Since you expedited your EAD .. did you previously have an EAD? I have one (used to be F1 on OPT) but mine expires on 5/31. Technically... I should get a new one before that date but I am getting very nervous now since it is taking much longer than expected. Or should I just call for an update? What are my best options here?

I was also on OPT and mine expired 10 days before new expedited EAD got approved so I did not have to wait long. It does not hurt to expedite if you already have a job or a job offer. You could apply under severe financial loss and supply documents from your employer. If you have time and liberty to wait then just wait. I don't think it will be much longer for EAD to get approved.

Yeah mine are a few days off too. What's more weird is that while the regular USCIS website says that my "employment-based interview was scheduled", which is obviously wrong since I applied using marriage, the DHS site is still stuck at " We received your biometrics fee and are reviewing your case." I got my interview notice already.

hello! was your interview notice correct (did it say "marriage-based interview")? This just happened to me too.

The interview notice that I received by mail is correct. It was only the online status that says employment-based. Apparently many other people who got called for interview relatively fast (~3 months after filing) have this same peculiarity.

Thanks. I don't think it's the timing thing, because I filed in August but it looks like I've gotten the same weird mix up.

I wrote a detailed review but probably posted it on another thread. I also put it in my timeline. You should be able to find it there.

Medicals appear to be valid for a year based on the information given to me. Because there is a chance that the interview and filing date might be more than a year apart, my lawyer recommending not sending it as part of the application (yes, you get a yellow form saying that you haven't submitted it!) but rather doing it when I got the interview letter. I think you should be good with a December 2017 date as long as it is sealed etc.
