OMG I thought it was extra... I’m sending that in thn ... thank you soo much 

My case I quit a couple months back. Said I am at 121 days and now have job offer waiting. Officer mentioned they had it listed basically no rush cause my account showed I have my old work visa till November 2018 and active. That said I think you could for sure all around 180 days and say you will outside processing time.

Starting July 9th !
Going on vacation tomorrow - 
Best start ever !!!!

Guys ! 
Just got home and read my text - Change Of Status >>> New Card being produced !!!!!
YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY
IM SOO HAPPY - IM CRYING

Oh snap, sorry for your husband, it is never too late, fill them out and send them now, it is free anyways because your AOS is still pending, and who knows that might trigger something on your application and they will actually look at your file.
It was the case for me, I sent my AP late, 2 months after applying and I believe it helped.
Good luck and hang in there.
 
Sorry @Stt and @janet3 I really pray you get a surprise good email about your EADs this week, sending good vibes to you.

Your passport and airline tickets have to match to the letter. Upon re entry into the states present all of your documentation (including your wedding certificate).
 I have traveled most of the world....I know this one by heart 😏
Have a wonderful trip!

yeah, I'll try not too stress too much. The other documents are more important anyways 

Wooooo - hit 150 day mark today, and no EAD yet. Had to transfer 485 to Seattle, so I assume that will come end of the year? Just need this EAD asap.
I did an expedite request, but none came of it, assume its because my F1 OPT expires in August.

Hello! Fellow January 2018 filers!. I received my Green Card, 3 approval letters and my SSN yesterday and just today I received my Combo Card. Yehey! 

Hey guys! My interview went SOOOO smooth yesterday morning. The lady was so nice. I was WAY over prepared for it, and she didn't need many more documents. 10 minutes later, I got a notification saying MY CARD IS IN PRODUCTION!! WOOOOHOOO I am ALL DONE! (For 2 years) Hopefully there will be a reunion forum in 2 years for all of us reapplying! haha Good luck!

Yay! Finally movement for you! Good luck for your interview!

OK - at day 156, finally approved (Card in Production) for i-765
PD - Jan 12, 2018

Today we had our Adjustment of Status interview at the Atlanta USCIS office and were approved for a conditional GC! From filing of the documents to approval today, it has been approximately 140 days (nearly 5 months). We used a lawyer to file our paperwork, but we did not need her to join us at the interview today as we felt we were confident enough to prove our marriage was bona fide.
 
Our experience was as follows:
 
We got to the Atlanta USCIS office about 90 minutes before the time on the interview notice. I'd rather wait in the waiting room than wait in traffic or risk an accident delaying us. This was too important!
 
On entering the building, you have to pass through airport-style security detectors and belts, jackets and everything in your pockets needs to be put in a bin and X-rayed. I know some posts state that you cannot take cellphones inside, but we were allowed to take them in as long as you don't make phone calls or take pictures. Your USCIS field office may be different. We had an accordion style folder and a separate photo album with our pictures in a bag. We checked in at the reception on the main floor and were told to go up to the 3rd floor where adjudications happen.  We checked in once again on the third floor and you have to show your appointment letter and ID (both of you). You are only allowed to get your "appointment" ticket (think DMV token") 30 minutes before your scheduled time. We got our ticket - but for almost an hour and a half it did not show up on the screen. When we went back to check with the receptionist and she told us that our assigned officer was dealing with a case that was taking well above the normal time. It was frustrating watching so many other people who had come later than us getting called and then leaving.
 
Finally, our officer came out and got us. Before she will even let you follow her, you have to show her the interview letter and IDs. Then she led us through a locked door and to her office. She asked us to remain standing and take the oath. Since we had a lawyer, but didn't bring her along, we also had to sign a waiver. Then she took my biometrics (fingerprints) to make sure I was the same person. Then she took a picture with a webcam that will be on my GC (I guess?). After that, she asked us to hand over ALL identity documents, entry documents and documents showing that we had a bona fide marriage. I was expecting to hand this to her one by one as we went through the interview but she wanted it all right away. The accordion folder made this super easy and I had tabbed each of my documents with little Post-It file tabs and written on the small colored area what the document was. If the copy was already in the application then she just needed to see the original. If it was a new item, she wanted a copy. Luckily, I had all these ready.
 
Handed her :
Joint account statements Beneficiary statements for 401k (both ways) Life insurance statements US Spouse tax returns for 2017 (most recent tax year) + W-2s Employment verification letters for US Spouse (X works here since Y and is paid Z hourly etc) Paystubs for US Spouse for last two months (typically 4 paystubs) Joint bills with both our names, bills with only one name but same address Photocopies of health insurance cards with me as dependent Copies of both driver's licenses on one page both showing the same address Birth certificates (original and copy) Marriage certificate (original and copy) I-94 and travel history Sealed medical results  It was a lot of paper! She went through some of these, but mostly set them aside after glancing at them to put in our file. But she looked at EVERYTHING. As you can imagine, there's a lot of silence while she looks at papers we've supplied.
 
