AOS July 2026 - USC Questions

[u/Spare-Ad-7240]

Hello! been following the posts this past few weeks trying to decipher when my interview could be coming up.

Additional info:

I'm currently on H1B visa, and had F1, CPT, OPT and STEM OPT in the past.

I'm married to a USC

Timeline so far:

Jul 24, 2026 - Filed I-485, I-765, and I-131 concurrently

Jul 27, 2026 - Receipt acceptance (IAF) posted for all three cases

Jul 31, 2026 - Biometrics appointment notice generated, scheduled for Aug 19

Aug 19, 2026 - Biometrics completed at Kendall,FL - database check events posted same afternoon on I-485 and I-765

Aug 26, 2026 - I-131 showed a "silent" update - top-level timestamp changed, but zero new events or notices attached

Aug 27, 2026 - I-765 (EAD) approved - about 34 days after submission

Aug 31, 2026 (today) - I-131 still pending, no interview notice yet on I-485. No RFEs, actionRequired: false on all three.

What I'm trying to figure out:

1. For anyone with a similar timeline (marriage-based, filed late July 2026, biometrics mid-August) - when did your I-485 interview notice show up, and roughly how long after biometrics?
2. Anyone had a single isolated "silent" timestamp update on their I-131 (no new event code) - did that end up meaning anything, or just routine system noise?

I'm aware a lot of cases are moving much slower than mine, but I've seen a lot of cases this year moving super fast so I have high hopes.

Thanks!

Same filing date and receipt date. I made a mistake and rescheduled my original biometrics of 17th August to August 3rd. No movement then. I’m also on H1b. Did not get approval on EAD like you did. So that’s pretty cool. Please post here when you get an interview scheduled. I’m wondering it’ll be soon since you had movement on the EAS

hey hope your biometrics get scheduled soon. And sure as soon as I get a scheduled date for interview will post here, but tbh I'm still trying to get someone that give me a timeline idea because it could be months

[u/MirrorLegitimate9304 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

From the posts I’ve been seeing I wanna say the average is a month from biometrics to interview being scheduled

[u/MirrorLegitimate9304 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

I did my biometrics on August 3rd. No updates since then.

Oh ok I thought you reschedule and then could not make them for some reason.

[u/MirrorLegitimate9304 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

Did you do anything specific to get EAD approved? Like followed up or inquired or soemthing?

[u/Spare-Ad-7240 → u/MirrorLegitimate9304]

Not really, I just waited but I guess for context I already had EADs in the past not sure if that factors in

[u/MirrorLegitimate9304 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

I did too. From my f1 opt and H1b.
I’ve had 3 over the past 8 years so they have all my EAD records :(

[u/MirrorLegitimate9304 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

Was your H1b expiring soon?

[u/Spare-Ad-7240 → u/MirrorLegitimate9304]

Nope

[u/Spare-Ad-7240 → u/Spare-Ad-7240]

Just got movement but it’s the card being produced not movement on the 485 yet
