I finally received a letter from USCIS for my interview. 

Same here. It’s been a little over a year now. Filed requests and had an Infopass visit. We were told that due to change of address which happened half a year ago they waiting for an opening for the interview. 
Is there any other way to hurry it up? 
Our lives have been in limbo for this whole year and nothing seems to be done. Just wait.
how are you guys, those who waiting still, holding up?
A week.

I received my green card this past Monday! So thankful to be done with this process for a little while, praying for everyone still waiting! Good luck everyone

So after being upset about the medical exams which we had to do again because the process has been so slow, we go them done with Dr. who charged a more reasonable fee than most we could find ($281, here in the Austin area).  So, $562 plus our $40 in copays for the shots & TB tests.  $602 more down the pipe.  We sent the I-683 in on Monday via Fedex which delivered them the following day to the San Antonio office.  Wednesday (yesterday) I received a call directly from the officer that was processing our applications.  He said he had just approved Rebeka's but that he didn't have our step-daughter's I-683.  I explained that we sent them in two separate envelopes because they were two separate RFEs.  He said he would track down our step daughter's I-683 and would "probably approve" her as well.  So here's hoping.  He said Rebeka should have her green card in 7-10 business days.
 
So we didn't get sent to the back of the line.  We hopefully will be done for 2 years.  Then we start up all over again.

My interview is scheduled on the 21st this month. They updated my case online yesterday and it says “document was mailed to you”. Anyone knows what document it could be? We already received the interview notice a few weeks ago so I thought it was weird.

I just received an email saying card in production. Yayyyyyy! Thanks to everyone for your help, and good luck to those who are waiting!

Cangrate🎊😀

She did not say how long, however we just received our "Card Is Being Produced" update
 
So happy and excited about this! Huge thanks for everyone + this website as this is all we used to file (no lawyer) and happy to see we had such a smooth process. Good luck to everyone here!

Hi Guys! Just wanted to update you all. We had our interview at the NYC office this morning was scheduled for an 11:25 interview. We weren't seen  until 1:30. I thought the officer didn't really show any emotion so it was hard to get a read and she was confused as to why we haven't traveled together yet, but after showing her all of our evidence and photos she told us we she was going to approve us pending any inconsistencies from the standard background check! So happy to almost be done

Had my interview today in the NYC field office. Brought an abundance of documentation (including weird stuff like a pet adoption contract from 2015 with both our names on it) and our 4mo daughter, so the interview was a breeze. The interviewer was very personable and courteous, which was a relief as I had spent days stressing and obsessing over every little detail, and trying to get my wife to remember dates and names of relatives, both of which she's pretty terrible at.
 
The only caveat was that since we had been married only 1.5 years at the time of filing (we married 06/2015, I filed for AOS 03/2017), my green card will end up being conditional permanent residence, valid only for 2 years. In 2 years, I need to petition to get those conditions removed. Not that it's a big deal, but after 3 H-1Bs and now this process in 6 years, I was hoping to finally have dealing with immigration over and done with.
 
I guess I still have one more time around the block to do.

Our interview lasted about 45 minutes and the interviewer was very calm. They asked many questions from the applications, the original forms were right in front of them, such as addresses, parents' names, etc. The only questions that surprised us were about his hometown and name, as they are very significant for his country and religion. We explained he is no longer religious and neither am I, which is something that drew us closer together. I recommend being over prepared with documents - we had a huge bag filled with documentation from our AOS application, wedding album, new evidence after marriage, etc and they seemed impressed.
 
They asked for our additional evidence and I handed them a stack of labeled papers including financial information, photos, etc but they didn't look at any of it except a Christmas card from my parents that included our marriage announcement on it. I suggest bringing evidence of your intertwined lives such as mail sent to both of you at an address, family greeting cards, etc. 
 
We were approved on the spot after the interview and given a paper! Our online case status updated a couple of hours later.
 
Due to a travel emergency we got the green card stamp in my husband's passport after the interview in the Infopass area and are traveling to see his family on Thursday!! This was a many hours long ordeal however and not something anyone can do right after the interview. But it is possible.

I finally have my interview scheduled for Feb 28! What should I bring and is there any thing I should pay attention to? Thank you all!

Wow i just got notification that says new card is processing!!!
 
finally!!!
 
i hope you guys will see something soon.

Card arrived yesterday, 6/27. 

Hello guys!
 
After 115 days of waiting my card is finally being produced! 
 
I am very happy! Hopefully the ones who are still waiting will also have good news this week! I understand how hard it is, but stay positive! 

Hey everyone!
I just found out that my EAD card is being produced!! I'm on day 92. I expedited my request through my local congressman office. If you haven't received your card within 90days I highly recommend that you contact your congressman's office :).
 
Hope you all get yours soon!! 

New card being produced (EAD) on day 106, interestingly this was exactly 3 months from the last update.
 
 

Based on my stalking of everyone else's timeline and my experience, 2-3 workdays for status change, and 3-5 days for delivery

I agree with @sherifkay... My husband is my main sponsor and I don't have any co-sponsor, but 5 working days after my expedition request, my case was approved
 
Submit a request to expedite and use the reason "financial loss" (not financial hardship), ask the congressman/congresswoman or senator of your district for help, and see what happens. The worst they can do is to process your case in the normal timeline...

That is not true. My expedite request was accepted, and I have no co-sponsor. It all depends on your reason for expediting, and the call center representative that attends to you.

Hi everyone, after months of waiting, the status for EAD application finally changed! I thank everyone who's helped me through and comforted me when I was at my lowest. I know this is only just half of the battle but atleast I'm getting somewhere  I can finally work and keep myself busy and helpful altogether. 
 
To those who have not received their ead's or not have any positive developments as of yet, I know waiting can be discouraging and awfully frustrating. It's really difficult for me to say that you just cheer up and keep your head high because doing that has been very difficult for me. I was always on the verge of breaking down until my status change.   Just remember it will come, and when it comes it will be fulfilling and that moment will be priceless. Also, you can try to email your congressmen and senators to ask for assistance. You can also send service requests as often and as much as you can. That's what I did, I don't know if that's what brought me here, but it wont hurt to try
 
My timeline:
 
AOS/EAD/AP sent: 03/03/2017
Received (PD): 3/07/2017
NOA1: 3/14/2017
BIOS: 4/12/2017
EAD approval: 6/19/2017
 
Location: Dallas, TX

if you have a job offer, why don't you use that and expidite your EAD?
Thank you for your wishes, and my thoughts are with you in hoping you get some positive news this week. 

Mini update: After not receiving an email on the completion of my service request and expecting a letter this week.... I checked my status this morning and my case status has changed to;
 
"New Card Is Being Produced" 
 

 
Very excited, and sending all my positivity to anyone who needs the positive vibes for the upcoming week. 

Card was mailed today 2 days after status changed to Card Being Produced.
