Finale
Here's my time line. Finally received GC in hand today. Happy to answer any questions from my personal experience though mine is a straightforward case. Have included as much details as I can, hopefully it'll help future applicants who google to get answers. Stay positive and be patient.
Filing Type: Non-current I-131, I-485, I-765. EB3 ROW.
Priority Date: 6/12/2017
Package Sent: 3/5/2018
Package Received by USCIS: 3/7/2018
NoAs via Email/Texts Date: 3/20/2018
NoAs via Mail Date: 3/26/2018
Raised Service Request over the phone on first week of May 2018 as I observed most applicants have their biometrics appointment shortly after checks were cashed.
Biometrics Appt Notice: 5/18/2018
Received EAD card:6/5/2018 (valid for one year)
Biometric Appt: 6/8/2018
Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview: 8/14/2018
Received interview notice: 9/3/2018
Interview: 10/4/2018 Newark,NJ
Was told at the end of the interview because of the retrogression that ended on 1Oct2018, need to check the availability of visas and unable to approve on the spot but deem our application as favorable. I was naive enough to think that because my interview is after 1Oct, I will not be affected by the retrogression but it is not true. FO did not mention that files will be transferred to TSC/NBC. The letter provided states that SR may be raised 120 days after interview. I called USCIS once in Dec2018 and all the representative said it's within processing time for TSC which is like 20+months and I can only raise SR after it is out of processing time, which is contradicting to the letter that FO gave me.
Received I-485 Approval Notice: 02/04/2019 (from NBC, did not receive transfer notice. Case status not updated online so it was a surprise to receive an update just before the 120days that I can raise SR. I was also concern about my Medical because it was done in Jan 2018 and was half-expecting a RFE for a new medical. Approval letter stated to receive GC in 3 weeks)
After 3 weeks did not receive GC, raised SR online for non-receipt of GC.
Card Ordered: 02/25/2019 (One day after raising SR, case status updated online)
Card Mailed: 03/04/2019 (Case status updated online)
Card Received: 03/05/2019 (Enquire on USCIS live chat today for USPS tracking number and reflected that it was delivered)
It's a happy day and glad that I can put this endless googling and reading of forums behind me.
