My experience so far
My wife and I's official filing date for the I-765/I-130/I-485/I-131 was October 24, 2016. Currently we are at day 88. We are working with an immigration attorney on the entire process of changing status. It is quite frustrating when your lawyer can't give you any additional information on the timeline other than what is shown on the USCIS website.

We have been checking daily our case status, as well as the processing times on the website. Right now, getting the I-765 is most important for us because my wife is going through an interview process for a job, with a very likely offer next week.

I found out that contacting your congressman or senator can help. Today I contacted my state senator's office. They were very helpful, sent me a Privacy Release Form (just information about the applicant, case #, etc.) to fill out and send back to them. They called me back after discussing with USCIS, and confirmed that all the necessary information has been received but has not gotten into the hands of a USCIS officer yet. Also, they stated it is within normal processing time. Since we are at day 88 and it should be completed within 90 days, I am not sure what that means. They did state that if my wife receives the job offer, to call the senator office back, and they will contact USCIS to push the EAD through. There would likely have to be proof of job offer.

Long and frustrating process so far. Very interested in hearing others stories with a similar timeframe as us.
