73 days. Move to Jacksonville, FL and it will happen to you, too.

I actually look at my location through a positive lense. Seattle processing times are off the charts and I am positive I will not hear anything from USCIS for at least 12 more months, which enables me to chill and forget about the whole process. Since I have gotten my EAD and started working, I have not been thinking about the process at all. I do not have any sense or urgency right now because I can do pretty much anything I would do with my Green Card in my pocket, except for traveling abroad without sweating too much. Hence my advice for everyone here is to chill out and forget about it. You freaking out will not prompt USCIS to speed up. Once you get your EAD, find a job even if you do not need the extra income. It will keep your mind busy, help you build employment history and gain valuable work experience and networking.

I personally would prefer to not have to go through the removal of conditions process. But it seems like we may have to IF the interview is scheduled early - by Minneapolis Field office standards. Either way, we are good. However, I am not comfortable with my husband going to Malaysia without his green card. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/03/w...n-shariah.html
Should anything happen, he would not have access to the US embassy. They would just shrug their shoulders if you are not a Green Card holder OR a US citizen.

So everyone's circumstances are different, I guess.

I have a question regarding the processing times on USCIS’ website. Family-based I-485 in Seattle is estimated at 11.5 - 29 months. If I understand this correctly, I should be expecting to be scheduled for the interview any time after 11.5 months have passed since the PD date and it can take up to 29 months. Is that correct? What makes some applications get the interview at 12 months while others wait for 29 months?

Hello everyone,

My status is showing a message that I haven't seen anyone here posted it before.

"Case Was Updated To Show All Fingerprints Were Taken And Case Is In Process"
we are processing the fingerprints for your Form I-765,

It has been more than 65 days like that, my I-485 was update to Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview 6 days after biometric.
I-765 is still as above, anyone has the same?

September
PD: 9/7
biometric: 10/3
Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview: 10/11

Anyone still without an update since fingerprints? Had bio appointment on 11/1 and still no update from fingerprint fee received. It's so depressing!

[Robz13]

Same here, no update since completed biometrics. Had bio appointment on 10/29 and nothing since, no update what’s so ever. It has 85 days counting an no update on EAD either. Last action on 485 was fingerprint fee received.

I-485 is 65 days no change and I-765 at 63 days no change... Are you thinking about expediting EAD? We called customer service two days ago and no update if the background check is even back.

Congrats! That's awesome! Make a copy of it! I wish I had kept my first paycheck.

By the way, someone from the Seattle Field Office just got their interview scheduled notification. PD 10-2017 and interview is 01-17-19

Please make your life easier by asking your post office to hold ALL YOUR MAIL until your receive the EAD. You can lift the hold afterwards. Too many folks have had issues with delivery.
