My AOS Process (so far)
#16
Re: My AOS Process (so far)
10/17/2016 - Confirmed that package was received
10/19/2016 - I797C's received (1 each for EAD, AP & AOS)
10/22/2016 - Letter confirming Biometrics appointment for early November.
11/10/2016 - Biometrics completed.
01/12/2017 - EAD & AP documents were approved.
I received an email today to say that both my EAD and AP documents were approved. Great news! This means I can now apply for a drivers license here in Idaho, a resident hunters license and of course jobs. But I'm in college right now so it isn't as urgent as before!
It has been 85 days so far. Still plenty of time left for my AOS to go through.
I was going to see my Senators office today regarding the entire thing since we hadn't had any response or luck from USCIS but this came through before it. I may still consider going to see him to see if his office can get me an update on my AOS but it is likely still waiting to be looked at.
Fingers crossed it will come through sooner rather than later!

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
No need to see anyone yet. A typical AOS process takes about 6 months, and you're only into month 3. You're well within normal.

Maybe around the 6 month time I might go see him but fingers crossed it will be done before then.

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
I'm all for being proactive, but contacting your senator because you're curious about your progress is, IMO, frivolous - because nothing is wrong and nothing is likely to be wrong.

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
To be honest, I will most likely just wait this out. As you have said, there isn't anything special I can do with my Green card that I cannot with my EAD/AP.
The waiting carries on so I will update this again once the cards come through in the mail.

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
I agree with Ian, don't be frivolous about contacting representatives - there may come a point when you really need their intervention/support and it wouldn't hurt to show you've been patient.
Good luck

Green Card Approved!
Had a text & email from USCIS today to say "New Card is Being Produced"! No interview necessary so I have been waived on that part.
Very happy chappy here.
Overall, 6 months from start to finish on the AOS.
Now, onward to citizenship!

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
Hopefully all you will not be too far behind, I had my interview waived so hopefully you having one doesn't impact the timeline too much.

Re: My AOS Process (so far)
Since I moved house and filed an address change with USCIS my card has been in the void. But alas, it was delivered to my old address 3 days after being posted.
Luckily, USPS held it for me (for 3 weeks..) so I finally have it with me.
Countdown to condition removal has begun.
