Just had my interview today.
 
It was a combo I-751 and N-400, but the I-751 part was very short and easy (generally just questions how we met, we both answered that describing the story). They said the documentation we supplied when we sent original I-751 was sufficient and did not need anything else (I did submit some most recent bank statements, phone plans etc to the N400 application online a few days before the interview though).
 
Then, my wife was asked to step back a bit, and we proceeded with the civics test and reading/writing tests. All nice and easy. Very friendly. Then we walked through the N-400 application.
 
The whole thing took maybe 20min total. Approved on the spot (both I-751 and N-400).
 
Should be getting my ceremony scheduled in around 4-6 weeks, so sometime in January.
 
No updates in my USCIS account so far (but the interview was only a couple hours ago). 
 
Glad to be almost done. Good luck everyone!

We got approved at the interview (ended at 10:45am).  Got card produced later today by 5:30pm.

Hi all.  In case helpful to anyone tracking timing, we filed for AOS in September 2019 and had our interview and approval in NYC today.  Good luck to everyone still waiting!  Full details of my spouse's case in my timeline.

Letter arrived today and the interview is December 9th.

Hi all! Just wanted to update you. I had my interview today at the Chicago Field Office. the officer was super nice and friendly. We got done with the interview and about 25 minutes later it showed "New card being produced." I'm so happy! I am so glad the wait is over. Best of luck to everyone else! 

The waiting part of our journey in the September 2019 filers thread ends today, with my spouse's Green Card being delivered just over 1 week after our interview.  This thread was a great source of information.  Overall I have to say everything about AOS went very smoothly except for the really bizarre RFE we got last year.
 
13 months from filing to GC was faster than we expected considering the NY Field Office is one of the busiest in the country, and of course the pandemic taking hold while our case was being processed.
 
Best wishes to everyone still waiting for speedy approvals!

That's great news! How many are left waiting still?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you all that I have received the GC today.
 
A heavy weight has been lifted off me and I hope you all can feel the same soon. It has been a long and intense journey! Best of luck to you all and see ya in two years for RoC 🙏🏾

Thank you!  Praying we get a nice officer that speaks Spanish. LOL

We are sharing this here so you have more details on our case and tips - in case this can be helpful. Since we had not received AP renewal NOA1, and it had been over a week that we received renewal EAD NOA1, we tried messing with the case numbers to find out if a notice was on its way for AP. After several attempts of adding or removing a number from the EAD receipt number and trying to use the same access code, we failed in finding any AP case that was ours. Thus, we decided to contact USCIS. We sent several messages through the new inbox feature on the USCIS website. Also, we submitted a case inquiry for the AOS and the EAD/AP situation on 11/11/2020 and 11/12/2020. Whether it was the renewals, the several messages, or the inquiries, we got the interview notification on 11/12/2020 for AOS. We had been on "ready for interview" since February 2020. Orlando field office is between 10 and 27.5 months as of today (11/13/2020) and our case was at 14 months since submission. So, all that to say, if it has been more than 90 days without a movement on your case, especially AOS, even if the processing times in your office are long, submit a case inquiry to see if it will generate something.

GC is already showing on USPS informed Delivery. They shipped today.

Hi friends.  Wanted to pass on an update that we had our interview this morning in NYC and received the approval shortly thereafter.
 
Our officer was great.  Friendly, professional and extremely thorough.  
 
@Fe.TaI really hope you get some progress soon.  
 
 

Had the interview today. It was kinda weird but probably the easiest part of the process. 
 
We waited about 40 minutes before being called. The officer asked for our passports, birth certificates, marriage license. I also gave him a court order saying I changed my name, but he barely looked at it.
 
He asked if I had a new medical. I said no because I wasn't required to do so. Then he asked for photos of us and other documents the showed both our names. Then he asked me If I have been arrested, been denied entry to the US and when was the last time I entered the US. All of that without making any comments. 
 
Then he asked my husband about his job. We told him he got a new job after the initial application, so we gave him a new affidavit of support and a new employment verification letter. He also asked if I was working, I said yes, and gave him my employment letter.
 
He finished saying everything looked good and we would get the card in the mail in 2 weeks. 
 
I reminded him one more time my name changed and asked if I would receive the card with the new name. He said: "Oh right, can I see the court order again?". I showed him again and he wrote down the new name. I also showed him my new SSC with the new name.
 
He said again we would get the card in 2 weeks.
 
The interview was probably only 5 minutes long.
 

Thank you!  Nice of you to remember and to write.  Very good to be so close to the GC for my spouse hopefully.

Our original interview was scheduled for April 13th and cancelled due to COVID. We just received our new interview date--November 2nd at the Detroit Field Office. 

I know you have been waiting a long time.  So happy for you!

Also pleased to report we got our interview scheduled update today, for NYC.

Received the letter today. Interview is on Nov 4th.

Thanks very much - that is really encouraging.  We just filed our renewal for my wife's combo card (which expires March).  

You're welcome and good luck!

Thanks!Yes,it was the combo card.
Congrats!Thanks for the info!

The EAD renewal process took us 1 month and 22 days to receive card.Good luck...

Next is Interview was Scheduled; how long that takes depends 100% on your local office waiting time.

congrats @mydas28- that was a long wait
