Had my interview at the Boston Field office today. 
 
like @probingoduke said, the list of docs that came with the interview letter is good enough, in my experience anyway. That’s ALL I went with.
 
I (beneficiary) was called in first and went over the i485 form to verify if anything had changed. Only my new job was updated.
 
Questions asked:
-Name, D.O.B, spouse name, current address?
-Do I have allergies, does my wife have?
-Do we live in a house or apartment?
-Single or double family house?
-what floor of the house?
-Does anyone live with us?
-How many brothers do I have ? How many sisters? Any of them live in the U.S?
-Do I smoke? Does wife smoke?
-Previously married?
- What did we eat last night? Where did we eat?
-Did we eat together?
-Who made the food?
-Any tattoos on me? On my wife? What does it say? What part of the body?
-Location of washing machine? How are they stacked/placed?
-Any pets?
-Do we rent or own? How much is the mortgage payment?
-Any children, is wife pregnant?
-where I work? Where wife works? Job title?
-How did we get to the field office? How are we going back?
 
Then he asked if I had any docs I wanted to show him. I showed him pics, insurance cards and credit cards. He asked if he could keep them, I agreed and he kept them on file. He asked If I had any questions for him...
 
Then he walked me to the hall out one door and took my wife inside through another door making sure that there was no interaction between us. Went through the questions with my wife and told her we would get the card in mail within 2 weeks otherwise we should contact them.
 
I got the “your case has been updated to ‘card is being produced’ “ text message before we got home.
 
 

You can only get that removed once you have your GC. It does not affect the SS card in any way.

According to @mat2291,
 
1. Tell emma to “Chat with a live rep”
2. Emma will ask what you need a live rep for. Choose “Case Status”
3. She will then ask for your case number
4. She’ll confirm if you want to chat with a live rep.
5. She’ll then connect you to Tier 1 via chat. They’ll ask standard questions to confirm identity. Ask for your tracking number.

New update: 9/1 husbands EAD card was mailed! Today 9/4 got the notification that our green card interview is ready to be scheduled! 🥳

It’s official! I finally got my combo card in the mail!
 
Here’s my timeline:
August 12: AOS/EAD bio @ Milwaukee ASC / case status updated to “fingerprints were taken”
August 14: Called to request for EAD expedite
August 17: Expedite request received / AOS updated to “ready to be scheduled for an interview”
August 18: Expedite request denied
August 26: EAD new card is being produced
August 27: EAD/AP approved
August 31: EAD/AP approval notices received / EAD card was mailed to me
September 2: SS Card received
September 3: Combo card received
 
Like I said, I’m not sure if asking for our congressman’s assistance helped with my approval. The day before I got approved, they received my documents and the person I was talking to said that they were going to send it up to the USCIS that same day. 
 
I didn’t have biometrics appointment for AP and was told that I have to come back. I didn’t receive an appointment and they just applied it to my AP (Thank God!). 
 
Hoping everyone will receive great news soon! This has been crazy 🤯 Always grateful to this forum. 
 
Stay safe everyone. God bless us all 😊

Hello everyone! Just got another update. Card is being produced! Never got the approval notice or anything but hopefully I get my card soon! 

Got an update on my case just now for EAD. New card is being produced.

Thanks. We have identical timelines up to NoA.
 
Have you checked processing time for your local office to see if that’s what slowing down your process.
Hope you hear something positive soon.

No approval notification. It went directly to card is being produced.

Also got Biometric appointment (for 08/14) in the mail. Apparently, mail came in on Friday (according to informed delivery). Just checked after seeing @David_Norway’s post about getting his. 

Application received: 02/26

Online status also hasn’t updated as at time of this post. 

 

Yes, initial biometrics. ASC is in Boston, reopened on 07/13 I believe.

Just received my biometrics appointment letter!! August 11th in Sacramento, CA. Very excited!!

Additional info: The notice was for I-485 and I-765, not I-131 which I also filed. My case status online has not updated.

Hope more of you will get good news next week!!

Anyone in Boston with a biometrics appointment scheduled? So frustrating.. I filed beginning of March and nothing since then. 

🤞 i really really hope your right. I need to stop checking VJ and case tracker...its become and obsession this week. Have a good restful weekend. Back to the battlegrounds on Monday.

Congrats.
Did he do his biometrics before the lockdown?

Your RFIE notice came fast. Still haven’t got mine in the mail.

I have a suspicion of what my RFIE may be about. I never got my NoA2 during the k1 process. Was only notified that my case was with NVC and that was how I knew of my approval. So during my i485 application, I was not able to submit the noa2 notification. Just submitted NVC letter, my k1 visa page and i94 as substitute with a note that I never received the notice as advised here on VJ.
 
Anyways, until I get the notice....

Thanks for the encouragement. That would be nice.
