Case Approved
I-485 finally approved after Case Remains Pending for 40 days
I thought it would never come this moment very until today in the morning. When I completed my morning work and joined to have lunch with my wife, I found this notification from my tracker app "New Card Is Being Produced" which I dreamed of every day especially for the last month.
I hope everyone else in this community will get your cases approved very soon and wanted to share my timeline here.

I don't think it was a fast approval compared to the cases filed recently, but I think it wasn't very bad as there are many other people whose cases are so much delayed.
My case was at NBC all the time, and even when I checked with Emma last time 2~3 weeks ago to request any feedback for my current status. She submitted inquery for me to Tier-2 officer who will be answering to the inquery by phone or email within 30 days. It has been 3 weeks and today I got response that there will be a callback from USCIS customer center with regards to my inquery within 1~2 days, then suddenly my cases have been approved very soon on the same date. I don't know if there is any correlation between these, but at least it seems very coincident.
As far as I heard back from Emma, there was no transfer to any of field offices at all. Recently I saw some article that NBC will no longer approve AOS cases, but it doesn't seem true unless my case has been transferred to FO for the past two weeks that I haven't checked with Emma.

All done
Hey Community, thank you for all y’all help and cheer. I had my citizenship interview yesterday and it was the easiest test I ever had. Securities didn't allow my husband to go inside with me, so asked him to wait in the car. The officer who interviewed me was super nice and sweet, making me less stressed.
Covic questions I had:
when was the constitution written
how many judges are in the supreme court
name one of the longest rivers
what group of people was bought into the USA as slavery
what is the west coast Ocean
how many amendments do we have
reading and writing:
how many senators do we have?
we have 100 senators
Then the officer asked do I still live at my current address and if there is any big changes in my life (baby or work). I had prepared a bunch of proofs and documents including a marriage certificate and my husband's birth certificate, he didn't want those at all lol
After signing on to a tablet, I was free to go home! That's how easy it is!
Good luck everyone and god is there with us.
