Congratulations to you julia!
Just curious, which Service Center your case was processed? Mine is at MSC and EAD case "cannot be found" til now. I see u had RFE and from TX too, so Im trying to compare my timeline with yours. They got my packet June 30, so Im hoping and wishing i will get my EAD approved in 10-15 days.
Thanks! I am also at MSC, yes I had "cannot be found" for both Travel doc and EAD. Travel doc approval notice was sent out Aug 8th. I guess now that it's been approved it should take hopefully 10-15 days for card to arrive. Yes, just hang in there and you'll hear something soon.
1 more update for today EAD card received .....awesome
Update!!!!!!!!! Approved EAD was mailed out yesterday!!
My interview is this Tuesday I can't wait to get it over with, so about 2 months +/- for actual interview .And a month after for the notice .

wwooooooohooooo interview done and approved and IO said i will have my green card in 2 weeks tops...... ... thats the short version lol..
So my appt. was for 11:30 am i get there around 10 am {way too early} from what i saw each IO gets specific cases for that day and is not a random first come first serve basis. I saw a few people who came way after me get called in ahead and so forth.So i asked the receptionist and she explained that the system is as such that each IO handles cases to case basis.So after waiting 2.5 hrs we get called in finally.IO was very nice and friendly middle aged guy. he asked me a few basic questions name old addresses , my full name my wifes full name when we got married. The standard questions on the 485 about being a terrorist or a member od any etc. .The one question that i was sure to listen for was " did you ever misrepresent or lie about being a citizen to get a job ? " AND DEFINITE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO.Cause if I am not mistaken that is a ban waiting to happen .But he did ask the question and i answered no and it was very easy going.
All in all the intervieW took about ten minutes aNn in the middle of that he paused and looked at me and asked you see what I am doing? He was holding a stamp in his hand and he said I am approving your I130 right now and your 485 as well.I will put it in the computer as soon as you Leave and you will see an update today . And he asked if i have questions and if not we are all good to go.he walked as out and said good luck you will have your card in two weeks.
And as we were walking to the car parking garage I got the text for case updates. AWESOME.
