Hi Folks,
 
Just got the online update that my EAD/AP combo card is approved and its in production. Yaay .....
(PD: June 1st 2018.)
Good luck for everyone waiting patiently for your EAD/AP cards, I am sure the NBC is processing June filers now.😁

small little update:
 
1) i got my EAD yesterday!!!! only issue: "country of birth" unknown! 
so i called USCIS and a tier 2 called me back today, saying they will contact the office and inform them to update to Switzerland,
and they will inform me if I get a new card or if they will just keep it this way!
 
2) I got an email yesterday after getting my EAD card, for a telephone interview
With that said - I had it today and it went so well that they invited me over for a face-to-face interview next Tuesday
 
3) most important: DRIVING LICENCE!
sooo.. as I went to get my DL (temporary) in my first week of being here, I got my DL which was vaild for 90 days as the K1.
Today I went back to the DMV and I was able to get the DL that is valid for the time as shown on the EAD!!!! Meaning:
Once you have your EAD go to the DMV and bring:
-Passport
-Marriage Licence
-I-797C (NOA1 for Greencard)
-EAD Card
-Birth Certificate (just in case...)
Please note that this may be different in different states. I didn't bring my NOA1 for GC, and they made me go home get it,
although I had it in my email and would have been able to forward to her or print out! but they wanted the original!
 
So temporary licence is in my wallet (valid 45 days) which is a paperprint out, and the card will be shipped shortly!
 
So overall, it has been a terrific day!!!
 
Crossing fingers for the rest of you guys waiting on EAD (or invite to GC Interview)... STAY POSITIVE! remember the uncertain days
of waiting for the K1 approval? Well, at least we are all with our loved ones now ❤️ 

Well, it's official! Paul's GC arrived in the mail yesterday!! We nearly cried happy tears. What a long road. I can officially testify that the moment this all comes to fruition.. it IS ABSOLUTELY worth everything you've gone through. I've never been more proud of my husband.
 
It's overwhelming, but finally in a GOOD WAY. We are in crunch time with all the final planning details of our belated wedding celebration a week from Saturday, and it feels good to have something even more to celebrate. It's the first time both of our families will be together in the same place, and we can't wait!! His parents will be flying in this time next week
 
Congrats to everyone getting their EADs lately! Seems like that process has finally picked up a bit, thank goodness. I remember thinking it'd be close to the end of the year, when we first mailed out his applications, for combo cards to be received. Doesn't seem like that'll be the case now!
 

My status changed this morning to case was approved for both ead and ap. June 6th received date

yaaay - my EAD got mailed yesterday so 1 day after "new card in production" it went to "card was mailed" 
 
let's see if it gets here tomorrow? 
 
no updates on interview though... we shall see how that goes
 
happy friday everyone and have a blessed day

I don't know about everybody else but I was seriously starting to go stir crazy waiting on this EAD to progress- how many times can I get coffee, go to the gym and play on my PlayStation. Lol. Also having to contend with my father in law who immigrated 30 years ago and was so optimistic and yet out of touch with today's immigration reality who said "don't worry you will get your green card in 2 months, it's easy, 1 2 3" lol  he sure kept me laughing. My wife and I would almost eye roll in unison lol.
 
Very happy to say yesterday I checked my status and EAD card is in production and approval letters arrived for EAD/AP combo- I can finally stop being a bum. Lol. Well almost but it's on it's way soon. I filed in early June so for the rest of you waiting, its any day now!

Congratulations @Swissmiss82  
I have received my EAD combo card on Saturday...!!

Got a " new card in production" update on Saturday 9/29  making it a 113 days . Thank God for the movement. 

i almost fell out last night when i received another update on the status of EAD 
where it says "picked up by the USPS" annnnd to top that: they give me a tracking number
i mean, from going from K1 visa still "case received" to getting a tracking number - it's been a journey!
 
so EAD will be delivered by monday

EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION CARD IN PRODUCTION GUYS

Our interview is over & done!! It went so well, and I am so proud of Paul.
 
