My timeline
Sharing my experience since since I've learned so much from this thread:
April 24 - Priority Date
May 22 - Biometrics
(then silence)
July 22 - Put in a service request
July 24 (90th day) - Called my congressman and senator to ask for their help
July 31 - Received notification that my card is being produced
Tips:
1. Call USCIS to put in a service request. This flags to them that your application is approaching the prescribed deadline of 90 days. Since it was so difficult to talk to a person when I called USCIS (you're usually limited to listening to a pre-recorded message), I pretended to be buying one of their forms just so I can get connected to a person. Apparently, all concerns are sent to a pool of call center agents, regardless of the concern.
2. Reach out to your congressman and senator. I was pleasantly surprised at how responsive their offices were about my request. They will ask you to fill up a privacy waiver. They got back to me in just a matter of days with an update on my application. The staff of my congressman told me that USCIS tends to act faster when they know a congressman is monitoring a certain application. I'm not sure how true that is but I believe reaching out to public officials is worth a shot.
I hope this helps. Good luck to us all!
