Check your status on two different websites for two different results!
First, background (if you are not interested in the background scroll down to --- Two Sites---):
After 4 O1-B I submitted I-485, I-130, I-131 based on marriage;
Timeline:
PD: July 25, 2017;
RFE received: Aug 15;
RFE reply submitted and received on Aug 25;
Oct 17 2017 I-131 was approved;
I applied for work authorization on Oct 26 2017; got approved on April 21 2018;

On Feb 4 2019 I got a text saying that interview was scheduled; No letter, or date yet.
I have a pending i-765 (first one is about to expire & I-131 (previous one expired);

--- Two Sites---

Because of a family medical issue back home, I reached out to the immigration, via the regular phone number, and a 2nd tier officer got back to me.
The follow up email had an interesting web address:
Instead of the usual: egov.uscis.gov
the web address suggested was: myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

The funny thing is that if you add the cases there, they are not really in sync:

My I-485 on the first site says: On February 4, 2019, we scheduled an interview for your Form I-485
This does not appear on the second site;
My i-485 on the second site says:
March 14, 2018
Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview
This piece of info does not appear on the first site!

So, two different sites of USCIS, give me different pieces of information (that are not contradicting), so maybe you can learn like that something about your case;

Did you learn something new about your case?

Interview Notice
Guys I just received my interview notice in the mail today, I am yet to receive my EAD. For a little background, I am based in Charlotte NC and my timeline is below;

Documents sent: 08/28/2018
Priority Date: 08/30/2018
Receipts Received: 09/14/2018
Biometrics Notice: 09/20/2018
RFE Received: 09/27/2018
Biometrics Done: 10/01/2018
RFE Response Sent: 11/14/2018
RFE Response Received: 11/16/2018
Requested EAD/AP expedite: 01/18/2019
Request for expedition evidence: 01/25/2019
Expedition Evidence Sent: 01/25/2019

I requested to have my EAD expedited and I was asked to fax over supporting documents which I did the same day. I was still waiting for update on that only for me to check the mailbox today and there was my interview notice scheduled for the 14th of March, 2019. I must confess that I wasn’t expecting it because my I-485 status still says “Response to RFE was received”. I am beginning to think me expediting my EAD has something to do with it. Anyway I am grateful for this platform and I will sure keep you guys updated on how the interview goes.

Feb 4 called USCIS to expedite my EAD Card due to Finacial Loss, me and my spouse are in the middle of buying a house, we are in escrow period and we cannot close the loan without the new EAD card, and we are at risk on losing the earnest deposit we put down to buy our house and the fees we paid for house inspection and house appraisal on the top of that then we are going to spend more money on extending our lease of our apartment because we can move soon to the new home we wanna own.
Feb 7 I called our Congress Office to ask for help to expedite my EAD Card
Feb 8 got an email from our Congress office and received Privacy Release Form, filled it out and gather all the supporting documents and went to Congress office and submitted all the docs in person! I hope they will approve my expedite request

No EAD
Hey guys I'm just gonna try to explain my Timeline and let you guys know that USCIS is at a slowest its ever been.
Knowing that, I'm gonna write my Timeline.
PD September 15th
Biometrics - October 5th
January 25th my 485 got updated to "Case is ready to be scheduled"
January 31st my 485 got updated to "Interview was Scheduled"
I got my notice with the interview details on it, so my lawyer told me that my case was an unicorn case because this almost never happens. So it looks like I might get my Gc before my EAD.

As far as EAD goes, no updates at all since I started the case.

September filer
Hi, I’m a September 2018 filer. I’ve been coming here trying to find similar cases every day lately. My case status changed to New card being produced today. I’d like to share my timeline.
PD: September 13th, 2018, I-845, I-130, I-765, I-131. AOS, C09
RFIE: October 6th
Walk in bio: October 8th
Response to RFIE received October 21st
Case is ready to be scheduled for interview: November 3rd.
I-765 approved: February 7th. (147 days after filing)
Cases processed in NBC, I requested expedite 4 days ago, because I’m current on H1B and it will be expired on February 28th. But my I-765 was approved before I send them evidence document.
Keep the hope up! Hope you will get yours soon!

INFOPASS
July 13 pd.
Aug 16 - bio
Nov 6 - case is ready to be scheduled for the interview.

After that no updates.
no rfe
still waiting for the EAD.

Contacted congressman, senator and ombudsman office i didnt hear anything. so i made a infopass appointment to get some answers yesterday. Initially the agent said there is nothing he can do but later when i elaborated my situation he looked into the system and said the case was assigned to a officer 2 days back and i should hear something in the next few weeks. After 2 hours i got a email from the ombudsman office regarding the same and i called the ombudsman office to get more info they said it was assigned to the officer and in the next 30 days i should have the decision.

Hopefully the wait ends soon.

Tracking number.
Hi,

When your EAD is being mailed do they usually give you a tracking number to track it?
