INTERVIEW DATE: 2018/12/15

Interview experience: my interview was 9:30 am,Officer called on my name on 9:45 am. asked if I have changed my job and I provided the updated j form and evl. then took oath. took pictures and fingerprint. then started went through the 485 info including name, Ssn and our current address. then the officer asked the yes/no questions. in the end, officer said everything looks good, she will be able to approve it today.
The officer is very nice and she said you did you job, I will do my part to help you. congrats. Best Christmas gift.

To all friends on the forum: keep faith, it's been a long journey but all the endeavor will be paid back. if you want something, try it hard. if you still can't get it, try harder. Trust me, you will be there.
May god be with you.

Visa extension or EAD extension
Hi Friends,
 I need your clarification regarding visa extension. My current visa is L1A and green card processing is going on with EB1C category. My i-140 is already approved and I have valid EAD.
Now, My visa is going to expire on end or April 2019 and EAD is going to expire on Feb'2019.
My question here is, DO I need to extend my L1A visa or just extend EA?
Thanks

EB1C PD Aug 2017 - case status updated to initial review after interview
EB1C - ROW
PD - 1 Aug 2017
Interview completed - 5 Nov 2018

After the release of the January 2019 bulletin yesterday, I received an email from USCIS with the below message:

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Initial Review

Your interview for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, was completed, and your case must be reviewed. We will mail you a notice if we make a decision or take further action. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

The initial review says that it includes background check, etc.
I would have thought that since interview was completed, once USCIS takes a look at my AOS application it would be for final review and decision/adjudication. And that background check has been done already.

Any thoughts? Similar notification you received?

Hi guys, since I filed my AOS in June 5, 2018 and had my fingerprinting in July 12, 2018 until now there is no update on my case.
Anyone who has the same status?
I am really worried.
Thank you.

INFOPASS Appointment - Very Useful
Sooooo...I reup my situation after having posted it a while ago (11/15 or so). I am EB2 ROW applicant who got retrogressed after having had the interview on August 20. Today I had my INFOPASS appointment and it seems my application got routed to the wrong spot and a lot of time was sitting there without any updates.

There was lack of personnel so I could not get my I-551 on the spot, but it seems, as I am current now and my application was supposed to move to approved status, my Green Card will come soon. Obviously, it ain't over till it's over, but I have no reason to doubt what the guy said.

Thanks for suggesting to book an appointment, it was key for unlocking my situation that was becoming really frustrating.

Good luck to everyone!
