Thanks cyanmavi!  

Is an 8-month wait enough to contact our congressmen, or will they be like "keep waiting"?

You're welcome

Honestly, I don't think 8 months is a long time to wait for AOS, it is said that it can take up to a year or even more. On the other hand, with the backlog and everything, I would still contact my congress people to speed things along. Even if they say "keep waiting", they will have contacted USCIS and then USCIS knows you have a representative tracking things for you, too, you would be keeping on top of things. It could give them a nudge and help things along.

We had our interview today. Did not get a decision. Was just told a decision would be sent in the mail.  A bit frustrated. Will occupy my mind with work as I wait.

I really hope you hear good news soon. From which visa/status are you adjusting?

Does anyone here knows if after receiving the approval for EAD and AP we can have a tracking number for the EAD CARD with USCIS? Wondering if this is possible.

It usually comes within a week. Unfortunately they don’t provide a tracking number.

Thanks for answering. When you say a week, do you mean a week after the actual approval date listed in the NOA or a week after receiving the NOA in the mail?

One workaround that many VJ'ers have identified is to use the USPS's Informed Delivery service to track inbound mail (notices) and packages (EAD/AP card). I have it and it has proven to be VERY helpful when receiving mail from USCIS. I highly recommend it!

Thank you @narakthisud I have that configured......

I wouldn't worry too much, to be honest.  I couldn't find an office located in Austin, TX so I took a guess that  your case is being processed in Houston. It looks like your case will take up to 1 year to be processed according to publicly-posted USCIS processing times:

Hi 

 

I am still at fingerprints fee received, I filed on 04/28/2017 and I have not heard anything from USCIS since I received my EAD back in August. I submitted a SR for the I-485 and they said they will get back to me before Dec 12.

I think my office is San Antonio, because it's much closer to Austin than Houston. San Antonio processing times are on December 2017.

Good luck. I submitted a SR at the beginning of november. They never got back to me, actually case status says that it was not adjudicated for processing (the SR). They said I could expect a response by November 30. Apparently they usually don't anwer SRs.

I'm also in Austin and yes San Antonio is the correct office. I just got a letter out of the blue a couple days ago in the mail that my interview has been scheduled in January. There was no update on the website or text even though I have electronic notifications set up. My online status is still stuck at Fingerprint Fee Received from April 7th.

 

Also, I didn't file a service request or involve any congress person as I was prepared to wait until February, and my EAD and AP are good until July. Hang in there, it looks like they are beginning to process March/April filers in San Antonio!
