It really depends on your local USCIS office. My case status has said "ready to schedule for a interview" since the beginning of October. 

I also learn something from another user RenataIzo.  He learned this information from an infopass session.

 

So when your "case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" it doesn't mean that it's in your local office. It's still at the NBC or where you're applying from. Your local office will ask for an amount of cases for that day or week to conduct the interviews. That's when the NBC will send that certain amount of cases to your local office. 
Even though it says "ready to be scheduled for an interview," means that it isn't at the local office yet, but it is in line to be sent. It is still unclear where your specific location is in line or when it will be sent. So, yes roughly anywhere from 10 months to 22 months

I received my ead/ap card after 5 months from filing and currently waiting for my green card interview to be scheduled.  I filed in September 2018. My status for that says case is ready for interview. My local USCIS office is Houston, Texas and they have a long wait. Check where your office is and check there processing times. Some are quicker than others.

Got our interview appointment letter this morning! April 9th... here we come!

[Naes 12,205]

Guys I need your opinion on this matter,

so I did the inquiry right when my date passed. Of course there is nothing and the classic 30 day wait etc etc...

 

So I am getting close to psychologically losing it lol.

 

I am planning on getting the congressman involved, mine is pretty well known for her pro-immigration activities. 

How long should I wait? Should I wait till end of 30 days to pass, or maybe wait only another week or so? Anyone seen any posts in these cases where people involved congressman after making an inquiry and it being meaningless?

El Paso, TX is 11 to 21.5 months. They are currently processing June 2nd, 2017 today for family based petitions. You are in for a wait yet.

 

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Input "i485" and "El Paso, TX". Scroll to the bottom and you will see the processing times I quoted above.

Just do it now. You're outside of processing times. That's all your Govn Rep needs to work with.

I'm a December 2018 AOS filer, although we share the same local field office "San Fernando Valley"..

I think you should contact congressman as soon as possible, especially as you are now outside of normal processing time! I haven't come across any cases involving congressman after making an inquiry but i have seen examples when people have utilised their congressman regarding an expedite and they've been successful.

 

I really hope you get some updates very soon, good luck!!

Husband got his SSC in the mail yesterday and his combo card last Saturday! I have 3 questions though:

 

1.) Should we be worried that on his combo card they only included one of his middle initials?

2.) Should we be worried that on his SSC it only has his first and last name, no middle names?

3.) Does anyone have any tips on how to go about learning to drive in the US? Hubby wants to go through a driving school to learn the laws here. He has a valid license from the UK but hasn't driven much here. (I'm a bit too nervous about letting him drive around the DC-MD-VA area). Are there special classes for international drivers or will he just have to get used to the roads on his own?

 

I'll finally be able to file my taxes now though, and based on what I've read, it seems the best way to do it is just mail them in this year instead of online like I always do.

I can't really address the SSC because my husband combo card had to be sent back b/c his last name was spelled incorrectly. It should match each other though, SSC and combo card.

It's all up to you on how you want to handle the driving. My husband had a driver's license from his country but he doesn't like MD roads and the fact that I stress him out when he is behind the wheel. In order for him to get his MD driver's license he had to take a 3 hour course and pay the fee. In the class they talked about rules and regulations for United States driving. Hope this helps.

Check again! I just checked and it now says "new card being produced" on my husband's EAD! It still said received earlier today.

 

Well that's what it says on the old site the new site still says received. 

 

Also, we had 0 luck with any of our CA reps with our K1. They're all inundated with requests. 

 

Ooo also just got texts/emails while typing this. 

[Madeline & Matt 252]

Matt had his interview this afternoon in Pittsburgh. We left pretty sure that he was approved, without the IO outright saying it. 

Within 15 minutes of our arrival home, I got an update- MATT IS APPROVED! 

 

We never received his Social Security Card after he got his EAD in February, so at the suggestion of the IO, we’re going to go back to the local SSA office once Matt has his green card in hand. He doesn’t see any legitimate reason for them to not give him his card by now, and a green card will get them moving. 

 

So thankful for this all to be over. ❤️

I just received my SSC today (7 working days after I received my combo card). Is it normal/ok that they didnt put my middle initial or my middle name in the card?
