Congratulations. Our process has not been as quick. We filed on September 2013 and still have not received an interview.

It may be that your local office is slow. At least you have your EAD so you can loo for a job. My EAD is still in initial review and since my interview is coming up in less than a month, I dont think I will even need EAD.
