Still Waiting

I filed for my wife here in Houston and our schedule is as follows. Take into consideration, everything was sent on November 9th 2016 via Fed-ex from on our home to the Chicago office.
Current Status

I-485 January 13, 2017 - "We are Ready to schedule your interview."
I-130 November 14, 2016 - "Case Was Received"
I-765 (1) February 23, 2017 - "Card Was Mailed To Me"
I-131 February 21, 2017 - "Case Was Approved"
______________________________________________________
I-765 (2) Renewal - December 20, 2017 Case Received (Pending)

The Houston office is extremely slow, and I have no idea when my wife will get the letter for the interview as well.

Good luck.

Waiting

Sent Package first days of June, did Biometrics and received EAD after 105 days. It's been 8 months since PD and I haven't heard anything. My 485 status is still states Fingerprint fees received. I wonder if it will ever change to ready to be scheduled for interview?

[Nat1979]

still waiting

PD 10/07/2016
08/14/2017 case is ready to be scheduled for an interview
3 service requests - no response

EAD expired (filed renewal in December and its pending just like I-485)
Med exam expired (I couldn't imagine it would take more that a year)
Now the biometrics is about to expire on March 4th

I mean, med exam is extra $ but how do you deal with fingerprints???

Here are a link that lists which categories of AOS qualify for automatic employment authorization extension. c(9) is one of them. Hope this helps. Hang in there or move or hire an attorney elsewhere. Houston is too congested.
