I'm in Texas, Dallas office. 

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". 🍾
 

Any October filers still waiting for the interview to be scheduled?
My status is "ready to be scheduled" since January and it's really frustrating ...

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

Hubby and I are still waiting. It is frustrating but we have been just collecting our documents and cheering on those who have has their interview and have gotten their GC. Our time will come and yours will too. We are just hoping we have a nice CO who is in a good mood. 😁

Thank you. The hours were changed recently and since the post was made there is no way of returning to correct. I have noted it for April. Thanks for updating everyone.

Hi everyone! Our NOA2 is of March 13th and I hope we all get our NVC numbers soon!
 
Who can call NVC for the case number? Is it just the petitioner as in USCIS or can the beneficiary call as well?

If you are referring to his website then yes and it's even better. 
Yes both can call.
