I just went yesterday to DPS in TX and it can be done, an acceptable document is a 797C NOA stating pending I-485. 

Oh really? Can you please explain how you did it? What part of Texas do you reside?

I guess I'm not the only one that checks the uscis web more than 10x a day with the hope of seeing an update

Houston, TX. I came back from my Biometrics appointment and after I got home I went to the dps website to check what exactly do I need and to my surprise is listed under acceptable documents a 797 notice with a pending applicaton for adjustment of status, so I grabbed the  things I needed and went to the office close to dacoma st. There was a 2 hr waiting, then my turn came and I had to explain to them bucause they don't even know. So had to show my passport, expired visa, I-94, social security card, lease of my apt (proof of residency) insurance and vehicle registration. They took a picture and scan fingerprints, then they checked on the inmigration website using the alien number on 797, but the person helping me told me that it shows it's pending and needed to get a 2nd type of check and that I will receive a letter from immigration and I should bring it back once I receive it. So I left and now I am waiting but later on I was thinking that she did told me on the original check that the application was pending and an acceptable document is a "pending application". You have to insist if you try, print that list and show it to them, let me know if you try.

Hi @Beciee

 

I would like to echo what @ahas44 has just said. It would be best for you to join the June filers group as participants there would be within your time range. There are 2 June groups and here are their links:

 

Best of luck!

Hey there!

 

Good to see someone from exactly the same area as me

 Our timelines are kind of similar....hopefully we here something this coming month about the EAD.

 

 

 

 

Seems dc office is very backlogged and I am not expecting to have any updates soon for my 485. The uscis website says the 485 for dc office is still on august 2016. But anyway, wish everyone the best!

Don't lose your hope! Uscis website says the same date, august 2016, for Orlando area, but I already have my interview scheduled

Update on EAD: New card is being produced!

 

@Alan&Rachelle Thank you so much for your advice! You saved me from a month of anxiety!!

 

Everybody, if your EAD application has been pending for a long time and you need it urgently, go talk to the local office of your congressman/woman. It doesn't hurt to ask and they might be able to help!

Yay! I'm so happy for you!!! I'm glad it worked. Congressmen/women really do make it a lot faster because USCIS has to reply to the congressional inquiry and look at your case!

Hey everyone,

 

My EAD status has been updated to "New card being produced". Best of luck to everyone who's waiting!  

[strider4 43]

I had one question though for those of you have received the card or have their EAD status update: 

Since they produce an EAD/AP combo card now instead of separate documents/cards, shouldn't the status for the I-131 also change? I only see the change for EAD, in my case.

I don't have the card yet, but I've seen in other posts that it doesn't usually change, so don't worry.
