Any January Filers receive EAD card or interview notice?

Congrats!!! That's great news!

Thanks! My field office is Atlanta and their processing time is 10-22 months so I'm glad I got an interview soon! I was praying for months that I'd have a quick case!

Omg guys!🤗 So I called a level 2 officer again and she said my i765 is still pending but she said my i485 is updated and a letter was mailed yesterday for my interview appointment on 31st May! The validation error is still there.
Those of you still having error message on your i485 I advise u to call & find out about interviews! Good luck to all! I'm so happy that I did everything by myself and with the help of u guys and I got no RFE's! God is so good!

Yeheyyyy! Congratulations!!

Awesome. Nothing new here. Question.. since I got an RFIE but my case is "no longer on hold" as of March 8, is March 8 my new PD or am I still able to count the days using Jan 30 as a point of reference? I am getting super frustrated at this point this everyone around me (in this forum) seems to be getting interview invites for May already

Didn't I bet $1 dollar you'd be next? I am losing track of my bets now. Very well done! I just downloaded the USCIS Case tracker app. I am starting to see where those processing times come from. If you look at the data from 500 applications, it's just a small number of cases that gets through without RFEs. Sure, 50% of cases are processed in 10 months in Atlanta BUT to me, it seems like they are taking care of low hanging fruit; i.e., well-put together, error-free cases, like yours! And those will take a lot less. Zero RFEs is the key.

Remember, adjudicators are in a production environment. They get performance evaluations based on how many cases they adjudicate accurately. Having a zillion cases pending RFE responses does not favor their numbers.
We got the "your case is ready to be schedule for interview" update yesterday. That's 39 days since 03/16/18 - priority date.
Congrats! An early interview starts the clock toward citizenship right away. All the best!

It's not an issue. On the instructions on the USCIS website it states that they advise not to send it in with the package because it may expire by the time they are ready to interview the applicant, given the fact that some cases take long to process. This will be a disadvantage to some applicants because they would have to do the i693 all over again and it's not cheap! I didn't mail mine and I got a courtesy letter reminding me that I didn't send it in and to bring it to my interview. It's clearly not an issue because my interview has already been scheduled!

Here is a screenshot of the I-693 courtesy letter my spouse received. RFEs are pink. Courtesy letters - at least, this one is yellow. As the letter states, they did an initial review of evidence submitted with the AOS application and the only item missing is the I-603. Once you get to this point, you know the next step is "Case is ready to be scheduled for interview".

All the best.

New Card Being Produced

So I just got this update on USCIS app for my i-765. I'm also expecting my green card soon. The officer told us within 2-5 weeks we'll get it. I wish I had gotten this EAD sooner, I also applied for the SSN on the application. My question is, will I receive a SSN card? If so how can I remove the "work only" on the SSN when I get the green card? Or do I apply for a new SSN with the GC?

Hey..
you will have to go to the SSN offices to get one without ristrictions once you get your green card.
