Adjustment of Status - I-485

Hi, I want to share my experience with you guys and maybe give you some hope. I was feeling quite hopeless the past few days and reading some of these experiences helped me a bit.

I filled for a Green Card based on marriage to a U.S. Citizen on August 3, 2019 (I included EAD, AP). My field office is New York, NY (Green Card) and EAD and AP with the NBC.

My timeline:

Aug 3 - Mailed package (petition, green card, work and travel permit)
Aug 17 - Received receipt notices in mail
Aug 23 - Biometrics notice in mail
Sept 5 - Biometrics completed
Oct 1 - Received a RFE (these are common these days, ours was about something we already sent in our package, so don't worry)
Oct 16 - We sent our response to the RFE (sent documents as requested with evidence, do not mention that you already sent them)
Oct 22 - USCIS received our response
Oct 31 - Case is Ready for Interview (now the waiting game begins)
Nov 1 - Medical Exam courtesy letter, since we didn't mail it in our original package. We'll present it at the interview
Nov 19 - New EAD (work permit) is being produced!!!

I've been desperate to work and do something, these past few days I've checked the app for updates almost 3 times a day, which I don't usually do. Yesterday night I got a call for a job that I applied to and I was so happy, but scared because I knew they probably wouldn't hire me without work authorization. I was looking into options, like expediting. As someone that's living in NY, is discouraging how long these things are taking to be processed. So, if you're from NY too, have a little hope or explore your options if it's taking too long.

For everybody filling: Just remember that those processing times are usually 2 months old before they make it to the website and they're just estimates. Anything can happen.

Now, I just hope my card gets to me soon enough.

Good luck to everyone.
