I hope and pray your situation gets better, patience is key in these situations.
 
If you have a USCIS account i'd suggest uploading additional evidence on form i485 part 8 section 61- 68 with regards to the public charge make sure you selected 'yes' and not 'no' and answer all the sections.
 
This is what prolonged my process and gave me an RFE, maybe upload a new i485 and label it as section8 61-68 completed if you did not already answer that part correctly. I am pretty sure it will make your case for GC go a lot quicker.
 
If you already answered that correctly just ignore what I said, just hope your situation gets better, cause i have been there also.  
 

Agree with Osman .... I can't say for sure but have a feeling that uploading a "fixed" 485 helped move our application along.
 
Keeping hopes for a speedy completion for you @SaraClaire11
 

Got my EAD/AP card (finally!). 
I-485 also got approved on USCIS. If I want to travel and green card isn't officially delivered yet, I shouldn't have any issues with the AP/EAD being vaild and an i-485 approval notice, correct?
 
Thank you for all the support on here!  
Wishing everyone a speedy approval!
 

The entire process is criminal in my view, but we must all play the game unfortunately. 

Criminals

@Linn1
I have not been in the forum for a few months but was catching up on Friday and realized I too answered this one wrong. 😑 
 
We have been experiencing the 4 months to 4 weeks to 4 months back and forth so I’ve been getting annoyed. 
 
I resubmitted (online via unsolicited evidence) just the two pages with corrected answers on Friday, each one initialed, and a cover letter with explanation. That’s based on what previous posters did who had not YET received an RFE. 
 
Hoping it is sufficient! Haven’t heard anything yet but will update once I do. 

Gotta love the MyProgress tab for the I-485. A few days ago it said 2 months, then it went to 5 months and today it says 7 months, while the EAD still shows taking longer than expected.......such a cluster. No other documents have been listed either. In essence the program is unreliable.

Congratulations my man !
 
I hope mine gets approved soon too !

Totally agreed ..... 
Our EAD went into "taking longer than expected"  ... twice ...
Then AOS actually got approved ...

Funny thing is "myProgress" under AOS says it will still be a few weeks even though all other pages say it is already done (including having the approval letter in docs)

They really should just delete that since it is so inaccurate and generally useless.

Its absolute rubbish don't believe anything the 'myProgress' tells you.
 
My EAD 'Myprogress' changed to 2 months this morning but guess what..........
 
It was approved and I should be receiving it this week!
 
Hoping the i-485 gets approval too and very soon at that.
 
Keep your head up. and don't go off the progress just keep checking the 'Documents' section and you will find your 'standalone approval' sooner than you think !
 
All the best !

I-485 Approved Today.
Still no I-761 or I-131 (work or travel permission) ... but at least the Green will be on its way

Congratulations to your husband.
 
Hopefully we all get something before the new years...

I think that depends on the office. After my husband did biometrics on 11/27, it said an estimate of 2 weeks for EAD Decision. His EAD card arrived in the mail this evening.

Just don't believe USCIS time estimates that's for sure.
 
They are incapable of doing there jobs but very capable of taking our money and putting our lives on pause.
 
Hope you get something soon.

We had a similar problem .... Except, a few minor differences.
First, we attempted to get a RealID.  
First registration with CA DMV, no problem with Docs but didn't pass the test.
Second registration with CA DMV, passed test, but I-94 didn't have 60 days of validity left so couldn't continue 
AND ... Since married name didn't have a middle name, Nevada didn't give wife her preferred married name so had to wait for CA Court to legally change the name.

THEN when we went back to SSA to change the name, they couldn't as there was less than 2 weeks (validity) left on the I-94 at that point.
So, now we have to wait for EAD before we can proceed with SSN and perhaps with RealID.

Silly

Hi everyone! I just learned that there is a thread of AOS by month as well! Happy to see many familiar faces from the K1 forums. 
 
Just to give a quick overview of our timeline:
 
16 Oct: submitted packet
18 Oct: packet received
26 Oct: NOA1
 
Still waiting for biometrics to be scheduled sigh. Our local office is Providence, RI. 
 
As many are mentioning, the my USCIS tracking seems to be very off as both my AP and EAD would have been approved weeks ago lol. The estimate for AOS shows 4 months, but I highly doubt it. 
 
Glad to see so many of you already in the biometrics process!

Oh shoot… I just passed the knowledge test for the driving permit and they told me to change the name on my SSN card to my married name first before getting my permit issued. I’ll go to the SSA office tomorrow and see if they can update my name so that I can proceed with the driving permit. Not being able to drive is a big limitation in the Midwest🥲

@leva&Brian ....
Agree (unfortunately) with Osman ... timeline even on USCIS site is a poor estimator or tool to plan for anything.
We are stuck waiting on the I765 at the moment unable to get Drivers License or SSN Name update complete until the Government finishes with that .... aiaiai

I had my biometrics on 11/01 after that all it shows is - "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS" .
I had the same for EAD, at first it said 2 weeks and when 2 weeks passed I now have the same message without new progress estimate. 
 
For AOS it shows 5 months. Who knows how long it will take. As far I see here California cases are quick with EAD...
 
I do hope for early Christmas gift like EAD card in hand or combo, that would be amazing
 
 

mine had that statement ... then jumped to multiple months .... recently back to weeks (or a week) ...
I wouldn't trust the "estimated remaining time" at all at this point

Hi All,
 
Thanks for the info on this forum its really helping.
 
My NOA for my EAD was 9/27 and my biometrics was 10/31 still have nothing for both my EAD and AOS but it says they are actively reviewing my case.
 
on my online account the AOS states '5 months' on the 'Myprogress' section
 
for my EAD it originally told me '2 weeks' until case decision on 'Myprogress' after my biometrics appointment on 10/31. 
2 weeks went by a while ago and it is just stuck on :
'Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You will be notified if you need to take any action.'
 
Is anyone else in this same position? 
 
I just feel like i'm stuck in limbo all over again.
USCIS are insufferable they have no regards to us honest people who left everything, have came here legally, waited over 2 years and just want to get our lives back on track and off pause mode !
