Adjustment of Status - I-485

My whole process took 1 year and 2 months, I'm married to a US citizen. I originally applied from Tampa FL but I moved in Philadelphia PA after getting my EAD.

Timeline:

1. October 2 2017 - sent all my docs. i485, i765, i130, etc.
2. Nov 16ish 2017 - biometrics
had to wait for like 4 more months going crazy and depressed but I guess that's part of the process.
3. February 15 2018 - received my EAD and approval notice.
4. September 15ish - received interview notice for I485. prepared my docs, photos, proof of income, billing, etc.
5. October 19 2018 - interviewed at USCIS Philadelphia office. Gave us oral approval for I130 and I485. I had to re-do my I-693 and pay another $200 + $8 shipping. USCIS admitted that it was their fault for not processing early on but they can't do anything about it.
6. November 19 2018 - received my greencard.

So there. I'm glad it's finally over so just to share some thoughts;

1. The whole process can get really frustrating so just hang in there and pray for a lot of patience, as in a lot!
2. Once you get the EAD, just keep yourself preoccupied with your job. I actually thought my interview for I485 would be next year based on the processing times but I guess some miracle happened and it was scheduled earlier. After the first US salary came in, the wait was totally worth it.
3. If you can't work while waiting for I485, spend as much time as you can with your spouse or people close to you. Everything will turn out fine. :)

Throughout the wait, I used to tell myself that there's no point worrying about things beyond my control but i guess now that i'm done with the process, it's easier to say that.

Good luck!
