The morning interview theory must have originated from this post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/154623-aos-interview-tips-for-those-with-upcoming-interviews/

But I wouldn't worry about it. I read lots of VJ posts from people have had afternoon interviews and were fine. :)

My interview is at 11.15am - is that a bad sign?

Do I have some kind of psychic connection with my AOS papers? I hardly check the USCIS case status online, but when I do, I usually get an update within 8 hours, or as in this case, within minutes! Hmmmm...(Cue theme from Twighlight Zone)

Anyhoo, got some text and email updates at 10:30 am today that my Advance Parole document has been approved and that my EAD has been sent to card production. Wonder if this means I'll get a combo card? :yes:
