There been only 3 new interview since reopening. What is going on? Why they first doing N400?  I'm tired waiting for my Green card, can"t leave the country. Is there is a way how i can speed up process?

There is nothing you can do except being waiting in line. Due to this pandemic, there is a huge line for interviews.

The main purpose of a Greencard is not to be able to travel, it's to live within the US. Please fill out your timeline and profile, that members know what process you're in, and where.

Since you say "AOS" in the subject, I assume you're waiting for approval of your I-485. Which means you live in the US on authorized stay, and likely have a work permit (if you applied for one)? You can also apply for advance parole (I-131) which allows you to travel while you are waiting for the I-485 interview and/or adjucation.

Field offices are probably going to prioritize N-400 applications for the time being, since the impact of timeliness for those is bigger than the I-485, especially during election year. You might have seen some words about that in the media during political discussions. There is a huge backlog, and USCIS is suffering not only from catching up with that, but also upcoming furloughs and probably planning for such.

I understand that you're frustrated, but try to be patient and live your life - at least you're already in the US and don't have to wait outside for your new life to begin

Yes, i'm in US already 4 year, came here with J1 visa,  then extended for B2 visa, then got married for green card holder, then fall out of status for few years and in 2019 my wife become a citizen and i file AOS in beginning of January 2020, already got my EAD, but interview "Ready to Be Scheduled" since April. I did not file for advance parole (I-131) because my visa is expired and i been out of status for few years so as i know i will get 10 year ban at the border even with approved advance parole (I-131), is that right?

No. That's not right. With an approved advance parole you would be able to travel anywhere you want/are able to. Too bad you didn't file for it.

 

I filed my AOS in sep 19, still waiting. Some AOS takes more than 2 years. You should be glad you have your EAD and can work. If you need to travel, apply for AP. Someone had it approved in 1 month with a previous approved EAD.

Because citizenship is a higher priority

Are you sure ? Because advance parole is not guarantee reentry to the US, and if border control will give me 10 year entry ban because of my expired visa advance parole will not help me

Advance parole allows re-entry even when certain entry ineligiblilities exist

Not even the green card you applied to will guarantee reentry.

 

Only USC are guaranteed reentry in the US. Everyone else can be denied. It doesn't mean it will happen. Bans are forgiven when you marry a USC and apply for AOS.
