My Timeline
After look months of waiting, today I finally got a notice from USCIS saying "New Card is Being Produced". I spent so many hours crying and stressing out over my EAD since i had a start date for my dream job on October 1st, 2018 (I know I still have so much time but I was still very scared especially when I read that some Oct. 2017 filers are still waiting). But anyways, here is my timeline and some procedures that I did (but I am not sure it helped at all)

December 8th, 2017 - i-130, i-485 Received
January 9th, 2018 - RFE Request sent
February 1st, 2018 - RFE Response Received
April 6, 2018 - "We received your I-785 Application..."
July 16th, 2018 - Infopass. I scheduled an Infopass in Boston Field Office. Waited for about an hour and a half to finally able to talk to a representative only to learn that there was nothing that he could do to help since my EAD case was with NBC. But he was able to see in more details where my case was in the process and told me "You will definitely get it by October 1st. Your case is already in the final review stage and it usually takes about couple weeks for you to get approved". He also advised me not to try and expedite it and said that sometimes it slows the process because they have to pull my case from the file and etc. I FELT so relieved after the Infopass but was still very scared
July 26th, 2018 - "We scheduled an interview for your form i-485"
July 30th, 2018 - Received an Interview Notice in Mail
August 1st, 2018 - Asked BOTH Senators Office and Congressmen's Office for help.
August 3rd, 2018 - Got an email from Senator's Office saying that my case will be routed for expedited processing.
August 13th, 2018 - Followed up with Congressmen's Office about my case status and got the same response "Case will be routed for expedited processing". About 2 hours after I got the email, I received a notification from USCIS saying "New Card is Being Produced"
August 30th, 2018 - Interview in Boston Field Office

So I am not sure if my case got approved because of expedited processing that I requested or that USCIS are just approving EAD's for all April filers.

Anyways, I am so happy because finally I can have a peace in mind and confidently know that I will be able to start my job in October. I also will have my I-485 interview on August 30th, 2018 in the Boston Field Office so if anyone who recently interviewed there can share their experience with me here will be greatly appreciated. Again, good luck to everyone who is currently waiting on their EAD! Advice from me to everyone who is/was stressed out about this process - DO EVERYTHING in your power to push towards the goals. Contact your Ombudsman, Congressman, Senator. Go get real update on your case at Infopass and just be patient!

P/S: I filed everything on my own w/o any help of attorneys or lawyers. So lmk if you have any questions
