Hi guys! I updated in our WhatsApp group, but wanted to share on VJ in case not everyone is on there. 
Our I-485 was scheduled for interview today. PD date 9/21. AOS through marriage. NYC, but moved to Indianapolis field office couple weeks ago.
 
Update the past few days:
2/19 our EAD updated to new card being produced // I-485 updated to case is ready to be scheduled for interview
2/22 EAD/AP changed to case was approved // I-485 changed to Interview was scheduled
 
Was not expecting this kind of movement on our case, especially because it took 5 months for biometrics.
I definitely think it's because we are no longer in NYC lol. Who knows...

Congratulations. We have the same PD 9/21
Our AOS ready to schedule for interview. Hopefully next update is the schedule.

Congrats to people getting interviews already!
 
There is definitely a major difference between different field office interview waiting times. Some have really excessive waiting times (up to 2 years even, in the case of Seattle), and some have really short ones (~4 months, usually for smaller field offices). The official USCIS estimates are totally useless, but you can get good info by looking at the average timelines for different field offices on this site.

That was hellla fast. Wow. Congrats man!! 

Just received a text that our i-765 updated to Card being produced!!!! 
FINALLY🤩

I love hearing this kind of news 😊. 
Congrats. 

I’m back!! (old account had issues)
 
After reading your message I had a chat with Emma and my Biometrics was also sent 1/15 we have same PD 9/21 so that prompted me to ask.. We seem to be moving at the same pace 😊😊 we got RFIE same day and bio appointment same day lol 😂 
 
I have also responded and mailed my RFIE so hopefully my case begin to move.

They’re definitely moving at a slower pace and many are in the same boat, so dont feel like it’s only your case . If you didn’t file with I-944, you’ll likely get an RFE soon, many of us already have. Or, there’s the chance you could get lucky and not get one. In terms of biometrics, I believe from this thread and our WhatsApp group, many are still waiting including myself (PD 9/21). With the holidays and all, I wasn’t banking on getting an appt. Some August filers have yet to receive biometrics, too. Hopefully better news for all of us in 2021! 

That’s awesome! We are still patiently waiting 😣

Wow, congrats!!! It really is the luck of the draw... I filed 9/14 and still no movement for biometrics (like many others that I’ve seen in this group).  Keep us posted if you see more movement  

Wow, indeed lucky. Seems like most people here are waiting for biometrics LOL. I’m sure earlier month filers would have this info, though  

Public charge struck down again! (For now)
 

Wow, that’s great . I know someone who filed in August and is still waiting on their bio date   Good for you guys!

Woohoo!
Biometric appt paperwork received today!! 

Everyone’s case is different, but from what I’ve seen on VisaJourney it can take anywhere from a few of days to two weeks (or longer) before  texts are received. For us, personal checks were taken out on 10/4. Texts received 10/6. Physical NOA received in mail on 10/14. I’d give it another week. In the meantime, it doesn’t hurt to keep reaching out to them... I would if I were you. 

I would send the i765 in ASAP because we don’t know when you will receive  i944 RFE. Could be a while, I would not wait. Weird you only got NOA on i765 and nothing for i485? Pretty sure you re-send the updated i765 with i485 receipt so you don’t need to pay the fee... maybe someone can provide insight on this. 

Checks went through!

I did not submit i944, but anticipate an RFE for it. I would separate each i-form, though. You don’t need to put each i-form in a different envelope - use paper clips. It’s extra work for them to open every envelope. You really want to make their lives easier. 

Thanks. I found the logic the numbers serially follow so I got the 4th number
