Ah, FL. I have heard Jacksonville, FL is the fastest in the entire nation. Small number of applicants. And thanks, I’m hoping that happens within the next few months cuz my EAD was just mailed. And you wouldn’t need EAD once your GC interview is approved and GC is issued. I’m assuming your GC interview is in May so your EAD process may be discontinued once your GC is Approved if you still haven’t heard regarding EAD yet. Hope that make sense. @K1visaHopeful is better at explaining at this.

Thank you so much for such thoughtful and well written response. I will keep my process updates here as I get new information available.

Tampa field office is very fast, professional and overall amazing office too! 

Hoping your process goes smooth!

Hey congrats!!! Which state are you from? 

I’m a late December filer too but I think GC interview will take a while here since I’m from a large city with hundreds of applicants.

I wish that your process goes fast and easy too! We are living in Tampa, Florida. I am very excited that the case got to move fast.!

If your medical from your K1 Fiancé visa was less than a year ago, you wont need another one for AOS

Congratulations!

Thank you! 
We are actually doing it via marriage-based. I'm in the country already, so I was a little bit confused about this exam ?

Hello everyone, I really appreciate  this community as it sort of gave me an idea of situation with this complicated process. My husband woke me up today saying that our case was updated and is now set to "interview is scheduled". I'm very excited. We had filed in late December days. I'm waiting for mail with instructions, but meanwhile, do I have to get my medical exam done or is that for later? 

p.s MY EAD card is still pending.

Good luck to all of us !

Thank you everyone for your prayers! Our receipt  has been updated in the system today!

Currently one to two weeks.

Thank you! We are experiencing family emergency, and our field office was kind to assist us, however without pending i-485 not much can be done! I pray it gets to be assigned in system tomorrow... Can't sleep/eat/anything ..... Once forms reach Lockbox and until they are assigned number nothing can be done to expedite it. Called Tier 1&2 reps, sent emails to Lock Box... Worst Holiday season for our family so far

We are Florida Applicants!  Happy Holidays everyone

We filed i-130 and only month later filed AOS Package (i-485, I-864, i-765).

November 30, 2018: i-130 Received 

December 16, 2018: AOS package (i-485, I-864, i-765) Mailed

December 19, 2018: Received (Chicago Lockbox)

Still No Receipt for i-485. How long does it usually take to get form to be assigned receipt number?
