December 2018 filer
Hi all,
just want to share my experience. I found this to be very useful.
Currently in J1 status, applied AOS marriage based green card, NYC filer, no lawyers involved (I actually went to a lawyer, who said I didn't need one). Applied for I-485, I-130, I-765 and I-131 at NBC. Here is my timeline:
12/06/18: case was received
01/17/19: biometrics appointment
01/23/19: fingerprint review completed
05/29/19: case is ready to be scheduled for an interview.
07/10/19: new card is being produced (216 days!)
07/12/19: card was mailed
07/15/19: received (via mail) I-131 & I-765 approval notice. Note: online I-131 is still "case was received"
07/17/2019: received EAD + AP combo card in the mail
No expedite requests, just waiting. For all new filers: it looks like NBC is taking approximately 7 months on average to process EAD/AP cards (ridiculous, but that seems the new normal). I was lucky that my J1 visa is valid until 08/31/19, but we should be aware that processing times have "exploded" in the last year or two.
Good luck to anybody! Now waiting for interview to be scheduled...