Then she started working on the I-130 document which is the initial petition to sponsor a spouse. She went through and checked all information with US spouse. Then she turned to me and checked all the information - parent's names, where they were born etc etc. Since I had a new job since the petition was filed, she made modifications to the file to account for the new employer. To be helpful, I recreated the pages of the petition with the updated information. She seemed to appreciate this. Then she made me sign the revised form since there was an update. After reviewing the entire I-130, she began to ask us how we met, our dates, have we met our in-laws, the ceremony etc. She would intersperse questions from the form with questions about our relationship. She was joking and laughing with us through the process, but I think this was to some extent to throw someone off guard or judge the body language of someone who was lying on the application. Pretty clever!
 
Then she began to ask me almost all of the Yes/No questions on the I-485 - this takes a while. You have to listen very carefully to what she is saying and make sure she has finished speaking before you respond verbally. After she was done with that, she started working on the computer again and began to approve the application. Finally she handed us a letter saying we had been approved (yay!) and explained how the conditional green card works. She also handed us a list of evidence that is needed to be gathered to get ready for the I-751 filing in one year and 9 months (90 days before the two year anniversary). Basically, she recommended just having a folder that you regularly put in everything on this list so that when you are ready to file your I-751 (removal of conditions) you are good to go! Smart idea!
 
Right before we left, I told her my driver's license was about to expire and could she please give me the I-551 stamp in my passport so I could get my license? Based on everything I had read here on VJ, I expected her to say no, but because we had developed a rapport through the meeting and she was apologetic for the delay, she tapped away some more on her computer and triggered some additional approvals and then wrote something cryptic on the approval sheet and asked us to take it downstairs and show it to the clerk. I went downstairs after thanking her and fifteen minutes later had the I-551 stamp in my passport that's valid for a year. 
 
By the time I got downstairs, my USCIS case tracker had already updated to say Card in Production which is what I think she did to get the I-551 stamp in the system. 
 
Happy to answer any questions you might have and wishing you all the best for a speedy and successful conclusion to your cases!

Yes there are 2 different sites, the DHS site sends you an unique code every time you try to log in.
Here it is: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

Ugh I feel your pain then but at least you can still work for the next 2 years. Sucks for all those who are waiting for their EADs for months and months while NOT being able to work at all. 
 
 
Yay Congrats!!! 

Hello guys, quick update:
 
Yesterday I got an email letting me know that my EAD is being produced. Yayyyy thanks God, I was jumping up and down like a kid. When I checked online, only the egov case status website updated, nothing on the DHS website. PD Jan8th, it seems they are going thru January at a decent pace seeing updates for other Jan filers.
 
Then today afternoon around the same time I got another email and text messages that there was an update on my AOS, I checked and my interview has been scheduled, Alleluya! Now time to get ready for it, while waiting for the letter.  Same here, no update on the DHS but the egov case status did update.
 
To other January filers, yours is coming soon, from the way they work, in the next few weeks I think.

Woohoo I hardly can believe it after this long wait:
I-485 approved on 05/24 card is being produced
and I-765 approved on 05/25
and all this without even going to an interview.

Hello,
 
I would recommend contacting your local Congressman or Senator and your Ombudsman and see if they can help get you some answers.
 
Good luck

Hi Guys,
Today my husband (USC)  and I went to green card interview. Before that I was nervous because I felt like we didn't have enough documents to prove our relationship. So we only provided our lease agreement, electricity bill, health insurance document, my military ID that my husband got it for me, around 30 photos of us, 4 pages of screenshots of our chat history and 5 pages of screenshots of our face book posts with both of our pictures on it. We didn't have any joint bank accounts or joint credit cards because when we went to the bank, I was told that I need either a green card, a US passport or a driver's license as primary ID to add my name onto his bank account but I have none of those IDs. I was a bit worried about this but during the interview, we explained to the IO and he was fine about this.
 
So the interview process:
 At the beginning, the IO looked quite serious. He asked us questions separately and did not allowed the other one to interrupt while one was answering questions. He first asked me  when and how I met my husband, my husband's date of birth, his middle name, where he was born, where he lived before, his family members, his job before, mother in law's name, have I met his family. Then he asked my husband the date of us getting married, my date of birth, my parents's name, where I was born, what my job was before I came here, do I work now.  Because my parents names are Chinese so when my husband answered my parents names, he was a little confused and didn't say them right. But the IO asked second time of my parents' names and finally he got them right.  
Then I gave him our documents, photos. He looked at our photos and my husband said we can explain our photos.  He took all of our photos.
 
After this part, he gave me a document telling me that I would receive my conditional green card and I need to file for removal of conditional green card for permanent green card within 90 days before it expires.  So I know I got approved!  Then he asked me some questions like if I have ever committed crimes, a list of questions and I all answered no.  
After we left USCIS, my husband and I were so relieved and happy that it went well. Then we went shopping haha 
 
In general, the interview went well and my husband and I smiled sometimes when we answered questions, so did the IO. It made the atmosphere not that stressful  
 
I hope my experience helps you guys and good luck in your interview! 
 

I'm so happy to see them finally getting to January for EAD/AP.

Congrats!! That is great news!

Congrats on the speedy (not really but quick enough) approval!! I wonder if it's because you applied for AP and EAD separately that you got approved fast. I've seen other example while people submitting two separately got it way faster than combo card. 
 
Anyway, my PD is 20 days later than yours and we basically have same timeline for other things. Fingercrossed I will get the combo card in a month!
 
No hopes for the interview since Houston is taking forever and even if the cases were randomly picked, I wouldn't be lucky enough lol.
