Im currently on day 90 since my application was received and I have yet to get my case to move to interview.

I went to the USCIS webpage to check on their case goal time frame and I don't know if it me but it seems like it's taking longer now. Telling me that at the Nebraska cervice center my I-130 and my I-485 will take up to 5 months ?

They sent me my EAD already, can't they just hurry up and move my case to testing and interviewing ?

This waiting game is not fun!

Keep the faith Nat2411. My case status moved to interview on Day 34, but the interview date did not come till Day 86. Wait is the only definitive thing with the GC process. So just have fun while you are in that boat. Cheer up!
