We had our interview on Monday at the San Diego Field Office.  We were approved!  Very good experience!  You can read my review at the bottom of our timeline here:

Good luck to all of you and thanks for making our journey an easy one!  If it weren't for this site we would be lost!  See you all in a couple years!

Hello everyone!  Haven't posted in a while but still been keeping an eye on everyone posting here. My wife has been working for the last month so it was great for her to not to be so idle at home.  The downside is I have to make my own lunches now!  LOL!  Actually, I get to make her lunch before i leave for work sometimes and I love doing it!  
 
Anyways, we got a surprise letter in the mail today.  It was an NOA for AOS interview scheduled!  I did not receive any SMS/Email like I did for her EAD/AP card and checking USCIS website still shows the status of her I-485 as "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received".  It has been that status since May!  Anyway our AOS interview is scheduled on 10/30/2017 at the San Diego Service Center.  Yay!
 
I checked the AOS Timeline Statistics link http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php
 
It looks like we are about a month ahead of the 235 day average from Package receipt to AOS interview at the San Diego office (16 records reported).  So I guess I don't have too much to complain about.  I don't forsee any problems but will let everyone know how our interview goes in about a month!

Hello JTTE, glad to see another couple from San Diego North County area on this forum! Thanks for the congrats but she only got her EAD/AP combo card not her GC! I wish! 😁 Anyway, we sent out packet through the USPS Express mail on April 6 and of course they received it the next day according to tracking but we didn't get NOA until April 17. You can check our timeline for our details. You should set up your timeline so you can track your progress along with everyone else to help cheer you on! Thanks Again! 

It's all good!  The pic I posted I thought was the latest because story behind it on USCIS website had the date of May 1, 2017.  However, I failed to see the disclaimer at the top of the page that said that content may be archived material but is kept on the page for reference.  Glad there are a lot of people on here that have more accurate information than I do! .

Wow!  Those cards look much better!  Too bad we got the old one!  LOL!  We're just happy she can finally work!  She just got her SSN in the mail today!  Woo Hoo!

@ExieLeen I got the old one, too, but it's okay. Maybe our GCs will be of new design, 😆. Congrats to you and your wife! 🙂

The differences that I forgot to mention in my post were that her signature does not appear on the bottom of her picture and instead it says "Signature Waived". I'm not sure why since her biometrics see sion was successful as far as I know. It also has the "Serves as I-512 Advance Parole" endorsement statement instead of where it says "Not Valid for US Reentry to US" on her card.

We received the new card as well from the NSC. i did and google image search.  Ours looks exactly like the attached picture.

Hi All!
 
First time posting in this thread.  We sent our packet in on April 4 and received NOA on 4/17 for all items in the packet. After months of waiting, we finally got a text that the EAD was approved on 7/26.  I was worried that we didn't get approved for the AP because the MSC# mentioned in the text was only for the I-765.  We received TWO I-797 (NOA) for BOTH the EAD and the AP on 7/31 in the mail.  The NOA's were just informing us that the EAD and AP were approved and how to use the combo card when it arrives in the mail.  That same day (7/31) we got another text that the EAD card was ordered for production. She received her combo EAD/AP card in the mail 2 days later on 8/2.  The next day on 8/3 we went straight to the SSA office to get her an SSN.  That card will hopefully arrive next week.  She applied to various places to work at the beginning of the week when we got the NOA's and now she has an interview at Legoland next week and also an actual job offer at a local Indian Casino!  This has been one hell of a week considering we have heard crickets from USCIS for the last 100 or so days! 
 
It's great to see everyone else that filed in April starting to get some action from USCIS.  Now for those who us have achieved this big milestone, we await our next one--AOS Interview appointments!  Hopefully that will come soon! 

Thanks A+S!  I'm sure your EAD/AP are coming right our our heels!
