How common is it....

We finally received an update on the website that our I485 is scheduled for an interview (NYC filing office), but we have not received the EAD. How common is it to get the GC interview before receiving the EAD??

I know that you can be scheduled for months so I'm not getting to excited, just finally happy to see some movement on my case

Shae,

what does the update say? "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"? OR "Interview scheduled"? If it's "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview", then yes, you can be at that stage from a day to 2 years or who knows how much longer with the current administration.
If it says "Interview scheduled", then that DOES mean your interview has been scheduled and you should receive a notice in the mail within the next 3 weeks.

Which one is it?

I?m sorry but this doesn?t mean it?s scheduled and they sent you the interview notice. This means you?re on the line for interview which the time you have to wait depends on your field office. If you?re from NYC, you should be very patient. Good luck!
