Congrats dear 

Sorry I meant - I’ve been waiting since August 2016

Wishing everyone happy holidays and merry Christmas ahead of time. I’m expecting to have my baby any day now, so I’m going to be gone for a while. I pray everyone gets speedy approvals. Congratulations to all who’ve made it a step closer to the finish line and please celebrate every victory. The journey to citizenship is a marathon and not a sprint. We will get there, but patience is key. Please for new filers, send everything you’ve got the first time and don’t wait for RFE.  RFE increases your waiting period and that can be frustrating. Remember you don’t need an attorney to renew your EAD. It took me 5 mins to complete the form and mail renewals in. I learned that lesson the hard way, but I never spent a dime again. Be the light you want to see and pay it forward. I was supported by this forum, so Im here to support everyone on their journey. God bless you guys and your families. I look forward to reading all the approvals I’ve missed. 

There is no shame in surviving abuse.  Honor those  who lost their lives due to domestic violence, and speak against domestic violence!.

Hi again all. I received my GC yesterday and finally the long journey is over 🙏 
Here's my ultimate timeline;
 
- I'm an NYC, Queens Filer back from April 2017; filed I-360 and I-485 concurrently,
- RFE'd in August 2018 for more details/evidence about the abuse,
- I-360 was approved in January 2019
- Interview date: November 2020 (there were 19 days between the notice and the interview)
- And after the interview I've received the GC in 9 days.
 
The interview was very smooth and brief. Took about 15 minutes. My attorney was present on the phone during the interview, as well. 
IO was very nice and friendly, asked my passport, medicals, state ID, divorce decree. Didn't ask my taxes, or anything else. Didn't even ask most Y/N questions. 
 
So the whole thing took 3,5 years but this shouldn't scare you. It's NY first of all, second, I received an RFE that delayed the process I believe 5-6 months, third, there was goverment shutdown and this pandemic... 
 
Well, don't lose your hope, don't give up. The light is bright at the end of the tunnel!
 
Thank you all for answers and help, special thanks to @Stillwinning!!!😊 for being a first responder:p on my questions and for the encouragement, too. 
 
Wish you all fast approvals and happy holidays! So long and thanks for all the fish!

The amount of EAD renewal doesn’t play a part in how long you’ll wait. You’re still within processing time for your renewal and you’ll get it soon. EAD renewals can take 6 months. You’ll get your card soon. 

Yessssss
