Google who your House of Representatives that represents your district, then either call them to discuss the situation or look on their website for their "Authorization" form.  I honestly don't suggest Senator because if you think about it, Senators are representing the whole state.  Your congressman/woman is representing the 'district' you live in, thus in theory closer to the voter / doesn't want negative press about not assisting their voters.  Immigration is already a hot topic in the USA.
 
I already had to do the above for my wife's SSN because SSA was not giving us any answers nor making any effort.  We finally got some traction in the last 2 weeks. 
 
Ultimately they might not do anything, but as an American voter, I want my voice to be heard by the person I'm giving my vote  to that a federal agency is doing a bad job.  It is a whole lot better than complaining to USCIS since we read the pages upon pages about  Tiers 1, 2, etc being total buttwipes to us.  If your congressman/woman does nothing, then guess what?  We get to raise an example to their campaign staff come elections and throw our vote to someone else
 
What do you waste anyways?  30 minutes of your time telling your story, filling out an authorization form, and then waiting to see what happens?

Ah the long wait out of the Nashville office!

Reached out to Senator Warren yesterday and I just got a call from someone in her office.  She said if we sign a release form, Elizabeth Warren will reach out to USCIS on our behalf and ask about the biometrics. Hoping this means we're actually getting closer to some real answers!

We're still bashing Social Security to tell us whether my wife is approved or denied.   We went last week, and the guy was super puzzled on why their system wasn't giving any type of Yay or Nay on her application.  We filed for it 2 weeks after she arrived (April 18th).  We were suppose to get a call back either last Friday or this Monday, but nadda.

We completed my wife's biometrics today.  Now the long wait approaches for her GC interview :(
 
On a nice note, we did go to Charlotte and visited some Brazilian shops.

I'm giving our SSA office until Monday to hear something, else I'm going to Plan B - contacting the local congressman about it.

My interview was scheduled today oct 22 2018 ❤️

Probably congressional pushing from within forced them to make this change.  Why would USCIS have motivation from within to change their processing times?

It is sort of becoming a joke on the EAD/AP estimations now.  Love seeing the new emails weekly of our status being pushed our farther and farther

The hoops our lovely government forces us to go jump through.  Makes absolutely no sense.

Wow, I am able to see our case online! It shows they received a request from Social Security Administration. I used this link though: https://www.uscis.gov/save/casecheck . The link you provided just had a log in but it doesn't say how I can create an account. If there's some other place to check, please share!
 
That sucks! You might have tried this already but I have read that going to the office will be better than just calling. I also am able to see my SAVE case progress with the link I shared above. I just picked a Document ID that I had and it worked.
 

Got my wife's biometrics appointment in the mail today for 6/6.

That sucks.  I've added the tracking app (didn't know about it during our K1 process) to watch my wife's progress.

Also received our NOA1 forms in the mail yesterday.  Now we're just waiting on my fiancee's SSN to come in. Already been a month now of waiting for it..

Got our case numbers via text today.  Time to rock on till the NOA-1 arrives.

So, like many people I filed my own K1 application and read a lot of forums and visa pages online including this one with a video https://rapidvisa.com/required-adjust-status-within-90-days-fiance-visa/ this stating you do NOT need to adjust status in the 90 days, just marry which I did.
 
I have also been in FB groups of people who married late in the 90 days and adjusted status just fine. 
 
So basically, I entered mid Dec, married late February and even though I couldnt find anything on USCIS about a deadline to file, I was really trying to do it within 90 days so I could finally sit my driving test on receipt of NOA1. 
 
I had it all completed ready to post with a signed cheque and everything but my husbands 1099 tax form which had been posted in error to his old address. Knowing I needed it for the affidavit, I made what was now a HUGE mistake to wait for it. I was 2 weeks over the 90 days at this point.
 
I was in the car at a traffic incident and the police officer asked to check IDs, I happily showed my passport as I did not think it would be a problem. Well it was, I was arrested and Border Patrol came for me and would not let me go home to show them my completed pack, nor the proof we had chased the rogue document. 
 
I was taken to the Border Patrol offices for processing taking 7 hours then sent straight to jail where I have been for 5 weeks. The ICE deportation officer who could have given me bail refused to grant it me despite me getting very ill with my medication being stopped abruptly and said ALL immigrants are now forced to wait to go to court and be seen by a judge as you are immediately in deportation proceedings on arrest. It took 4 weeks to get a court date and a further week to get a bond hearing. I ended up paying for a lawyer and paying $5000 bond to get out of jail for what I could have resolved within days had they let me get the tax form. 
 
I have read all the USCIS site and cannot see anything about the need to FILE in 90 days, just marry. I appreciate some people may know this but I and many others I have spoken to did not so this post is merely a warning to others. I have lost all my money now being unable to work as my EAD was in the pack to send off, I lost my honeymoon, I have more court dates now and lawyer fees to pay plus the AOS filing fee when they let me do that. This has been distressing and terrifying and having never been in trouble in my life, jail was dreadful. 
 
(Also on a side note I saw a lot of people in jail who had actually entered illegally from Mexico living in the US for many many years and their treatment was appalling. Not one person in the jail spoke Spanish and all the legal papers they were served were in English with no translator.)
 
Please be careful when reading online about filing for AOS, learn from my mistake as I have lost everything and to add salt to the wound, as I only have my husband here, who had to keep driving to the jail and also to the court in Cleveland, he now lost his job for too much time off trying to get me out. 
 
Hopefully he will get a job to be able to continue the affidavit or I’ll be getting sent ‘home’ where I have nothing to go back to. I have never felt so desolate as I do now and stuck. 
 
Thanks for reading. 
 
 

As of now, the processing times aren't too bad for Nashville (10-18.5 months) compared to other offices nearby.
 
Atlanta 11.5-18.5
Charlotte 7.5-19.5
Louisville 11-22
Memphis 11-22
Raleigh 7.5-23

Not too bad, but then you go surfing around the AoS threads and see accelerated interview times out of some offices.  Gotta love our government. 
 
My wife's paperwork was delivered yesterday to the lockbox, so time to continue the waiting dance!
