I'm on our honeymoon and just checked the app expecting to still see the same messages and... my new card is being produced! Package was received on 3/29 and card produced on 6/30 which puts it at 91 days. 

 

How long does it take for the card to be mailed/received? I'm flying back into the US on tuesday night! 

Well, 3 days later i just got noticed that my card is being mailed. Yay! now we just need the interview date, never ending. 
Good luck and super good vibes to everyone else still waiting!!!

I haven't posted here for long time . 

I had an interview at Raleigh office today . The interviewer was a very kind and friendly woman . 

I thought she was going to ask us a lot of questions because I'm adjusting from F-1 visa ( but out of status). But she asked us only 4 questions . "How we met , how often I meet my husband's family , what's our current address and do we have a kid and plan . That's it .  She didn't check any additional evidence such as pictures, Insurance etc... Then she told us she approve us . Less than 10 min.

While on the way to the interview , I was asking my husband to stop by gas station every 20min because I was super nervous .lol 

 

I filed on March 3rd . I haven't got EAD  I was so sad and little bit mad at USCIS because a lot of people here are getting thire EAD. but I finally have a good news too. 

 

I hope all of you have good news soon  

ps when you go to the interview , make sure you don't have liquid stuff . I brought my lighter and cig then a security man didn't let me enter that's why I went back to the car and re enter . I should've searched about it .

I did, but they didn't even ask for my infopass appointment when they saw my letter for the bio-metrics appointment even though it was 8 days too early but then it also depends on the time you go and how busy your local office is too... buffalo is nice coz its not too busy(at least from what i have seen from my appointment and from driving past it other times)... someone on this forum said its easier if you go after morning rush and before afternoon rush, which is what i did by going around 11 am...

Thanks... I did make an appointment but on the 17th. I was thinking of going first thing in the morning but maybe I'll wait till 11am. Were they helpful?

that is a good idea, 11 am the place should be the least busy, and i think the sooner u do it the better it is, as that's the last thing they need from you(assuming no RFEs) before the actual interview...

they were very helpful but all the talk was about how life is in India and how he wanted to visit, I told him to go during winter as it gets waaayyy too hot during the summer... i was in and out in less than 15 mins and would have been out sooner if it wasn't for the one person who was getting his fingerprints taken before me, because he didn't know his receipt number(you should know your receipt numbers from your NOAs for your i485 and i765 (you could just bring the notices with you) and nothing else except maybe your weight, height,eye color and hair color)... the actual process only takes around 5 mins including filling the form...
