I know this is a stupid question but I don't know the answer. My fiance came here to the USA last March on a K1 visa. We got married and went through the process of getting her an SSN and filing for the EAP and AP combo card, which she has now so she can legally work here and travel outside the US if necessary. She got her biometrics fingerprints thing done about 4 months ago. What are we waiting on now? Will a letter arrive in the mail about another final appointment for her to get her green card?

She already applied for the green card with the I-485. Now she just waits. She may get an interview appointment, or she may be approved without interview.

Shouldn't we have received a notice about an interview by now? It has been 4 months since her I-485 was accepted according to the USCIS case status website:

Acceptance

On July 8, 2013, your fingerprint fee was accepted and we have mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. Your case is being processed at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

She may get an interview waiver. But current waiting times are up to a year for the green card for people who get an interview waiver. If she gets an interview, it's a lot faster to get the green card.

This is my timeline but these was back in 2006. Yes some AOS takes a year, but you can call the USCIS and check the status of the application.