I'll post a full review on our timeline, but just a quick recap - we were in there less than an hour. The interview was scheduled for 1:05 - we went inside around 12:40, and were back in the car at 1:30. It was mild airport-type security going inside, and then we waited in a pretty quiet room with no windows or clocks (worst part of the whole thing, to be honest). An officer called us back after waiting what felt like maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Most questions were directed at Paul specifically, and they were mostly those "are you a terrorist/sex trafficker/drug mule/etc." questions you answer a million No's to on the application. Only question regarding our relationship was how we met. She looked through our photos we brought and asked who people were, etc. She actually said we brought way more evidence than she expected, being he's only been here/married since May, which was a relief - we worried we didn't have enough for that reason!
 
If your case is pretty straight forward and you prep yourselves well enough, it is really not as awful as you may expect it to be. We expected it to be more/longer than it was. She told him we looked fine and that she would put Approved in the system once his criminal background check came back. His case status was updated online by the time we got home to "Card issued/mailed".  
 
Good luck to those with upcoming interviews!! The relief once it's over with is so worth it! Also - we asked if we have to do anything about his travel and work permit applications that are still out there, since we mailed all of those together with the I495. She said the 485 approval pretty much trumps all of it, and we don't have to do anything else. She said a denial letter of some kind may come for those, since they have to be updated somehow in the system, but that's it. Just in case anyone else ends up in a similar situation.

I was waiting for an update saying "card in production" but instead I received an update saying on "September 18 we MAILED YOUR NEW CARD"!!!
 
It's nice to receive great news two days in a row, especially from USCIS.
 
May filers who are still waiting I am sending hope your way!!!

Hey people 
I have received my EAD too, early May filer. My AOS local office is Boston..., anyone out here who is a Boston filer? 

Interview officer called me last week mentioned they were able to find her medical report from the POE Border control and didn't need to do another medical  and said congratulations you are approved.'
Online status shows approved now as well  
On September 13, 2018, we approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

Received an alert at 1:00am while I was sleeping last night. Priority date is 05/03/2018.
 
So happy!

Just adding some updates to my story
 
Finally we got the best news on our case! Our AOS status changed to "Card is Being Produced" on September 6th ( 43 days after the interview)! On September 10th I-131 and I-765 statuses changed to "Case closed Benefit received by other means". Since then didn't have any updates about GC being mailed until today September 14th when I finally opened our mailbox and found this desired red envelope ! (no updates anywhere even now)
 
Wish everybody the best of luck with your cases:) Don't give up!

Good day Ladies & Gentlemen!
 
Got approval of I765 on 14 September.
AOS documents were filed on 14 May.

Hope this helps to everybody else who waits.
 
 

Just received our green cards today exactly one week after interview!

I got my card exactly a week after my interview but it can vary. I also had a trip booked about 2 weeks from the interview.
 
If you get approved before the trip then you can get your passport stamped through an infopass appointment. That stamp will allow you to prove your PR status.
 
What I did was pre-schedule an infopass a week from the interview in case the card wasn't gonna come in time.

I am another one!! Interview scheduled! we filed June 4th. San Diego, CA 
 
Interview Was Scheduled
On September 4, 2018, we scheduled an interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCXxxxxxxxxx. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Aaaaa!! Today mu status changed to "interview was scheduled" too!! San-Diego, California!  🤩Waiting for the letter with date !!!
We field June 11 

Green card came in the mail today, what a relief. 
 
The USPS tracking actually said it was delivered yesterday to the mailbox but it wasn't there and I was really worried that they misdelivered it. I read that USCIS will make you pay 450$ to replace it if the tracking says it was delivered which is complete BS. 
 
The way they send these important documents out is not secure at all. I wish they'd just hold it at the post office and require ID to pick it up - that's what they do it Canada for passports.
 
Anyways, I hope to hear about more progress and good news on your journeys soon!

I just had my AOS interview at the Raleigh NC field office. Went through the usual airport style security to waiting room and waited for our number to be called.
 
We got called in by a friendly officer. He told us he needed a copy of our marriage certificate because he couldn't find it, so I gave one to him. He asked me some basic biographical questions and some of the yes/no questions from the AOS packet. He said that since the K1 was done that it's already been shown relationship is real. He then asked how we met, when we decided to get married, and when we first met in person. We had nice little conversations with him just about everyday stuff throughout the interview. It seemed to have gone well. He didn't ask for anything else aside from the copy of the marriage certificate so I offered him the co-mingling evidence and he took it. He said that that would be important for the ROC. He told us that we would probably get a decision within the next couple of days.
 
The whole interview probably took about 10 mins.
