EAD+AP
It's finally time to share my experience.
I am EB2 ROW NBC. I filed for AOS and EAD+AP and I have finally received the combo card.
Here is my timeline

RD 11/21
Biometrics 12/17
New Card is being produced 6/7
Card was mailed to me 6/11
Card was picked up by USPS 6/12
Card was delivered to me by the post office 6/13

I didn't make any call to USCIS, nor have I asked for expedite. Just one piece of advice, please don't ask to expedite unless you REALLY have to. We all want the card as soon as possible, we all want to be done with this, so please don't cause further delays in the system to try to jump in front of the line unless you have a real need for it.

SSN after EAD
My EAD got approved on May 31 and I received my card on June 6. I went to the social security office near me the next day and they could not locate an application made my USCIS for SSN even though I had requested it in the I765. Anyway since I had original passport and EAD the lady asked me to apply on the spot. I called the SS office today and they said the card was approved and sent out on the same day of application. I am waiting to receive my card.

Guys do not wait for your SSN, once you receive your EAD visit the local SS office with your passport and EAD. They will either tell you the status of your application or ask you to apply on the spot. Wait time is generally one hour and it's only a one page form which takes 5 mins to fill on the spot.

Interview approval
Hi, im a silent reader here since i started my application. I wanna share my experience under k visa

Nov 1, 2018 filed for AOS and EAD
after a week got email for biometrics schedule
Nov 29, 2018 Biometrics
March 2019 RFE affidavit of support ( need updated one )
May 8 ready to be scheduled interview
May 10 interview was scheduled
May 13 recieved my letter for interview
June 13 interview day ( 11:45am) approved
 5 minutes interview and the officer told us that will wait in 30 days for the GC
When i got home i checked my status online and was changed to card is being produced and refused my EAD application since i dont need it anymore.
Some of you might confuse when you get the interview appoitment that one of the checklist is medical. I didnt do the medical coz they are not asking for it. Officer have the copy of previous medical ( manial )

Goodluck to everyone who is still waiting. You guys will have it soon.
Godbless 🙏

“Ready to be scheduled for an interview”
Hi everyone!
AOS to family-based GC c(9)
RD: 03/01/19
Bio: 03/28/19
Case ready to be scheduled for interview: 06/13/19
NBC
Field office: Newark, NJ

I see on here that some people that get “case READY to be scheduled” end up waiting over 6months only for “interview IS scheduled”. Any experiences on the time frame between these updates?
I haven’t gotten my EAD yet. Does this status update mean I won’t get it and that I’ll have to wait the full time for the GC instead?

Thanks guys, have a great day!

NBC - I485, EAD job based

No updates since then, been 4 weeks without a job. When I filed, the waiting time for the EAD was between 2.5 and 5 months. Later 5 to 7.5, now it is between 6 to 8.5.

Any NBC filers, job based I485 for December that already got their EAD?

Thank you
