This is my timeline:

NSC processing september applicants this month
I called the USCIS again for any update of my application that was received last Nov 2017. There is still no progress of my application since biometrics. I asked if the tier 2 officer the estimated time again and he answered Nebrasla service center is currently processing September applications. I guess I’ll be expecting another month or more then?

Travel during EAD status is pending
Hello guys,
I am in a small trouble, I have applied for my STEM OPT on 18th Dec 2017 and I got the receipt of application confirmation on 28 Dec, but I want to travel to india from 9th march to 25 march as I dont have EAD in my hand and my status is still pending. Can I travel outside the us if my status is still pending? and Should I take the risk of EAD approval as my 90 days will complete on 18th march. will it be fine if I show then approved EAD screen shot of uscis website while reentering coz I wont have EAD in my hand till 25th march.

No bio metrics appointment
I sent my i131, i765 and my i485 on August 2017.

-On Sept12, 2017 I got the notice that they got my papers on August 31st, 2017, and saying that the next step was to get the biometrical appointment.
-On October 28, 2017 I got a notice THAT HAS BEEN MAILED TWICE BECAUSE IT GOT LOST THE FIRST TIME saying that I needed to send the new form i130A because the G-325A that I sent before was no longer being accepted.
-On December 20, 2017, I got my certified mail paper back saying that they received my papers on December 12 but I never got a official notice from USCIS.
-On January 5, 2018 , I got the notice that my employment authorization and my travel document have been accepted .

As of today I haven't received ANY biometrical appointment or notice and I am so depressed and frustrated because my travel visa expired and I cant even get to drive my car legally with a drivers license.

I can't get to talk to a real person whenever I call the USCIS customer service, is there any other number or any option I should know to talk to real people?

What should I do, my lawyer says I just have to wait because the process started back on December when I sent the i130A. NOOOOOO :(

HELPPP

EAD SR
Hello All,
Please i need your advice, is it okay to call USCIS between 76th and 80th day of pending EAD with no update yet, I really need a job, lots of
bills to be settled and tired of not doing anything. Is it right to request to speak with tier 2 officer when i call them because most time the guys
that picks seems not have enough information,and still tell you what you have on your status. Please any response will be appreciated.
Thanks.

August filers, shall we go on a hunger strike?
It wouldn't been hard since we can't work so
food is rather scarce these days. 170 days and still
no sign from USIS. NBC center is apparently swamped
with work. How about hiring more officers?
Does this mean we'll get an interview right after receiving
our work permit if we ever do?
If you get approved, you'll still have to wait for it to be
produced and mailed then two weeks to get a SSN!
It's really outrageous!In other countries like England for
instance you get an approval within a month from the Home
Office.
 What do they make it so hard to be working in this land?
My husband never thought it would be this hard and painful
to get a work permit. He's from here so he couldn't possibly
fathom the struggle we are both going through.
