Same site, my.uscis.gov, desktop view.  I find it more effective than the app for adding multiple cases and checking the history.  

Good question.  In my account I'd added the MSC number for the I-485, but not the EAD (different by one digit), so I was flying blind a bit in retrospect.  I went ahead and added it today.  To answer your question, here's what it looks like in my account, see screenshot.

Got the EAD card notification earlier in the week, received the card today, sweet.

The key to your success in this process is to read carefully, interpret literally, and answer/comply completely & accurately.

Personal note:  Those of us who are finished with this infernal legal-immigration process might not contribute to every Progress thread, but we read them and cheer loudly upon every announcement of success.  May everyone here enjoy rapid approvals and progress to the next phase.

"Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" does not mean your interview has been scheduled. It merely means your application has reached your local field office and is now sitting in line waiting for an interview slot. 
When it changes to "interview has been scheduled" it means that you can expect an interview notice then.
You still may have a while to wait yet as it's based on your LFO'S processing times. Sometimes you will have this status (Ready to yada yada) for a year or more.

We've been patiently awaiting my wife's green card after K1; I'd heard it was usually quicker.  
 
Unfortunately due to the way the app works, I only saw the last update in the app, which was "Fingerprint Review Completed on Nov. 28th, 2018."  I thought we were stuck on that.  
 
It wasn't until I logged into the website today that I saw "Case is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" happened on November 22nd, 2018.  Unfortunately we never got this notice mailed to us, which isn't unusual, we didn't get things mailed to us in the K1 process.
 
I've done a little research and see the next step to wait for notice of is "Your interview has been scheduled,"  correct?  
 
Does the processing time indicate the time from receipt of I-485, or the time after "Case Ready?"  
 
 

Yes, it would be nice for it to be found somewhere online, as well as linking this case to my account for status updates.  I'm not big on paper files, but obviously the federal government still is.   Worst case, I could make an InfoPass appointment with the state USCIS office; this is how we ascertained the A-number post-K1 admission.  Like the USCIS online account number, it is sent in one letter only for the NOA2, and never mentioned again...

You should have your Vaccination sheet (DS-3025) still. If you don't, you can ask the civil surgeon's office who did your medical to provide you with a copy. If your vaccinations were completed you can submit DS-3025 only with your AOS. The USCIS office will have a copy of your K1 papers and your sealed envelope. They will know your K1 has been activated within less than 12 months.

You may be able to apply for your own naturalization even if you have a criminal conviction. You need to show that you have had good moral character for the past five years. 8 U.S.C. §1101(f). Some activities prevent you from showing good moral character:
An aggravated felony conviction after November 29, 1990 A drug conviction (other than simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana) * A crime of moral turpitude (unless it had a possible sentence of one year or less and you actually were sentenced to 6 months or less) two convictions where you received a sentence of 5 years or more giving false testimony to receive an immigration benefit serving 180 days or more in jail for any crime habitual drunkards, convicted gamblers, prostitutes, and smugglers. Dude, it's not gonna happen.

A personal note:  Those of us who are finished with this infernal immigration process sincerely hope and pray for progress in your case.

Had our interview today in Kievand the visa was approved, hurrah!  It’s a beautiful day.  We’d have been so lost and despondent without Visajourney.com. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for providing and contributing to this invaluable service.

Had our interview today and the visa was approved, hurrah!  Thanks to you all for all the help.  Where would we be without Visajourney?

Arrived back home with the fiancée (and the luckiest Ukrainian Pomeranian of all time) yesterday morning.  We are so relieved and a little exhausted, still.  We’ll get started on the SSN paperwork soon.
 
Quote from a customs officer after we were detained for K1 entry visa at JFK airport:  “you know you gotta get married by November, right? I don’t know much more about it so here you go, have a nice day.”  😂
 
 Just wanted to mention that the transportation of pets from Ukraine can be tricky.  While the USA merely requires proof of rabies vaccination, remember that it must be translated into English.   To exit the country, the government requires a vet exam at a state-run hospital.  This cost a whopping 18 UAH (which was made with a 24 uah bank transfer fee, lol).  We got this bill of health (supposedly also required by Delta Air but not checked) officially translated for 170 uah.  I noticed the dollar-hryvna exchange rate is getting close to 28:1 now, for comparison’s sake.
 
A mandated review and approval of the bill-of-health paperwork (which is valid for only three days) at the government’s airport office in Kiev cost 230 uah I believe.  I’d brought an airline-approved soft pet carrier and checked with and paid both UIA and Delta’s pet fees, $125 per booking.  You want to do this early because flights usually don’t allow more than 2 animals per flight.

This happens after filling out a DS-160 and paying the Interview fee (getting a receipt number), then registering for an appointment through www.ustraveldocs.com.  Go ahead and register an account there now so you’ll be ready.

YeaH!!!😊
 
On hold for 1 hour(speakerphone), but yeah...we were assigned a case number already...
 
I asked Jesicca last week to just quit her job so she can do the running around..for I want to go fast...
Now with case number,  things are going fast..
 
I arrive in Manila on 22nd...so we have time to get a few things done...
she has time to do things before I arrive..
BTW, ST. Luke's is closed Aug 21 and Aug 27, due to Holidays
 
 
IF all goes well...she might be on the same flight as me as I return...

Congratulations on your intense and successful entry!  Your pet information will certainly be of value to others.
 
Amidst the whirlwind of everything that's happening, remember to do this:  At your earliest opportunity after marriage, draft Wills, medical & general powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and other such documents.  These make outstanding evidence for Removing Conditions later, and they're even more crucial to have in "life."  Everyone on these forums who've taken these steps are glad that they did.

@Ducker get ready for the longer process of EAD, AOS now. Good luck

Picked up the visa today from the courier in Kharkov.  On the eighth day after interview with CEAC still saying “issued,” my intuition told me it was perhaps sitting in a warehouse.  Sure enough it was.  FWIW the courier is “TMM Express.”
