Aaaaaah, all the whining must have helped: I just got emails and texts about the approval of EAD and AP and card production of EAD (I wonder is they won't give me a combo card, not that I really care... can't afford and am not planning to leave the country anytime soon anyway)

Yay, congrats!!! I know you were waiting for this for a loooong time (just like me)! :)

I got 2 identical emails about EAD in production, 1 email about AP approval, and 1 email about USPS picking up EAD from USCIS... I really hope I get a combo card! Online, my AP status is still "Post Decision Activity" even though EAD is in card production.

That's exactly what mine says! I guess we can just wait and see what ends up landing in the mailbox!

Yours should be there real soon if USPS already picked it up, right?

My interview letter says "You must bring all the government issued documents including EAD and AP" So I would rather bring it and give it to them than to have RFE at the interview.

you HAVE TO take EAD/AP to interview. It is necessary, stated in the interview letter. You can wait for GC in mail. According to many people's timeline GC arrives in less than 2 weeks. And I can see you got your GC :)

Sometimes they forget stuff but in most cases they are supposed to take away your EAD in case of approval.

I just came back from my interview. here is my experience.

My interview was scheduled for 10:30. We showed up there around 10:00. Officer came and called our names around 11:00

After we came in she swore us in and took our passports and ID's. She took my I94 out of the passport and asked me Yes/No questions. She than asked do I work I said that I was rehire on March 1st. And than my biggest fear RFE. Stupid doctor messed up one page on my form. But she was very nice and she said if I bring it either today or tomorrow my case will not be postponed. So I went to see the doctor, I yelled, I cursed they were gonna call the police on us :) but than they did it in 2 minutes for me. I went back to USCIS office to take the sealed envelope again and clerk said I can't come in but I can leave the envelope to her. I insisted that she calls officer which she did and officer said it's fine she doesn't need to see us anymore just to leave the envelope.

My whole interview lasted maybe 7 minutes. Maybe because I send all the evidence with application. But I don't know what to think. I'm positive, she took my I-94, she said the case is fine but I need that official. :) Fingers crossed now. I hope i'll get the SMS today or tomorrow.

I agree. It was really weird. She hasn't asked my wife a single question. I submitted all the evidence with my application even the photos. That maybe helped them make the decision faster.
