yay!! thanks! I went to check our mailbox and finally I got my Combo Card, it was in Priority Mail Envelope. Is there anyone here knows what are the requirements if I will go to SSN Office to change my last name? My SSN Card is under my maiden name and would like to change it to my married name.

You'll need your marriage license and ID

Call level 2 customer service now and they can't provide any help except to say to check back 30 days after RFE receipt. It's been 2 weeks and looking at similar threads, it may take 1 month.

Looks like we sort of have a similar timeline :dancing: I received the approval notice for my EAD and AP it should be arriving any day now. I have been noticing on some people's timelines that they have green card interviews scheduled. I haven't received any mail regarding an interview so I'm hoping that means its been wavered. I'm a little confused too but trusting that all will go smoothly.

Got my Combo card today. It took only 2 days from when it said the card was picked up by the usps. Also my I-485 said new card is being produced. Is it means that no interview? I'm kinda confused with the process now cause it shows case was received the whole time until today.

I've got a few job interviews coming up, sooooo excited to start working and making money!

Based on the Seattle office stats, I'm still a few months away from a green card interview so I'm trying to put it out of my mind...

Still checking the app every day though (can't help it)!

Congrats to everyone who has got their cards and good luck with any interviews. Hope anyone who is still waiting for news will get some soon!

Received EAD/AP card yesterday - not in mailbox, the mailman tucked it into my screen door. After getting the "card has been mailed" update I didn't receive any tracking updates, the card just turned up. Interview next week so finishing collecting together all our evidence and info.
