How long would it take for USCIS to schedule an interview after getting the 'ready for scheduling an interview' notice? 

A few months to many, many months. This cannot be predicted even based on knowing the processing times of your local field office.

Dang it, this sucks.  I was hoping to have an estimated time table

You do if you look up your FO processing times for the I485 here: 

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

 

But even so, the range of times is so wide that it's not helpful.

At my FO the current range is between 13.5 months to 30.5 months. How helpful is that?

I agree, not helpful at all. I’m starting to understand why a lot of folks have said the CR1 visa is superior to the K1, in hindsight I think we all would’ve done the latter. 

 

I’m really hoping I can hear something on the interview atleast within 6 months.

HI is 10.5 to 23.5 so that might be a little optimistic.

Have applied for my SSN on 10/24/2018 and they gave me a document with the reference number. The manager told me the date of my arrival on my passport was different than the one on I94. He also told me he sent a request of info to CBP to see why the mismatch.

On 11/05/2018 I got an informed delivery on my email from USPS showing a letter from SSA. Unfortunately, we came home on 7th Nov after our wedding in Hawaii to find out the letter is nowhere to be found in the mail. I blame our apartment building management that has moved very slow in adding me on the lease. I checked SAVE and it says my case returned to the Maryland agency.

I am thinking either 1.they just sent me the letter saying my card will come in the next 2 weeks, and it got returned back because of me not being on the lease(the management building has someone that actually puts all the mail in the mailbox if it has your name inside) OR 2. it was the SSN and it got sent back.

Will be calling tomorrow my local SSA office to see what is going on and keep posted.

Meanwhile, maybe someone can give me more insight if in the same situation, what is the next procedure in getting the SSN.

 *Fingers Crossed* With it being Week 4 I hope you get your SSN card this week!

Has anyone gone for their biometrics and then not had their statuses updated after a few weeks?

hi there i am about to be a November Filer. question about EAD form. I already went to SSA last week and we were put on manual verification unfortunately. we are going to file AOS this week without a pending SSN, what did everyone put below, should we be checking NO for 13a, even though we're pending Social security #?

13.a. Yes

13.b. N/A

And then elaborate on Page 7 "Additional Information" as to your situation that you have applied but have not received it yet as of the time of filing for AOS.

**dont be afraid to use the Additional Information pages to give details on anything and everything that is confusing or might be misinterpreted.

WE submitted our i485, i131, and i785 all together, and the i765was rejected. we resubmitted and it was received af ew weeks later.  Last week we went to our ASC biometrics appointment (3 hours drive) and then we received ANOTHER ASC appointment letter for our resubmitted i765 application.  is this normal that one would have 2 different biometrics?  First one was code 3 and the next one is code 2.  They admitted they made a mistake with the first i765 application, but now won't let us skip this appointment. trying to not take off more work for their mistake. this happen to anyone else?

Maybe because both the I485 and I765 require biometrics if filed separately. I'd call USCIS and ask if you have to go again.
