Received green card, here's my timeline for reference (June submission)

[Glorias]

Received my green card today. I've read a lot of useful info from this forum, and would like to share my timeline for whoever might need it. Generally, there is a long wait for EAD, but I see some submissions in September got EAD already, so maybe the situation is different now. Green card depends on where you're located and the local office's processing ability. It's a long wait, so during the process just be patient. Unless you have some urgency to expedite, just try to relax and enjoy life, don't waste time to communicate with USCIS if it's still within the time given or appear normal from other people's cases, because that will only make you more frustrated. Anyways, good luck to everyone!

I filed everything by myself. It's nothing complicated if you follow instructions provided for every form.

Plan for four months to get a work permit and study a certificate or something might be good

Thanks for sharing. Your EAD took four and a half months?! Damn, glad you managed to get it. Still waiting on mine.

Would you mind sharing what they asked at your interview? And which field office?

Click on my profile and see my posts, I shared my interview in an earlier posts under June submission.
I got my EAD a week earlier than the interview, but it's useful as I can get an updated social security card and changed my name, and also get my driver's licence. I didn't wait for green card to do everything, as i can't wait any more. I mentioned changing name during the interview, and I see the officer note it down, and I thought green card will reflect the new name, but it doesn't. I hope there's no problem for me to travel, as my passport is not changed yet, the same as green card, only social security and driver's licence are changed.

Sounds weird to me, but you should follow the notice anyways.
