Extension letter is usually received within 2 weeks. It is rare to see it take over a month. 

Just got a notification from USCIS saying my EAD / AP renewal was approved and the new card was mailed out! Hope it arrives before my AOS interview on the 15th though...!

My wife and I just completed our AOS interview in Jacksonville today. I figured I would share our very positive experience with everyone here. 
 
We were originally scheduled to interview back in March, but that one was cancelled for COVID-19. 
 
Today's interview went great. Our goal was to be over-prepared with documentation, using the last 11 months constructively to build a strong case for my wife's AOS. Our interviewer came to the waiting room and led us back to her office about 25 minutes after our scheduled interview time. We sat down in her office, separated from her by a plexiglass shield, and took an oath to tell the truth. She conversationally asked us some questions about our story as a couple while she took notes of all our responses. Then she asked the list of yes/no questions from memory, which was actually kind of impressive. In spite of all our preparation, the IO didn't really require anything from us, aside from needing some documentation that showed our current address on it (we had moved twice since we submitted our package last October). 
 
From start to finish, the IO was friendly and professional. She identified herself as Officer Davis, and I believe we were incredibly lucky to have her as our IO. My wife was nervous going in to the interview, but Officer Davis put her mind at ease. At the end of the interview, our IO gave us the opportunity to ask her any questions, and then told us that if we wanted to give her anything else we had brought, we could. We gave her a stack of evidence to put in our file, but by that point, she already had enough evidence to make her decision. 
 
She told us we were approved! We watched her stamp our I-485 "APPROVED". Then she said to expect the green card in the mail, and explained the timeline for filing ROC. By the time we got home, the USCIS case tracker had already updated to "New Card Is Being Produced". 🍾
 

Thank you so much! I hope they will finally start scheduling interviews for all AOS applicants! 

As a fellow November Phoenix filer, I've been following your journey and I'm so so happy that they were able to get this sorted for you! Excellent news!
Sending all the best of luck for the interview!

Hello! 3 weeks ago I called USCIS military helpline to make an expedite request as my husband is getting deployed in November. I wasn't sure they would help because they couldn't help when I called them in June with the same reason. Anyways, i got a call from Phoenix Field Office  on Friday to schedule my appointment for this Tuesday. Still can't believe it worked! 

We got approved!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Green card in hand!
 

We waited FOREVER (ok like 2 hours) in the waiting room before our appointment started. The couple in front of us were literally interviewed for 2.5 hours. Have no idea if they were approved but that waiting sucked for us and the others waiting. We go in and were done in like 15 minutes. Interviewer said we had an easy case. Went through the application and asked the standard questions. Asked my husband how we met. Showed relationship evidence and our wedding photo album. Approved and interviewer had no concerns. It was smooth sailing!

I was APPROVED at our green card interview today

Today is one of the best days of my life!!
I have received an notification that USCIS has ordered a new card for me. Exactly 257 days since I filed for the removal of condition. I'm so happy and I feel like so much weight got lifted of my back. I would like to thank all of you with the information that I have read on Visa Journey that helped me prepare my paperwork for I-751 and people cases that I have read to avoid any unnecessary issues and RFE. I have never posted here but I read so many stories that help em with my application. Just BIG Thank You to all of you! I'll pray that you all get your cases resolved soon and that you will get the approval outcome. 
 
N-400 in 2 months!
