May I ask how you heard about that Dec 11th part? Did an agent tell you/ inside connections? Thx

No inside connection, processing time you can find on this page https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Oh, you mean the “receipt date for case inquiry” and the processing time posted? That is just reflecting the maximum time range/when you can submit “outside processing time” request, not quite what applications dates they are processing, unless I am missing something. Btw, the processing time is not a range as it seems. They use this method called “processing time” where the first number reflects time it takes 50% of cases, and second number 93% of cases.

Yes, sorry I didn't express myself correctly. USCIS displays case processing times for select forms and locations to let people know how long it generally takes to process benefit requests and when they can submit a service request for a case that is “outside normal processing time.” They update case processing times on the website monthly with the latest available data.

It's not an exact time, but it's a hope that will be processed soon.

Looking at your case history, I'm wondering why it took 5 months for you to receive your EAD after biometrics. Any idea?

Where was your 765 processed?

I just checked my online USCIS status and my I-485 status has changed to "Interview was Scheduled". Earlier today, I got an email this morning from USCIS confirming my change of address from San Francisco, CA to Dallas, Texas. I moved to Dallas exactly 1 month ago. I am awaiting for the mail instructions for the location and schedule of my interview.
