Well that's 2 of us now. I guess we will need to wait.

Did you call them? I called yesterday but they need to speak with my wife directly. However the rep did indicate that the case can take 6 months and it is considered normal for now.

She will give them a ring sometime today and I will let you know what the response is. This waiting game is not fun at all...

include me, :cry: I'm getting worried.. not a word from USCIS

Me too! Got my EAD, but no schedule for interview yet! My priority date is Oct 30. I think, it depends on the local office, if they have a back log, it takes longer.... Need more patience?

I don't believe those processing times. Boston is listed as processing applications from June 9, 2015 for I-485 and my priority date is October 7, 2015. Definitely take those dates with a grain of salt.

Hello, count me in. Filed for AOS Oct 23, 2015 and my status still says Finger Print Fee was Received. Got my AED/AP card a month ago. Never heard about my AOS. Should I be worried too? :(

I think approvals are based on how busy your USCIS office is..so just hold on and I did pray a lot which helped. Our USCIS office is not as busy so we were able to get interviewed and approval faster. We live in the area that is also casual not formal so the personnel in that office are not stiff but friendly.

Yes, I understand how stressful it is to wait, been through that. Keep the faith!!!
