Just received my GC today. We are very lucky; our interview got waived perhaps due to the corona virus pandemic.
Here's a timeline for your reference.
------------------------------------------
Jul 2018: Begin of preparing documents for PERM application.
Oct 2018: Beginning of PWD
Feb 2019: DOL issued PWD.
Apr 2019: Beginning of position advertisement/recruiting period.
Jun 2019: PERM submitted.
Sep 2019: PERM approved
Oct 2019: Immigration visa quota available for Taiwan citizens; beginning preparing for concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485. (I am the primary applicant; and I filed I-485 for my wife as well.)
Nov 2019: I-140 and I-485 filed.
Dec 10 2019: I-140 approved.
Dec 16 2019: Biometrics notice received.
Dec 26 2019: Biometrics taken
Jan 10 2020: I-485 was transferred to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case.
Jan 28 2020: EAD and AP approved.
Jan 31 2020: Combo card received.
May 17 2020: My wife received RFE from USCIS; we sent our certified marriage certificate.
May 19 2020: USCIS updated her case status to RFE documents received, re-start the application process
Jul 30 2020: We ordered your new card.
Jul 31 2020: We approved your Form I-485.
Aug 19 2020: Card was mailed to me
Aug 20 2020: Requesting USPS tracking number from USCIS Emma.
Aug 22 2020: Card received.
-----------------------------------------------------
It took 2 years to get this done.
And we thought there would be interview; for individual applicant (who is single, without spouse), we heard people got interview waived. But I have my wife in our I-485, so we didn't expected our interview to be waived.
So I think we are really lucky.
Good luck to everyone here!

RFE after I-485 interview
Hi guys,
recently I just finished the marriage based I-485 interview. Me and my wife have married 21 months, and our only kid is already 15 months old, so based on our situation, the officer who interviewed us didn’t ask us many questions about our marriage, but, printed us a RFE letter at the end of the interview to ask me provide evidence that proves I attended school in the past. I did attend the school and I hav enough documents could prove that, but the problem is, the RFE letter exactly asks me to provide a school-sealed envelope including certified transcript, and tuition bills. It’s not a big deal in normal times, but currently the school office suspended its operation because of the COVID-19 and no specific re-open time is given, I tried to contact the school through the phone and email, but got no response. This school is a language school, because of the current situation, I think the school might be experiencing a tough time because no source of students, so it will probably continue shutting down in the next couple months.
So, my questions is, should I submit the documents I have in my hand at this moment, like I-20, certification of attendance, transcripts, part of the tuition bills instead of the school-sealed documents that the officer requested, or, I have to spent much more time to contact the school and ask them to provide the documents? If based on the contents, I think what I have in my hand could completely prove what USCIS asks me to prove, but based on what USCIS asks me to provide, I am not able to provide the exact qualified documents.
What should I do, guys.

Need AP urgently but they are taking too long
Update from my last post a couple days ago. My mother passed away yesterday morning. USCIS did not help me in time to get advance
Parole. They finally got back to us yesterday evening and said it can take upto 30 days to get appointment because I still need my biometrics. How is this emergency service ? I wasnt by her side and now I may not be at her funeral :( If you have any suggestions on what I could do. please reply,
We were thinking of driving to the field office Monday in hopes of being able to talk to someone, but the worst scenario just keeps happening so they probably won't even help me get to the UK :(
