i dint receive any updates on my EAD,
my case was out of normal time and i sent a inquiry request and they didnt ever respond on it, so i called them and made another request by phone and the guy sounded really carrying and promised i will hear from them in 2 weeks... believe it or not in 2 days i got an email that my GC interview was scheduled, so im waiting for the email with the date. Thank God
if you still didnt get any updates and out of the processing time i would advice you to call them and report verbally.. Good Luck

Thank you for sharing the details MariaBondo

Have you received any updates online that your interview is scheduled? the fact that your PD is 9/21/18 and your interview is already scheduled is a good news for the rest of us who are still waiting Keep us posted!

Thank you for sharing your timeline...I could definitely not see it...I'm assuming your interview has not been scheduled it yet since you didn't post it in your timeline, right? It's interesting that you got in line for the interview on 1/30/19, but MariaBondo got in line for the interview on 2/14/19 and her interview is before yours....I thought that once people received their notice for the interview to be scheduled they would get their number in line for the interview, but comparing your case and MariaBondo's case in theory you should have your interview scheduled prior to hers...One more proof that they don't schedule things in order

Plus you were very lucky that your case has been moving quickly since you received your EAD after less than 5 months when most people are waiting 6months+...Anyway, just trying to understand the timeline on how soon the DC office is processing people for an interview...Keep us posted when you receive your interview notice Good luck!

Thank you Enub4 for sharing my timeline. Nady, you might have to check your settings to see if they are checked for viewing or not.
I haven’t received any updates since I got the EAD. We were surprised to get it after roughly 90 days from the PD. So now that my husband has a SSN I’ve added him to my health insurance, he’s going to get a license soon so we can have joint auto insurance and filling the gaps for everything that unfortunately we couldn’t do as “proof of a Bona Fide marriage” when he didn’t have a SSN. Not sure when we will get the interview, but I’m getting all materials together now so we won’t be stressing when the notice comes in the mail. I will share any updates as I receive them with you guys. And the best of luck to everyone here!

Thanks AllSmiles123 and Enub4 I couldn't see the timeline at all lol

My husband and I got some pretty exciting news yesterday afternoon....His interview was scheduledI called USCIS and spoke to a tier I who said that she did not have access to the date of the interview, so we will have to wait and see when that will be. I anticipate it was scheduled for 4-6 weeks from now, since most people in this forum report that their interviews are posted 4-6 weeks ahead. Here's his updated timeline again:


AOS, spouse to US citizen Washington, DC
Concurrent filing I485, I130, I765, I102


9/24/18 package sent
9/27/18 PD
11/1/18 Biometrics (Alexandria USCIS office)
3/12/18 Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview (this was the first update that we received since the biometrics...no updates regarding fingerprinting processed, nothing at all)
3/18/19 I-765 approved
3/20/19 I-765 NOA in the mail
4/6/19 Social Security card received in the mail

In April 2019 I called USCIS twice because we never received a notice that my husband's EAD card was sent to production after we received the I-765 notice. I initially called after 2 weeks
and they told me that the card can take 30 days to be sent to production. Then I called on 4/18/19 (a month after approval) and the representative opened a service request.


4/18/19 Service request opened for I-765
4/22/19 EAD Card was sent to production
4/25/19 EAD Card was mailed
4/29/19 EAD Card arrived in the mail
5/8/19 Case status changed to interview scheduled


So happy to see that cases are moving along in the DC office and that we don't have to wait as long as other field offices do I will keep you guys posted once we receive a date for the interview. Good luck to all!!!

Thank you Thanks for sharing your date with us...I'm also anticipating that his interview will either be the week after yours or the week of June 17....

Congrats nady that's a good news and Good Luck for the interview!!

Thanks VF123!!! It's good news for all of us who have DC as their field office as it shows that they are processing our cases faster than the 8 to 19.5 months as listed in the USCIS processing time frame.

No idea why it took so long to change...I have read other postings when people's status did not change at all, just like my husband's and they went months without getting any updates and not knowing where they were in the process. We did not have any RFE, but like I said his status didn't even change to fingerprints reviewed or nothing and it took him forever not only to get his EAD, but to get in line to have the interview scheduled. I really think they process cases at the NBC based on how easy/difficult they are...I have noticed that people who have either H1B or F1 status tend to get processed in front of others because their case may be easier to process...that's just my observation...My husband has been out of status for 26 years here in the U.S. and even though he has no prior criminal record, I assume his fingerprinting/case in general took longer to be processed through NBC because of that compared to somebody else's case who may have been here for less time or may not be out of status yet, like people who have F1 and H1B

I have seen a couple of other people from DC field office that got their notice to ready to schedule interview after 1-2 months of their PD and then they get a notice for the interview 3-4 months later. I would not worry if I were you, even though I know it's stressful, but your case is moving faster than others (like in our case), so you will more likely be receiving a notice in the next couple of months. Consider yourself lucky There is nothing we can do but wait and trust me, I know how frustrating it is to wait for USCIS' grace to process all these cases as it took me 8 years myself to get my I485 through employment based. Hang in there and let's continue to share our timeline in case we get any updates online or in the mail

BTW, have you got your EAD yet? I'm assuming you haven't since the were people in September still waiting to get theirs...One of the people in the DC field office that I read got his EAD on 1/23/19 and a notice for interview on 1/24/19, so I would not be surprised based on your timeline that you will be receiving your EAD card about the same time that you get the notice for the interview....

Im currently stucked in Case is ready to be scheduled for interview for 50 days and EAD and AP at 83 days now. No new updates since then. Im just patiently waiting for my interview schedule notice and EAD. It's hard to be here just waiting. I can see that some people had their EAD expedited and read through their posts that you need to have a reason/ evidence why you need your EAD expedited and they will review it. So I assume others were already applying for jobs even though they dont have their EAD yet. Coz there's no point that they will have job offer letter yet if they werent applying. I just dont know if id do the same because I have scrolled some job online application sites and there's always this 1 question that bothers me, Are you legally authorized to work in the US? Like I dont know if id answer yes to that. So hopefully I will get my EAD soon.
