Positive vibes for everyone, and I hope this month brings everyone the good news they are waiting for.  

Sending all of the positive vibes to get anyone who needs it through the long weekend. 
We still have today, so still time for some updates.. but positive vibes to keep everyone calm and stress free over the holiday weekend. Go drink beer and eat lots of food  
 

(couldn't find the star emotions, so this is then emotion for positive vibe today)  

I had my biometrics yesterday and it all went fine! Nobody asked me about my phone and I was even able to use it to fiddle with while I waited. They were a lot more concerned about crying children. It was in Revere, MA, I arrived half an hour early and was given a number right away. I think it took around half an hour to forty-five minutes in total.
Good luck to everyone else who is waiting!

Update:
 
I received my EAD card today in the mail!
I'm sending lots and lots of positive vibes to everyone here!! 
Good luck to all of us! 

I just said the truth, @atuegwu. If I could be as half positive as you are, I would feel less stressful in this whole process. FYI, I got the NOA1 in the mail today. I gotta mail the I-485 package out first thing tomorrow morning. I hope there would be no more trouble this time.

Thanks a lot @Scienceteacher15
@Pinkielicious wow!! Thanks a bunch for the kind words. You've been awesome and I pray you get notified positively sooner than we know. Good luck.
@13roots thanks a lot and good luck
@Nin&Way and @SparklePony thanks greatly for your encouragement and positive vibes on here. It has greatly kept us going. Good luck.

Wow congrats @atuegwu!!!! You 've been the most positive, supportive, and inspiring person in this group,  and things are moving forward positively for you!!! 

I dropped you a message. I don't want to destroy the good vibes here .

Yes.
New received date and new receipt number.
 
Source: My EAD application got rejected because of missing signature. I got the rejected package back, but when I filed again, they assigned a new receipt number to the application.

Yaaaayyyy!!! Woke up this morning with the great update....
 
 
YOUR INTERVIEW HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 21ST....
 
Actually was expecting my EAD but it is what it is... Good luck to you all folks.

Today I got very good news.  My EAD card is being produced now.  

Yes, that's the correct address, so don't worry about it. It all depends on the worker who works on your case. There are many factors that might affect the progress such as their sick leaves, off days, vacations, or how many cases they have to handle right now. Therefore, just be patient and be positive. However, based on my experience, if you have already spoken to them over the phone, you'll be more likely to receive something soon. Just like one of the March filers, he called and spoke to the USCIS officer after his 21 days of waiting. After he hung up, his check was cashed. And it happened to me, too. So, just hang in there; we'll all get there eventually. There is no doubt saying this whole AOS process is a waiting game.

Gotcha!!! Thank you so much for your help and your encouragement!!! Good luck to all of us here!

@Pinkielicious it is okay and in my opinion, leave the package the way it is especially the check but do well to go through the applications to make sure all the Is are dotted and the Ts crossed. Good luck and stay strong.
@emchappie okay, I now understand, I feel you include the new job's and old job's pay stubs and employment letter, attach a letter if possible explaining the details of the new job and the benefits included in it, with that I think they will accept and consider him as your sole sponsor. It is obviously full of rigors getting a co-op not. Good luck.

Thank you, @atuegwu! I'm gonna wait for the official notice of the I-130 and send the whole thing back to them. Do you think I should attach a new check? They stapled the check on the rejection notice, and there is a stamp of U.S. Department of Homeland Security on it. I don't know if I should leave the whole package like that and resubmit or I should unstaple the check and put in the new one.

Update: I received my biometrics appointment in the mail today.
 
My timeline  so far:
Mailed application:04/21
Delivered : 04/24
Email confirmation:04/29
Notices in mail: 05/04
Biometrics letter:05/13 (appointment on the 26th)
 
Thats all for now...i wish you all the best for those who are still waiting you should receive the biometrics letter soon..

Well if you look at the processing times ,EAD is currently processed for Jan 15 2017 as of Feb 28th 2017 which is a lot faster than NBC. Well since you are adjusting from F1 like me your case will be forwarded to your local office and it depends on the backlog and workload on your local office before your interview is scheduled.

Yes it is and currently they are processing a lot faster than NBC.

They shouldn't have to talk to your husband as the petitioner, at this point you are the applicant and it is your immigration case.
I think this means that they got your application on the 24th and have not yet gotten around to going through the documents and organizing it and cashing the check. This is great news! You should get the NOA1s in a few days it seems.

Still nothing yet. But I know several March filers who received the notices after more than 2 weeks. 1 of them received the receipt on his 28th day. As for myself, it took them almost 1 month to let me know that my package was rejected and returned it back to me. So, depends on the worker who handles your file, you should receive something soon. If it's more than 20 day, I suggest you to give them a call.

Sent you a long and hopefully not too boring message!

Just received my EAD card. It's a combo with AP card for those that were wondering. Good luck! 

I'm so sorry you're in this stressful situation!

I'm no expert in this, but you should be fine because you have already filed your AOS before your 'authorized stay' expires. Let me know how it goes on Wednesday when you contact them, good luck!!! and Congrats on your Graduation!

Hang in there. I'm waiting for mine, too. One of the March filers received the notices on his 28th day, so you'll get one soon.
