Hi mr_spock
Can you please tell me if you can see your I-797C NOA for AOS Interview on line? I was on vocation and after your post I start to worry that I did not receive my interview letter yet.
Thank you and good luck.

09/15/10 - Received 2 Text MSG and Email about EAD ordered. My question, Is it normal that they sent the same msg, but the order date change from 13 to 15?
 
I'm having the same issue, pinkplumage. I've now gotten 3 emails about the EAD and my progress appears to be moving backward in time. On sept 9th they ordered production of my card, on sept 14th they ordered production again, then sept 15th they approved the application for EAD, which is a step backward from ordering production! It shows moving backward in the case status update as well. from Sept 9th through the 14th I was in card/document production, but since the 15th I've been in Post Decision Activity :(

7/3 - got married
7/20 - mailed package via Fedex
7/21 - lockbox recieved it
7/27 - recieved emails and texts with receipt #s
7/27 - $1010 and $355 checks cleared
8/2 - 797s arrived in the mail, along with biometric appointment notice scheduled for 8/16
8/3 - walked into the biometrics office, did them early
9/1 - received letter for interview scheduled for 10/18
9/9 - EAD ordered
9/14 - EAD ordered again?
9/15 - EAD application approved but not ordered ???
 
We filed I-485 on July 01. on Aug 31st, we received email that EAD was approved, but it has stayed in post activity status since then. Anyone received email for card production notice and got their EAD so far? Thanks

Update: Received EAD card on 09/16, but still waiting for interview letter.

Mandinko, I am about to file i-693, do you know why you received the RFE for Medical exam- we got done all except the MMR, I hope this doesn't rise a query.

Got my RFE for medical examination. Just wondering if i can do my biometrics before the schedule date.
 
bvkmail: I got RFE for medical because i did not file I-693 when i first file for my i-130 and i-485. You need to do the MMR or show a record that you did it before, what i did was i used my insurance and got it done with my own doctor then he gave me the record which i gave to the doctor completing the I-693. This will save you lot of money
 
Thanks mandinko!

yes I got all the vaccines except MMR -since we had it 2 yrs back I am skipping it. And the civil surgeon wasn't sure about Varicella (chicken pox) & polio but doc said we can skip as they are 'Not age Appropriate' - I showed the doc the CDC link -http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/civil/vaccination-civil-technical-instructions.html which has age appropriate vaccines. Any suggestions - do we need to get the Varicella as my wife never had checken pox before. Just confused how to go about it.
