So close, yet so far. Because my paperwork was filed through an attorney, everything goes to the law firm first.
They just FedExed my EAD this afternoon, after having had it since Wednesday. It's supposed to arrive on Monday. Geez. More waiting...
Congrats! Just a few days more!

Update! EAD/AP card arrived via FedEx yesterday.
Now to appease the petty gods at the DMV before I can get my driver's license. Got turned away yesterday because they had to send my paperwork for additional verification. It's kinda dumb. I've pass muster with USCIS and they still need to check with USCIS. Totally bogus.
Yay /s
Case was filed in Virginia. My closest field office is in Fairfax, VA.

Still waiting also. Yes, its very frustrating. The fact that some people who filed in April are starting to receive their EADs is promising though.

Fellow Minnesotan! You're in for the long haul. The Minneapolis Field Office is just now interviewing people who filed in 08-2017. There are still people who filed earlier than (March, April, May, June, July) who have not been interviewed yet. Patience is key with the Minneapolis Field Office. The hope for most is that they'll reach their 2nd year of marriage by the their interview is scheduled. If you already have your EAD/AP, just go on with your life, and periodically check on your case.
All the best,
USCFFS
PS: By the way, it would be great if you add your timeline to your signature. It just helps others answer your questions. If you go to settings, you will see "edit signature" on the left hand side of the screen.
Thank you for your advise, I updated the signature.
I know that green card line is 26 month in MN. I'm concerned I have no updates on the website back from 4/27/18. I had my fingerprints done in May. I called to rep level 1 and he said my background check came cleared, but my docs are going back and force between the NVC and local office. I asked why? He said this is all he is able to see... Does anyone have the same issue? Why local office not accepting the case? Courtesy letter regarding medical received, so no RFE hopefully. And I still not received EAD/AP. That is why I'm so nervous. We bought tickets to Cancun for 1 week resort in late October, so not sure if we be able to go now, as I don't have AP as of yet and no updates on the website. So unfortunately I can't go on with my life yet. I'm not really worried about my green card as I really hope to receive it after our second wedding anniversary and Minnesotas office probably will not be able to make it any sooner anyway.

Are you a k-1 AOS applicant? Did you mean "between the NBC (National Benefits Center) and the local office"? All of that sounds like a Tier 1 rep guessing what's going on with your case. It really is way too early for your case to be moved to the field office. That does not happen until the field office requests your file to be physically transferred there. Once your case reaches the "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" stage, do not get uber excited. You will be at that stage for a long time while under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Field Office. That's just the reality of it.
Most cases under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Field Office are taking 14 months, by the way; unless of course, you have a complicated case or your background check is taking a long time because you've lived in 15 countries.
Next time you call, do not waste your time with Tier 1 reps. They can see the same information that you have access to. Ask to be transferred to Tier 2 "because you keep getting conflicting information and you would like them to take a look at your EAD/AP"
In the mean time, you can start applying for jobs. With a job offer in hand, you would be able to place a request to expedite your EAD/AP.
My i-765 was approved on 8/17/2018 and my ead card was mailed yesterday, but today my i-131 was denied. Will this denial affect my i-485? I'm under i-94 and im worried that this denial will affect my adjust of status.

That's strange. Does your EAD state "Serves as I-552 advance parole"? That would be on the front, at the bottom.

It doesn't affect your green card application but until your receive it you are not authorized to travel outside the USA.
My travel document was approved today. That was quick, I didn't file it with the I-765 in April but on June 12.
Very excited about that!
Very good for you ! Congrats , I feel excited for you. Travel for both of us ❤️
