You will not be out of status, it’s only your proof of status that expires. I’ll refer you to this post about work.

Hello guys! Long time no posting! Well today was my GC Interview!!! Everything went smoothly...they only asked us regular questions (real name, parents name, DOB, place of birth...) and how we met, when we got engaged and when we married...then they proceeded to interrogate me about the questionnaire on the form I-485 (if I ever smuggled drugs, were arrested, were here illegally, was a communist, have ever commited treason, etc...) 
 
I got a big folder with a bunch or records and papers but he only requested the health records and immunization records that I didn’t submit, and he asked if I wanted to show him anything else, so I gave him the elegibility package I made (tax returns, health insurances, rental addendum) and also some wedding pictures. 
 
He said the interview was gonna take 45 min but I think it was shorter than that, prob like 30 min. After the interview he said that he approved me and that my GC should arrive by mail in two weeks! 
 
I received my interview notice on June 14 but didn’t check the mail until June 24  I didn’t check my case online bc since I had my EAD already I didn’t bother and for some reason I didnt get an email alert. 
 
My office is the Portland, OR office and I can’t believe everything has happened so fast! 

Received my EAD and AP combo card today too . So relieved as I'm travelling back to the UK in 2 weeks today!

Congratulations 

Congratulations!

guys my status on the EAD changed to "new card is being produced"!!!! I'M SO HAPPY! FINALLY!!!! after +200 days waiting! 
 
now i'll wait impatiently for the mail! how long does it take to get to me?

Thanks for sharing your experience I just received an email saying they received my RFE and started working on my case again. Fingers crossed!!

lol  than answer was from over 15 days ago. I received a response from the Ombudsman saying that they are already reviewing my case with USCIS this week. 
 
I hope to receive answers next week!

I'm gonna give my 2 cents advice and tell you that look for jobs that are offered thru a internship or trainee visa (I think it's called J-1 visa), there are sites that tell you which agencies are sponsoring ones and probably you could find some in your area (teaching). You can get paid and stay legally but for a like a year and a half tops. Or if you have the means, look for a PhD or Masters too where they also pay you to be a teachers assistant, I think F1 visas (student visas) are not as difficult to obtain. 
 
Good luck! 

Update on my work permit situation:
 
+150 days and counting on my I-765, yesterday my moter in law sent an email to our congressperson (or senator) and today I sent an complaint form to our Ombudsman office. 
 
Hope to receive answers soon. 

We had our interview today with USCIS for AOS, we were approved! 
Very excited!

Our interview letter came on just a regular printed letter, no fancy NOA or anything.

The immigration officer was firm but friendly. She asked a lot of dates questions to my husband (birthdays, his mom's birthday, wedding date, when you entered into the US last, how many times etc.) not a lot of questions at all about our relationship or marriage. She asked for proof of our marriage we brought essentially everything that's needed for ROC that we had as of right now with both of our names (bank statement, health insurance cards, car title, car insurance, house offer that we just did on Saturday, preapproval notice from bank etc.) and photos. She was a bit frustrated that I didn't bring my 2017 tax documents or my original birth certificate. She asked my husband all of the questions, my husband and the translator sat in the chairs closest to her desk and I sat in the chair behind them, I was asked no questions at all (I am the USC). She said that it was very clear our marriage is legitimate and that we were approved.  

Hi gang,
 
Just another update... just to keep everyone feeling good. November 3 AOS filer. Wife's interview is scheduled for April 19 in the AM here in Oregon. Oh my are we a bit anxious. I would say nervous but my lovely wife is a wizard of getting all our documents packaged up and ready to go. Just anxious to get the next phase done and happy with the life we have. God bless all of you. 

Received my green card today which marks the end of my AOS journey. Good luck to everyone. I would still lurk around on this website and help anyone whom I can.

We're leaving to go to our interview in 10 mins, so nervoussssss. 
 
Let you all know how it goes  

I dunno if laugh or cry, 200 days? I might as well laugh, but looking on the bright side if I have to wait 200 days I'm halfway there 

goodluck! i called uscis today too and of course they told me to call them back again on wed coz its just 73 days this day so silly they are not organized its gonna be 75 day this wednesday they said 

I’m 94 days after my NOA but since I got RFIE they told me my clock starts from 0 since the day they received it...
 
What are you guys doing in the mean time? I tried to go to the gym or do stuff around the house like clean, I already watched the entire Netflix catalog, but not having a job and something to do it’s making me depressed, I hate not having money to do stuff I want, I haven’t even paid my phone bc I spend my little money on groceries.
