 via fed ex overnight. My husband green card expired July 10. Checked was cashed July 15 and we never recieved any txt or email. Today July 17 we received from mail the 18 month extension I-797 NOA.(notice date July 12). 

Hi all  I don’t recognize anybody here cuz my crowd is probably all in the April 2019 thread lol (I kind of procrastinated for way too long - could’ve done it back in April since my green card is expiring on 7/25)
 
FedEx delivered my ROC package to Lewisville, TX on 7/11 and it was signed by “brobinson”. I didn’t opt for e-notification, haven’t received any notice, and my check hasn’t been cashed yet. I know it’s only been 3 business days but I’m just kinda worried since my card is expiring on 7/25.
 
Is it pointless to call USCIS now for updates since they have neither cashed my check nor sent out any notice yet?

Finally my status changed today from "ready to be scheduled..." to "interview is scheduled for September 26."
I'm in the LA field office. Does anybody has experience with it already ? Thank you.

We got the G.card today .. Yaaay good luck to you All 

Hello guys, I hope everyone is having a great week!
Today finally we received my Green Card, after this long journey!
I am grateful with every single one of you, for all the support.
This journey hasn't been easy but it has been great!
Good luck to everyone!

BIGGEST CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! 

All done... Interview went very smoothly... IO came out and called my name, he was not smiling but professional and polite, took us into his office and swore us in... then he went through our full names and date of births and address... then he went through the questions on my i-485... then he asked my wife where we had met and around what date... then he asked if it was both of our first marriage and we said yes, then he asked if either one of us had kids and we said no then he asked who are the kids in those photos and i was pleasantly surprised that he had actually personally looked through the pictures and i said those where her niece and nephew... then he asked if we had any extra evidence we want to submit and i gave him our wedding album and my sealed medical form... he said we did a background check and everything looks great that your marriage is bonafide and your green card is approved!!! he then went to get some copies of some of the pics from the wedding album (we had already submitted close to 38 pics with the application) and then he said you will get the card within two weeks and explained ROC and naturalization... then he asked us if we had any questions and we said no and he lead us out... hurraay!!! i hated that we were all tensed up as  the interview appointment letter had mentioned a long list of things to bring to the interview and we hadn't gotten an employment letter from her boss and didn't have the most recent pay stubs but he didn't even ask about them... so i guess this process is finally over for now... thanks to every single one of you who has read my posts and answered my questions and been a part of my journey, you guys made it easier for me... thank you...
 
P.S. I'm kind of worried that i haven't gotten an update on my status online yet, interview was at 1:30 PM and now its 12 30 in thew morning and no update yet... I am gonna post this same comment on the March, April and May 2017 topics as there are people on each who have supported me through this process...
 
 

Goodluck! 

Had our interview yesterday same centre with @Cynthia68  and also got approved yesterday . Thanks to march 2017 filers group and Goodluck mates

Just had my written test for my DL. And I passed.! Have my behind-the-wheel driving test on August 29th. At the California state fair people from the DMV were there and told me, bring everything. Bring you birth certificate, more than enough proof of residency and EAD and filled in form. I made an appointment and it was kind of a breeze. I did mine in Carmichael, CA.

It makes a difference whether you are talking about a RFE or RFIE here. The latter would likely start the processing time over again or at least delay the approval a lot. 
Your expedite request was denied because you are not supposed to make any travel plans and book anything before you have the AP in hand. 
 
It's very unfortunate that USCIS has issued the RFE/RFIE so late otherwise you would probably have your papers in hands by now. You already contacted your congressman so there's not much more than you can do right now. You apparently are adjusting from a visa you can work on so at least you have a life and making money.... you can consider yourself very lucky. Others are waiting as long as you for their work permit as well, not only AP. 

Hello everyone, I've been quiet on the forums for several weeks in part to preserve my sanity through the long waiting, but I've been keeping up with everyone's progress through the weekly digest, so I thought I should also share my update.
 
I got a surprise text and email on Saturday telling me my EAD has been approved and a card was being mailed (it took 113 days). This was without any RFE/RFIE or expedite requests. No updates on AP or GC yet.
 
Good luck everyone!

Those who get the approval without an interview never get the ready for interview status update. Once you get that, it's basically guaranteed that you'll have a interview because it means that your case is already with your local office and in the queue for an interview appointment.
