You are very welcome ! I did everything by myself so do not hesitate

Congratulations!
 
I am happy to report that we received my mom's green card in the mail today - 9/8/2021 (supposed to be delivered yesterday but somehow got delayed..).  Took 10 1/2 months start to finish - given everything going on not too bad at all!
 
I wish that all of your cases come to a successful conclusion soon as well! I'll check in on here once in a while.  Good Luck to everyone who is still waiting!

At least 2 years.

I'm wondering if I should do the medical exam now so I'm not affected by the mandate... Do you know how long is the physical valid for? 
I'm not antivax at all but I'm mostly home, in the US for a year now so I'm obviously not bringing any disease here, never been sick of flu/covid and my biggest reason, trying to have a baby, so I just don't see any benefits for ME to get the jabs. 

Some updates... I received my EAD/AP combo card about two weeks back. My EAD and AP is valid for 2 years. No update on the interview date. Still stuck on ready to schedule interview stage for 9 weeks now.

I'm hoping they pull their heads out and drop the mandates.

Latest update: We had our interview today (Sept 7) and the interview went smoothly. Upon checking our status later today in myuscis, it said that "New card is being produced".

I'm hoping it will only apply to the new filers ! Let's see 

That's what I've read also.  I'm wondering how current filers may be affected. Our interview and I-693 turn in is the 29th so we may be one of the last without that requirement. 
 
Nothing updated on the CDC vaccine list yet.

Yesterday I checked there’s none stated from uscis website yet.  But I doesn’t matter for me, I already have the vaccination since March 2021 

Finally I am able to share a worthwhile update for my mom's case - looks like both her EAD and AP were approved on 8/11, still waiting for the documents in the mail!  Just to recap her timeline:
 
11/25/2020 - Applications received
7/1/2021 - Biometrics (got the notice after raising an expedite request for EAD)
8/11/2021 - EAD/AP approved (re-raised the expedite request for EAD on 7/6/2021, not sure if it had anything to do with the approval or not)
 
I-485/I-130 still showing the initial case received status - so unsure about the next steps but happy to have atleast gotten her EAD/AP approved!
 
Hope to see more positive updates from folks on here, good luck everyone!

Hey ! Yes, today an agent on live chat told me I got rescheduled on 08/16 (but she said at 9PM?! maybe she made a mistake? Or do this poor people really work that late?) but USCIS prints my address in such a way that my apt number doesn't show on there so the mail goes back to them. The agent scheduled a call from a tier 2 representative, I guess they will be able to tell me where I can retreive the appointment notice without having it in the mail.
But I'm glad it did not take more than a month to be rescheduled ! I feel much better than last time I posted 🤣

They said someone from Tier 2 (I think he said that) is going to call in the next 72 hours... So I let you guess what I will do in the meantime? Yes, some more waiting 🤣🤣

I'm a little mad, just live chat with USCIS, told me "You just had your biometrics on 07/16"... Oh yeah did I? hahah Never received any mail, any email, any phonecall, wasn't even aware it had been scheduled... Didn't show on "my USCIS"... I was patient until now, but this really made me sad... been waiting that long and they are not even able to send a mail or update status on their own website. I don't feel respected at all 

I can finally also report some updates. I received today my biometrics notice for July 19. I am excited that my case is finally moving after7.5 months of waiting. My PD is November 16, 2020 and my field office is Baltimore.

Update! 
 
So, 56 days later of my case stuck at 'Interview Has Been Completed and Case Must be Reviewed',  my greencard is being produced and has been approved!
 
Now I just have to wait for the mailed status, and I won't have to worry about the process for awhile.
 
Still hoping everyone else's case moves along faster too!

Received my EAD/AP..valid for 2years💃💃💃

My interview is scheduled for July 15th at 11:45 am. 

Today my case changed to interview scheduled 😊. 

Finally, some progress. Biometric scheduled for July 6th. Got the letter in mail today.

I received my card today. Good luck to you all as well. See you in 2 years in "Removing Condition on Green Card" thread  

Yey !! Congrats ! I’m happy for you and your wife ! 
Thanks for the update !

I had my interview today. The IO was a nice lady. She asked my wife her name and DOB and my parents name. After that she asked me my wife's parents name. She asked us how we met. Then, she asked those Yes/No questions and that was it.  I gave her some new documents ( joint lease, car insurance , utilities bill etc.) She said everything looked good and verbally approved it. Later I saw the status for I-485 was changed to " New card is being produced"

Not sure if it'll make any difference but I put in a SR for I131 for being outside of normal processing times, figured no harm in trying!  I hope (& wish) more of us start getting biometrics letters soon!
