Update: EAD approved 11/5 as well as card being produced. 11/6, it was sent out in the mail. 485 is now sitting at "ready to be scheduled an interview" in Cleveland. 

I would suggest you make time to go for the interview on the scheduled date and let them turn you down at the field office. People have experienced issue with USCIS scheduling problem, it will be better in my opinion to go with the initial interview and the cancellation letter. My reason is sometimes the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing in some instances within the USCIS offices. 

Hey guys, just an update that I received the physical EAD card in the mail today!!! Here is my timeline:
 
6/10 Expedite requested on the phone with Tier 1 agent
6/11 Expedite Request Denied due to missing biometrics
 
Few days later we contacted our congressman for help 
7/6 Expedite Request Approved 
7/7 EAD/AP Approved 
8/17 Biometrics Completed / same day case changed to New Card Being Produced
8/19 Card Mailed
8/22 Received the physical card in my mail box 🎉

The biometric appointment finally came today and is schedule for 10/21 for the San Francisco Office. Hope everything else will be smooth sailing from here.

Received my I-485 approval notice today. PD - 23 apr 2020. Just waiting for the actual green card now. Best of luck to everyone, hope y’all get approve soon. 

I called USCIS this morning.

Had our interview today. The officer asked how we met , evidence of bonafide marriage/relationship,  the long yes or no questions from the form i485 and thats basically it. Got approved on the spot. 

Hi guys,
 
I received my SSN on Saturday Sept 26th, 2020.
 
I travelled and my husband received it in our mailbox. He made it a surprise by not telling me via phone call until I got home last night.
 
Glory!!!

Congrats. When did u have your biometrics done and on what grounds did you expedite?

I did biometrics on August 11, expedite on job offer ... financial loss & health of spouse

It is good news. I am hoping I will have my greencard in time for it's renewal....

My spouse medical report and receipts, my job offer letter

Sure, it’s on financial loss and medical ground, I had a job offer and my spouse is ill. Had my biometrics on 11th and called to expedite on 12th, faxed evidence same day and status changed on 13th. I think I got lucky. 

My appointment was really fast and easy. Took like 10 mins total. About provision for military spouse, not in this phase. There are provisions for naturalize phase. Walk-ins just for active-duty military members they said

WOW thats awesome I was going to mention, I wonder if the I-485s would be a lot quicker since usually right now we would be receiving them already. USCIS was still working on cases just not biometrics because it was in person. Could be they have worked on cases already and just waiting for the BioMetrics too release cards. Wishful thinking but you never know.

Biometric appointment came in the mail! woohoo! California....

Got my biometric notice yesterday. 10 August Sioux Falls, SD. Priority date 27 April. Received a RFE back in July 25 and working on that one. Deadline to submit RFE is September 24. Reason for RFE was petitioner income 

Here is a quick update on our case. We went to my wife’s Biometrics appointment in Pomona, CA yesterday morning and it was quick and painless. No other filers in the office but her. She got there about 20 minutes before her appointment and by 9am she was done.
 
Well yesterday evening her i-765 EAD changed status to fingerprints have been taken and applied to your case. This morning the same thing happened with her i-485 AOS to reflect the same exact change. Her i-131 AP remains the same with no status change and that makes sense since the biometrics letter did only specify the receipts numbers for i-485 & i-765 and not the i-131. However, we were told that both the EAD & AP apps will be processed together since they keep them together when turned in simultaneously with the AOS packet. Since these forms did generate separate fees, USCIS is aware that they all came in together. 
 
Anyhow, looks like things are moving along pretty well and that the fingerprints are being processed and cleared in record time right after the visit to the ASC as long as the criminal record is clean. I hope that this holds true for everyone else patiently awaiting their turn. Good luck and waiting to hear back on updates from your cases as well. 

Yeah I meant the NOA1, as far as I know, they go off of that order.. 
sadly it’s already been delayed so much because of COVID and it sucks! 😞

Also got some good news through the mail today - Biometrics Appointment 14 August in Los Angeles
 
the APPs did not show ant status change nor The USCIS site
 
- will bring thr Marriage Certificate along - just in Case - but the NOA does not mention it.

I got my biometrics appointment today. My appointment on 8/11/2020 Brooklyn New York. I’m so excited that things have started moving. My NOA was in April 24th. Good luck guys !

It says only military members will be process as walk ins.

For military members or family members also? Thank you.

Just got my appointment letter today in mail for biometrics. Scheduled for 11th August in Greer SC. Looks like lot of movement for April filers.

Just received Asc biometrics appointment letter in the mail for my wife today.
